We All Believe God Will Use People that We See As Exemplary
But, God Also Seems willing to Use People who Don’t Measure Up in Our Eyes
We All Fall Short – I am not endorsing “sloppy grace”
As followers of Christ, we are formed by our relationship with Him
The Wonder of Being a Child of God
God Will reach people through their relationship with us
Romans 5:5 “… the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (shed abroad)
You Can’t Make a Silk Purse Out of a Sow’s Ear…But God
Luke 9:55 But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of;” (But we should know)
The Power of Confession
The Power and Work of the “Wind of God” – He Yearns to Be Active in Our Life
“Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?” James 4:5 (Amplified)

– But He is Also the “Wind” – Learn to Follow His Leading

The Holy Spirit Uses the Power of the Word
Think of how rare the Word was to them – No Printed Bibles, Only Itinerant Preachers and local elders and ministers who taught what they had heard and those things that were written to them.
Prophets who “speak from God” were “carried along by the Holy Spirit”
This is how we become “His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works”
The Holy Spirit “washes” us with the power of “regeneration” and “renewal”
He cleanses us by washing us with the Word.
