FOUR WEEKS AWAY FROM THE SPIRIT

An Anglican bishop was asked to preach at a conference in England. For many weeks he did not respond to the invitation. Finally, the corresponding secretary for the conference wrote him a note which said, "We must know if you are coming. We need to make our plans." The bishop responded that he was waiting for the guidance of the Holy Spirit on the matter, and he would let them know in four weeks. The exasperated secretary wrote back: "Bishop, please don’t bother. Cancel the invitation. We are not interested in having anyone speak at our conference who lives four weeks away from the Holy Spirit."

It’s clear what the Holy Spirit can do for and in you. The only question is, "Are you willing to make room for Him?" You don’t need to wait four weeks. He’s ready to enter now.
