Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
October 16, 2023: SOAP #5065: Malachi 3-4; Psalm 148; Acts 5

SCRIPTURE:  Acts (NIV) 5:32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

OBSERVATION:  In the context this refers to the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus, but it is a truth that can be applied to everyday and everything I experience. 

I know what happened; I was there.  AND the Holy Spirit knows what happened; HE WAS THERE TOO!!!  

In fact, His understanding of what happened is much greater than mine!  

APPLICATION:  Instead of me praying to explain all the details of what happened, I should be asking HIM to fill me in on the details of what happened!  

If I would take time to listen to the Holy Spirit as I am praying, I would probably hear Him saying, “I already know; Leon, I already know!” 

PRAYER:  Holy Spirit, knowing you and trusting you, I can leave what I do not understand in your care.  When the time is right, you will fill in what is lacking in my understanding.

Pastor Andrew update:  The results from the x-rays should be back tomorrow (Monday) and Doris thinks he will be released to return home then. 
Here are two notes from Pastor Andrew’s wife: 

#1.  He has started recovery and moving around the hospital, he has started eating as wel
#2.  He’s still in the hospital, and we are patiently waiting for the x-ray results to be out. As for the internet I don’t know because his phone was stolen as it is right now he didn’t have a phone to browse internet.        
Lets pray for God to provide a good phone for Pastor Andrew.  Perhaps, if he is unable to travel to Central Africa, he can do a video conference.
