Making Room for the Holy Spirit

John 8:4-11

In John 8:4, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” The teachers of the law were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing Jesus.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said."

Jesus did not cast the stone. He stepped away. He allowed God to speak into the situation. He let the Holy Spirit speak into the situation. 

We make room for God to move. We make room for the Holy Spirit to move. When we depend on the Holy Spirit, He sensitises us to His leading. He reveals the heart of God to us.  

We no longer function in the natural realm. We enter a supernatural state. God speaks to us. God speaks through us. God gives us dreams and visions. He gives us discernment and insight. He endows us with wisdom.

He opens our eyes to see through His eyes. He opens our hearts to understand. He opens our ears to hear His voice.

He inspires faith in our hearts. He empowers and energises us. We move in His anointing. We see in the Spirit realm. We hear the voice of His Spirit.

Lord, anoint and empower us to move in the miraculous. Anoint and empower us to move in Your anointing. Show us Your power. Reveal Your glory to us.
