What does it look like when the Holy Spirit is a work in our lives and in the lives of those around us? The Apostle Paul learned the hard way that lofty speech or wisdom gets in the way of the Holy Spirit's work. The Holy Spirit works in simplicity and does not require us to have lives of perfection before he can use us. He works through the uneducated as well as He works in those well educated. He will work in the lives of those that seek Him.
