I remember last year’s MV SHOUT, there were 12 MVs and 4 FTPWs who were in one house learning more about fulltime pastoral work. However this year, we are conducting our MV SHOUT at regional level. We have 7 MVs now in the Region and 3 FTPWs but for the shout only 6MVs and the us 2 FTPWs are present. At some point while preparing for it, I was wondering if it will be as powerful as the first one.
In one of my prayer times the Lord reminded me that it’s not the numbers nor the place nor the people that were important for His spirit to manifest. It is about the willing spirit and heart of the people. That’s why no matter how many is worshiping the Lord, how long the worship is, wherever the SHOUT is, it will be the same Spirit who will touch the hearts of the MVs and manifest itself to everyone. The same Spirit who worked through Abraham to Moses to the disciples to the popes and bishops and to us. The Spirit is constant and will never short-change itself.
“Lord God, you manifest your Spirit in different ways. Thank you for allowing me to see that you are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Teach me to be sensitive of your presence so I may give you more glory everyday”
