Hey friends! I wanted to write about a book I have been reading recently that has been SUPER encouraging to me. The book is called “Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire” by Jim Cymbala and Dean Merrill. This book is about the Brooklyn Tabernacle church, and Pastor Cymbala writes about what can happen in our churches (and in our lives in general) when we live in complete surrender to the Holy Spirit. This church has some incredible stories of how the Lord has used people to speak to and encourage others in amazing ways, and sometimes you even read about the Holy Spirit doing miraculous healings right before your eyes! It is truly amazing to read this book and see the incredible movement of God within these church and the lives of the congregants. I will conclude this post with my FAVORITE quote from the book that is extremely thought-provoking and convicting:
“I despaired at the thought that my life might slip by without seeing God show himself mightily on our behalf.”
