Life can give us lots of problems and many difficult mountains to climb. When life does that to me, I like to soar above them by hang gliding with Jesus.

Abide and Hang Glide!

To learn to glide
And how to ride
With the Spirit
As your true guide
Begin to reside
And to abide
In Jesus Christ.
(John 15:1-5)

Let the Bible direct you to God’s launch site. (John 3:30) Then spread your wings of hope (Psalm 2:5) and take a leap of faith. You can rely on the mighty rushing wind of the Spirit to fill you (Acts 2:1-4) and to lift you higher than you can imagine. (Ephesians 3:20) If you’re tired of being swept along in the wrong direction, (Galatians 5:19-21) let Jesus always be the wind beneath your wings.

Don’t just wing your way through life. Be uplifted. Glide with the moving of God the Holy Spirit in your heart. Humble yourself. Jump into God’s wind (John 3:8) and let Him lift you up. (1 Peter 5:6)

Christ’s joy is anti-gravity. (John 15:11) Hang-glide with the risen Jesus. (1 Corinthians 15:4) Catch the inner updraft of His Spirit and joyfully soar like an eagle (Isaiah 40:31) as you ride with the inner leadings of His Spirit. (Romans 8:14)

It’s important for Christians to learn to be individually led by the Holy Spirit. It’s also important that we learn to assemble together (Hebrews 12:2) to worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:23) and to minister to one another (1 Corinthians 14:26) as we are corporately led by the Spirit.

My favorite church service rarely happens. It is when the preacher loses the control of the meeting, and the Holy Spirit takes over.

If you are wondering about the picture on this post, I wrote a book about Black History and as I researched it, I was amazed at how African Americans survived and overcame the cruel horrors they were subjected to in the USA. Multitudes of them relied on the risen Jesus to get through all the evil they were put through. Their faith greatly inspired me!
