ACOP Values

[Merodee]

Respond to the following prompt(s) in paragraph format:

• The A-Team members commented on ACOP's Value for the Fullness of the Spirit, what insights did you get about this value from their comments?
• Which other values do you resonate with? Why?

As the Apostolic Team members commented about the Fullness of the Spirit I heard of Holy Spirit’s three-fold ministry. Some commented to the “with” ministry of Holy Spirit. They spoke of being aware of the abiding presence of the Spirit. Some commented of the “in” ministry of Holy Spirit. Not only is Holy Spirit with us, He is in us. He checks us, leads us, guides us. Others talked of the “upon” ministry of power.

I enjoyed listing to the team talk about the preeminence of Jesus. I am glad that is a core ACOP value.

I enjoyed the sharing of all The A Team members shared. They are all unique in their Values for the Fullness of the Spirit. Mostly all of them shared about the relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwelling in their lives. As a followers of Jesus, we always need to be aware of the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, level of intimacy, dependence on God, seeking God, that we can experience how big, powerful our God is and lastly, we need to adopt the spiritual gifts

Values i resonate with in my ministry is before you share who Jesus in our lives, we need to experience first. It's hard to share Gods healing if we never experience in our lives. Let's see and taste the goodness of our God and them share to them. I've seen and tasted the power of prayer in my lives. I can witness to them because i experience it.

Before we do things, we need to ask God, what would you like to speak to your people because we are his vessel.

To truly fulfill our Call, we need Him to be part of everything we do, constantly with our ‘ear to His chest’ to hear His heartbeat for every situation.. that is what I feel walking in His Fulness comes down too – having His ways permeate all we do.

Loving people, as this is the area I feel I’m being stretched and molded right now. I’m learning to increase my love walk.

I was struck by the vulnerability to share so deeply about their intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. The intimacy is something I really relate to. When I talk to people this is a huge area of struggle for so many people. I have considered it may be because they get filled or baptised with the Holy Spirit and think they are done. Several of the director's mentioned daily infilling and I believe it is only when we are daily in intimate communion with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to fill us and empower us that we can accomplish all that Jesus has set before us.

I resonate with all of them, however the ones that God has focused my heart on for some time is loving God and loving people. Love is so powerful. It can engage people in a way nothing else can. There is a reason the scripture says God is love.
