The Holy Spirit moves among us and will make us act in certain things. The Holy Spirit pushes us to step out of our comfort zone and into a place where we can grow spiritually. When we read in 'Vivid,' Aaron Baart describes the Holy Spirit as a crazy uncle who no one can predict what he will do next. He describes the Holy Spirit as more of a force than a person. The Holy Spirit gives us the strength of Jesus and pushes us to move. I have felt the presence and gentle nudges of the Holy Spirit on several occasions, some I remember and some I don't. I felt a little tug in my heart during youth group or Sunday school to speak what I had to say. I don't know why God wants me to speak in those moments, maybe so my questions or comments lead to a realization for another person. There are times when I simply feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in times of worship or times of prayer. There is a comfort and hope that fills a room. The Spirit can move us to do crazy things, and there's a quote from Vivid that says, "I can do greater things than Jesus." It's crazy to think I can do greater things than Jesus did with the Holy Spirit at my side. Jesus healed the sick, gave new eyes to the blind, walked on water, and rose from the dead. With the Holy Spirit within me, prompting me to move and say things I normally wouldn't be able to say or do, I can do more.
