In this final message of my Real Life in the Holy Spirit series on The Leader’s Notebook, I explore what a Spirit-filled church truly looks like. Acts 13 shows us Antioch—a powerhouse team of leaders God assembled, then promptly “broke up” for His purposes. Through stories from my own ministry—whether in remote African villages or unexpected encounters at home—I share how God reserves the right to redirect His people and resources anywhere, anytime, without our permission. Sometimes His call feels like a gentle nudge; other times, it shakes our whole “house of cards.” The question is, will we obey? I challenge you to stay so yielded to the Holy Spirit that even His smallest prompt leads you to action. Wherever He sends, whatever He asks—just do what you’re told.
