One of the best things about living in South Florida is the weather in the winter. If you haven’t been outside in awhile, take a few moments to go outside, enjoy the low humidity, clean fresh breeze, and inhale a deep breath. I believe that if you actually did that, you will find that it is both energizing and enabling. In the same way, when you inhale the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit, you will find it enabling and refreshing.

This week, in the 2nd part of our series on the Holy Spirit called “Refreshing”, we will be talking about Spiritual Gifts, how to discover them, how to embrace them, and how to utilize them.
