SUPERNATURAL

They were all together in one place. Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force—no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building. Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them.

When something happens in the world the social media goes crazy and possibly a story goes viral.

Can you imagine if the story above happened today? Hopefully whoever was there would have caught it on their smartphone video to help the world understand what happened. 

Back in biblical days we know there was no social media only word of mouth. Can you imagine saying I never spoke french before but now I speak perfect french. People would think your sort of crazy. Or even telling how you got to the spot where this gathering was and how you knew you were meant to be there.

I hear these buzz words christianese, soft-self the gospel story, give it the light version, be more seeker friendly, don't overspiritualize.  

Some of the stories in the bible contain heavy spiritual lessons, hard sell and pretty direct language. The stories come from prophets, teachers, judges, scribes and Jesus himself. 

I was just wondering if people out there have comments on this subject.

When something happens in modern day, some have said it is a coincidence or you made it up. 

But the supernatural has no bounds or limits. Does anyone have trouble telling God stories and you find others thinking your crazy? Have you stopped telling your stories because of the negative feedback?

Anybody out there who is shy in telling God stories because the world tends to not want to hear them or you get negative responses so why say them?

I'm kind of hoping we will encourage each other. How we came to Christ. How God speaks to you is important. 

There is no shame in telling our stories or sharing the gospel. If we able to share it is a gift. A gift to talk about our savior and how he works in our lives.
