God's "no" is not a rejection or failure, but rather a step of faith toward His provision for a greater plan for our lives.

We must learn the basics of trusting and obeying.

Describe your personality in general terms, then explain how you believe you are led by the Holy Spirit. How does the Holy Spirit get your attention?

To what or who
 are you yielding your life?

What does it look like to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

God works His mighty plan despite our expectation misunderstandings to reveal His power and His love on our behalf.

If you are not going in the power of the Holy Spirit... you are going on your own.

We need to be a group of people that proclaim the love of God by living with an expanding perspective of other people and other cultures.

When we let God work within us, He empowers us to influence the people around us.
