What an amazing weekend. We had a packed weekend with Dr. Siang Yang doing a training on Saturday and speaking at our Sunday Celebration. If you missed it, here are the links:

There was so much to digest in Dr. Siang Yang’s training that I am sure, for those who attended, you are still thinking and wrestling through much of what was taught.
In all the lessons, words of wisdom, guidance, and encouragements – what stood out to me was a complete emphasis and focus on inviting the Holy Spirit into it all. Dr. Siang Yang emphasized over and over again that it is not about reading more, studying more, praying more – all of which are good things – but these good things without the Holy Spirit would be fruitless or fruit that would not last. It is only by the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit do these actions become fruitful and fruit that will last.
Dr. Siang Yang is the most academically accomplished person I know. By a long shot. But in his great insight and wisdom he understands that it is all rubbish without the power of God, the Holy Spirit.
At Lifespring, we are blessed with amazing minds and education. We have brilliant minds and managers all around us. But, let us take a note from Siang Yang – it is the Holy Spirit that must come first. Everything else is secondary.
Take a moment today and this entire week. Invite the Holy Spirit. Invite Him into your mornings, your meetings, your meals, your family time, your tv time, your entire life. Keep inviting the Holy Spirit. When He is welcome, we will be fruitful.
