What Did I Do?

I stopped doing a thing,
Everyone knows is good.
It is about praying and
Reading the Bible.

I told them, read the Gospels
So you know who you are talking to
When you pray.

I said, read the book of Acts.
Jesus said receiving the Holy Spirit,
Is the main thing to pray for,
And WHO, God promises to give
To those who ask, in the Our Father
   Way.    (Luke 11:1-13)

Then I felt the Holy Spirit
Questioning how I spend my time.
I know, its not mine,
it belongs to God.
Promises I have made will not be kept.
Unless I change how I spend,
Well, Gods time.

Fewer and fewer came to
Hear what I was telling.
And read the books I was explaining.
If no one comes to be fed,
Shouldnt we change the diet?

What will they do?
The Holy Spirit, who sent Peter to Joppa,
Made Stephen the next speaker.
Stephen gave his life, And God called Paul.
A table waiter named Phillip,
Became the evangelist to Ethiopia,
Through a bureaucrat, he met on the road.
He also had four preacher daughters.

The Holy Spirit will do what He does.
Some of them will become teachers,
(Some already are) and replace me.
Others will find new teachers,
With things to give, that I dont have,
And ways of learning, that will open
New paths for them to know God.

The Holy Spirit says,
Do what you promised.

I will take care of them.
