Gone With The Wind
Dr. Kenneth Sullivan Jr. on September 28, 2025
Here's a 5-day morning Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the themes from the sermon:
Day 1: Hearing God's Voice
1 Samuel 3:1-10
In our noisy world, hearing God's voice can be challenging. Like young Samuel, we must learn to recognize and respond to God's call. Today, practice intentional silence. Turn off notifications, find a quiet space, and simply listen. Ask God to speak to you through His Word and the gentle whispers of the Holy Spirit. Remember, God often speaks in unexpected ways and through unexpected people. Be open to His guidance, even if it seems unconventional.
Day 2: Walking by Faith
Hebrews 11:1-6
Faith often requires us to step into the unknown, just as Philip did when instructed to go to the desert road. What areas of your life require a leap of faith right now? Reflect on times when God has proven faithful in the past. Let those memories strengthen your resolve to trust Him with your present and future. Today, identify one area where you need to exercise greater faith and take a small step in that direction.
Day 3: The Power of the Holy Spirit
Acts 1:4-8, Acts 2:1-4
The Holy Spirit empowers us to be witnesses for Christ. Like the early disciples, we are called to rely on the Spirit's power, not our own abilities. How are you allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you? Are there gifts or talents you've been hesitant to use for God's kingdom? Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh today, and be open to how He might want to use you to impact others.
Day 4: Breaking Down Barriers
Galatians 3:26-29
Philip's encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch demonstrates God's desire to break down cultural and social barriers. Are there people or groups you've been hesitant to engage with because of perceived differences? Ask God to give you His heart for all people. Look for opportunities today to extend kindness or have a conversation with someone outside your usual social circle. Remember, in Christ, we are all one family.
Day 5: Discernment in Deceptive Times
1 John 4:1-6
As we approach the end times, discernment becomes increasingly crucial. How can we distinguish truth from deception? The key is staying rooted in God's Word and maintaining a close relationship with Him. Today, examine your spiritual habits. Are you regularly studying Scripture and spending time in prayer? Ask God to sharpen your spiritual senses and give you wisdom to navigate the complexities of our world. Commit to deepening your knowledge of God's truth so you can stand firm in your faith.
