The book “The Gordian Knot” was inspired by a sermon I gave at a small county church I was the co-pastor of. As I went on stage, prepared to deliver my sermon, I heard the Holy Spirit call to me. The Holy Spirit began talking through me, adding more wisdom to my message, and suddenly it felt like I was no longer standing at the pulpit. I was no longer looking at my notes but slowly pacing back and forth on the stage, conveying the new message.
I hesitated at one point as I started to see where this was all going, and then quickly resumed preaching. Immediately following the pastor’s closing prayer, a member of the church’s visiting clergy jumped up and came rushing up the center aisle to where I was standing, yelling, “That wasn’t you! That wasn’t you! That was the Holy Spirit!” And with that, the congregation had become quiet, and all eyes were on me as I calmly answered back with a big smile; “You’re right, that was the Holy Spirit!”
The experience changed my life and inspired me to write a book where I could share the message of the Holy Spirit not just with my congregation but with anyone and anywhere in the world.
