Uncharted: Making Room for the Holy Spirit | Living a Spirit-Led Life

A Christian church that desires lasting impact must learn how to make room for the Holy Spirit. Being a Spirit-led Christian is not about comfort or routine. It is about surrender, obedience, and intentionally creating space for God to move.

Romans 8 reminds us that the sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit. This is not an occasional experience but a daily way of life. The church is strongest when it is guided by God’s presence rather than controlled by human plans.

In 2 Kings 4, Scripture gives us two powerful examples of what happens when people make room. A widow gathered empty vessels, and oil flowed until there was no more room. A faithful couple built a room for the prophet Elisha out of honor for the presence of God. In both stories, God’s provision followed obedience, and miracles followed intentional space.

The oil did not stop because God ran out. It stopped because the room ran out. This truth still applies to the Christian church today. God is not withholding His power, direction, or blessing. He is responding to how much room we make for Him.

For the church, this message matters deeply. A Christian church in Orlando must decide whether it will be Spirit-led or schedule-led. Making room looks like prioritizing Scripture, cultivating prayer, honoring the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and responding with faith even when it costs time, comfort, or control.

The room built for Elisha later became the place of resurrection. What begins as an act of honor can become the place of future breakthrough. When a church makes room now, God prepares His people for seasons they cannot yet see.

If we want renewal, clarity, healing, and purpose in our walk with Christ, the answer is simple and challenging. Make room for the Holy Spirit, and allow Him to lead the church, shape the people, and move freely among us.
