But really it should not be surprising that the Holy Spirit may inspire a pastor to give a sermon that is Tailor made for someone in the audience who needs to face conviction for their transgressions against Gods will.. All the while the pastor thinks it is his sermon and has no idea that the person is in the audiences.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess that's why the bible has nothing good to say about pastors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone was under conviction (if the shoe fits....) Just didn't know how to deal with it. I've been there, as most of us have. ( except those who have already arrived) ....... Jesus Christ, and Him crucified........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't judge all pastors the same. There are plenty that are sold out to glorify our Lord, to build up the flock, dedicating their life to feeding the sheep. (Anyone who says he doesn't sin, is calling God a liar!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've definitely had this happen. I didn't think it was the Pastor calling out my junk though, rather the Holy Spirit pointing me on away from my mess.

The resulting impact is explained by Paul: "If all prophesy, an unbeliever or outsider who enters is reproved by all an called to account by all. After the secrets of the heart are exposed, he will bow down before God in worship, declaring, "God is truly in your midst (1 Cor 14:25-26)."

I have heard sermons that seemed to be custom made for me. But then I realized there is no such thing as a mind reader so it couldn't be the pastor but instead must be the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
