Believers should be open to and encourage the Spirit's moving within each one, including the spontaneity from individual initiatives when gathered together. Believers need to be vigilant to prevent formality of liturgy where the Spirit is stifled, and individual initiatives are not allowed.

About This Quote

If the Spirit is allowed to move within each one of us, then we become better people. We are not bound by tradition or rules, but instead are free to make our own decisions, using our own ideas and ideals. This frees us up to do things that are best for ourselves and others. Many people think that the Spirit is only something for the leaders to use.

However, the Spirit is also there for us all at any given time. If we allow it, then its power can help us live better lives.
