II Corinthians 6:1 Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says,
“In a favorable time I listened to you,
and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
3 We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
This passage follows immediately after Paul's challenge in which he says twice: "We do not lose heart." He is quoting from Isaiah. Paul is talking about the Holy Spirit being the driving force in his ministry and his life. He in no way sought to take the place of the Holy Spirit, but to work with Him when He was moving, listening, working. In our own lives, and as we seek to help others in their spiritual journey, we need to make sure we put not obstacle in the way of people hearing God's voice and realizing He has heard theirs. Our goal is to keep the channel of communication open and see God at work changing our lives and others as well.
