Name: Braised Chicken W/ Artichokes
Ingredients: 4 ts Olive oil; divided; 4 Chicken breasts without skin & bones; 3/4 c Red onion; chopped; 2 md Cloves garlic; minced; 1/2 lb Button mushrooms; thinly sliced; 1/4 c Tomato paste; 3/4 c Low sodium chicken broth; 3 tb Balsamic vinegar; 1 cn (14 OZ) artichoke hearts; drained and halved; 1 ts Basil leaves; dried; 1/4 ts Thyme; dried; 1/2 ts Salt; 1/4 ts Pepper; 1/3 c Parsely; chopped; 2 c Penne Pasta; cooked; 2 tb Parmesan cheese; 5 minutes.

The Bible does not provide a uniform formula for the proper physical or emotional reactions to the presence of the Holy Spirit. The presence of tears, convulsions, jerking, laughter, etc. are no measure of the Spirit’s presence. When we canvass the Scripture to see how the saints reacted to the outpouring of the Spirit, we see no prescribed form of bodily behavior. Habakkuk had a quivering lip and a trembling belly. Others fell to the ground as though dead. Some wept, some sang, some were reduced to stunned silence. In light of the diversity of human personalities and indeed the very nature of man, the presence or absence of these responses is no true test of the authenticity of the Spirit’s work. However, I hasten to add that though a wide variety of emotional responses may be detected in Scripture by those who encounter the living God, there is at least one emotion that may safely be excluded from the list – namely, boredom. It is hardly possible for a creature made in the image of God to be awakened or revived by the Spirit of God and be bored in the process.
