The Holy Spirit in Your Life

"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" - Luke 11:13 NKJV

There are times when we don't know what to do. When we're at a crossroads. When we're worried or afraid. When we feel overwhelmed. When we're attacked and feel vulnerable. At times like these, we need to remember that the Holy Spirit is with us every moment.

     

 Jesus told His disciples that the Holy Spirit "will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you" (John 14:26). Think what this means: The Holy Spirit, who is in you, is ready to teach you "all things." ALL things!The Holy Spirit is available to help us know "the things of God." Paul wrote that "we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God" (1 Corinthians 2:11-12).
     

 We are not imposing when we seek more of God's Spirit. Jesus said the Father delights to give us His Spirit when we ask. He is ready to be our Comforter, Teacher, and Constant Companion.

      Yet how often we fail to take advantage of the presence of God's Spirit within us. Think of all the power He brings! All the wisdom! All the discernment! All the peace, love, and joy!
      Today, are there things you need to know? Are there problems you face that require God's solutions?
      Remember: You aren't alone. The Spirit is with you. Learn to be sensitive to His leading. Call on Him. Pray in the Spirit. Don't deny yourself the benefit of His presence. He longs to teach you all things, comfort you, strengthen you, equip you, and guide you! Take time to listen to Him right now.
