Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-23

Luke 11:13 (NKJV) 13 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!”

The power of the Holy Spirit is ours for the asking. God gives without prejudice.

And to be clear, this is about more than just seeing miracles and mighty moves of God in mass numbers.

This has personal implications that are far greater than most of us realize.

The impact of the Holy Spirit on our daily lives and our relationship with God cannot be stressed enough.

On a personal level, submitting to the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit will cause us to grow spiritually in ways that we might never imagine.

He empowers us to break free of things that may have had a hold on us for months, years, or even decades.

Strongholds, addictions, fears, weak faith, a lack of understanding about certain things, etc., can all be removed permanently from our lives when we submit to the Holy Spirit.

Physical illnesses, diseases, and conditions of impairment can be healed instantly.

He teaches us to have mercy and compassion toward others. He teaches us how to pray.

And the list goes on.

I can personally testify to how rapidly I grew spiritually when I allowed the Holy Spirit to get ahold of me. It was mind blowing.

So, how does this happen?

We get serious with God, we sincerely repent if we have previously failed to do so. And we ask Him to fall upon us, filling us and empowering us to walk obediently.

We set Him free to move in our lives, not just in our actions, but also in our words.

We allow Him to speak through us, whether in our native language, which we and others can easily understand, or in tongues, the heavenly dialog which allows us to “speak mysteries in the spirit” which men do not understand.

1 Corinthians 14:2 (NKJV) 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

Overall, the Holy Spirit should not be ignored or pushed off because we don’t understand Him or His application in our lives.

Doing so will cost us in more ways than we realize. And it will cost others who may benefit from us allowing Him to move and work in us.

Do not wait. Submit to Him. Seek Him. Invite Him to fall on you, and let Him fill you.

Every one of us needs Him to be prevalent in our lives, so that we may put an end to mediocre living, learning to live and move by His power every day.

We hope this series has been uplifting and informative, bringing you new understanding on this vital topic.
