My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Holy Spirit At Work

John 14:26, But the counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you and remind you of everything I have told you.

Everyone receives the Holy Spirit when they are saved. What most people do not realize is that there is a step up with the Holy Spirit. Remember when Jesus was baptized? The Holy Spirit landed on Him in the form of a dove. Jesus performed His miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit.

When the disciples were gathered after Jesus' resurrection, they heard the sound of a mighty rushing wind, and a tongue of fire landed on each one of them. The Holy Spirit came to them so they could follow the Great Commission and do Jesus' work.

1 Corinthians 12:7-11, A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good; to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, the gift of healing, to another the performing of miracles, to another prophecy, to another, distinguishing spirits, to another, different kinds of tongues, to another, interpretation of tongues. One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as He wills.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is done by Jesus, through the laying on of hands by a believer. As you can see, there are a number of gifts that most people are never moved to use. One of the most common of the gifts that is used is faith. When your faith grows, it can get to the point where the Holy Spirit chooses to use you for other things.

Think about this. Answered prayer requires faith. Faith allows the Holy Spirit to exercise tremendous power to answer each prayer. Praying for others is following Jesus Will. Faith is the key to everything we were put here to do. By our actions we can lead others to Jesus. We plant the seed, and the Holy Spirit makes it grow.

Romans 8:26-27, In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses, because we do not know what to pray for as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 

For success in life, beyond your imagination, talk to the Holy Spirit, and follow his lead. One other thing. Many people say that they do not know how to pray. If you can talk or think, just tell the Holy Spirit what is in your heart. He will take what you say and turn it into a perfect prayer to our Father.

 I guess if I have to sum it all up, you can have a fulfilling life here, and don't have to die to enjoy it.

Galatians 6 :9-10, Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you. 

Praise The Lord!

Amen
