We can get beyond just “getting by." We can prevail and live a life of far more joy, contentment, and peace than we ever thought possible. A practical book written in a devotional tone, Supernatural Power for Everyday People shows readers how to rely more fully on the power of the Holy Spirit for growth and satisfaction in their lives.

In this plan you will be blessed to read through several verses of the book of  John, chapter 15. Jesus knew His time with His 12 disciples was coming to an end but had a bigger plan not just for them but for all of us. We were called to follow Christ and walk with Him even in this time and age. Jesus tells us through a beautiful analogy that He is the vine and we are His branches. We are connected to Him, an extension of His good news, and we will bear fruit if we choose to remain in Him. Becoming disciples is His desire for His children and glorifies the Father. 

Staying connected to God is the only way we can walk in faith, victory and live the Christian life. That means we must stay close to the One in the Trinity who abides in us and is on the earth today. His name is the Holy Spirit. If you want to be the person God wants you to be, it’s impossible to do this without the Holy Spirit.
