Under the Influence نموونە
The Holy Spirit Fills Us With Peace and Joy
We all go through different situations in life. Challenges knock at our door no matter who we are, and we are all of a sudden faced with trials along the way.
It is sad to see how many Christians live in bitterness because of some situation or because of letting some offense take root in their heart.
Are you worried? Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your life, so that even in the midst of the storm and problems, you will have peace. Because peace is not an act; it is not a feeling; peace is a person and His name is Jesus. When we live under the influence of the Holy Spirit, we are filled with peace and joy.
Do you want to live a happy life? Don't try to be happy, try to be joyful!
Do you want to live a life of peace? Be filled with the Holy Spirit daily.
If we reduce being filled by the Spirit to one event or only to Sunday, we will live joyfully only on Sunday and then bitterly from Monday to Saturday. God wants us to live joyful lives every day of the week.
Let's be the happiest people on the face of the earth, so that others will want what we have. Let's be the people who share good news, who speak life, who encourage, who lift up; let's be the people who spread joy to everyone they come across.
Let's ask for His fullness every day, so that we will be filled with joy and peace!
Prayer: Holy Spirit, I ask you to help me live under Your influence, with a joyful and genuine attitude, so that I can encourage others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
