Growing In Prayer Devotionalഉദാഹരണം

T-R-U-S-T  

I use five phrases to focus my conversation with the indwelling Spirit. The five-letter acronym T-R-U-S-T helps me remember the phrases.

T: Thank You

The first thing we do is turn our attention inward to recognize the Holy Spirit’s presence and simply thank Him for His indwelling presence.

R: Release Revelation of Your Glory

I ask the Spirit to release revelation of the realm of God’s glory and heart. Moses prayed, “Please, show me Your glory” (Exod. 33:18). Like Moses, we can ask to encounter the realm of God’s glory.

U: Use Me

Paul exhorted us to seek diligently to be used in the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:31). The Spirit will use us more if we ask Him to.

S: Strengthen Me

The Spirit will touch our minds, emotions, and speech with the might of His presence. Because the Spirit lives in us, the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and so on— is in our spirits now. Thus, we can experience more of the power of this fruit by thanking Him that it is already in us.

T: Teach Me

Ask the Spirit to give you wisdom for every area of your life—how to steward your money, excel in your career, manage your time and schedule, prosper in relationships, function in ministry, and walk in purity and health.

These devotionals are based on Mike Bickle’s book Growing in Prayer Devotional: A 100-Day Journey.
