The Holy Spirit | The Holy Spirit Empowers

Have you ever received really bad news, and yet you somehow sensed an unbelievable peace and knew everything was going to be okay? That was the Holy Spirit working in your life. When you don’t have enough faith on your own, the Holy Spirit gives you the faith you need to make it through. He empowers you and gives you peace. You just have to be open to receive His help.

The only way you can receive His help is by spending time in prayer. Prayer alone prepares you to hear the Holy Spirit and receive His gifts. The more time you spend in prayer, the more clearly you are able to hear His voice and the less often you mistake it for your own.

The Holy Spirit continually intervenes miraculously in our lives, but we often think it’s mere coincidence. The reality is the Holy Spirit not only wants to do miracles in your life, He also wants to do miracles through your life. Nothing is too hard for the Holy Spirit. He wants to empower you on a daily basis. The Holy Spirit is everywhere, and His gifts are for every believer—including you! Are you open to receive His gifts and His help today?

Memory Verse

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. Romans 8:26 (NIV)
