Until the Spirit ComesShembull

The Anointing of the Holy Spirit Gets Things Done

“He is intangible and invisible. But His work is more powerful than the most ferocious wind. The Spirit brings order out of chaos and beauty out of ugliness. He can transform a sin-blistered man into a paragon of virtue. The Spirit changes people. The Author of life is also the Transformer of life.” - R. C. Sproul 

With God, all things are possible.  Without God, it is just plain hard work—an incredible grind and worse, impossible.  At times we forget this simple fact.  Even when we pray, we can pray in our own efforts, with no awareness or dependence on the Holy Spirit.  Every time we place a concept, a method, or a teaching above the person of the Holy Spirit, we begin to walk according to the flesh.  Even Jesus, fully man but fully God, did all His miracles under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Is there a part of your life that you’re trying to succeed in without the Holy Spirit?
