Get Your Spirit BackНамуна

WALK WITH THE SPIRIT

First Corinthians 12:3 says, “No one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, ‘Jesus be cursed,’ and no one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” This verse teaches us that you can’t even be drawn to God, you can’t even find the gift of salvation in Jesus, unless the Holy Spirit is the one who empowers you to say “Jesus is Lord” in the first place.

So let me make this clear: Your desire to read the Bible, your hunger for the things of God, your longing to walk more closely with Him have been orchestrated by God because the Holy Spirit goes before you.

Before your next epic battle, I would implore you to pause and begin to see not just God the Father and God the Son but God the Holy Spirit—the one Jesus promised would come and walk with us. He will remind us of the Word and will keep us in align­ment with it.

Some of us have incredible physical experiences when the Holy Spirit shows His power, while others don’t. You may not shed any tears, you may feel zero goosebumps, but all of us need to pause and say, “Holy Spirit, You already sealed me and filled me up until I overflow. And I live a life of love and surrender that points everyone I know and ev­eryone I don’t know to Jesus.”

This is your challenge, my friend. Take the step. Yield your heart. Let the Word of God cleanse and renew your mind, and then walk forward into the plans and purposes God has for you with confidence, conviction, and humility. Because the Holy Spirit’s work isn’t designed to keep you hiding. The Holy Spirit is going to empower you to move!

Pray for a new filling of the Holy Spirit, and trust that He will guide you.
