The Olympics are a wonderful source of inspiration. But I have discovered an even greater source of positive uplifting influence — the world’s best fountain of hope and encouragement — available every moment of every day. I’m talking about God the Holy Spirit.
Let God the Holy Spirit continually release His power to flow in and through you. (Acts 1:8) Keep your body, soul, mind, and heart always filled with God the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 5:18) When we fully surrender our will to the will of God the Holy Spirit, He overrides the weakness of our flesh and fills our spirit with the power of His presence. (Matthew 26:41)
God the Holy Spirit is patiently waiting for you to allow Him to lead, guide, teach, train, and disciple you throughout each day. God the Holy Spirit wants you to be His temple where He can rule and reign supreme as absolute Lord and Master.
It feels bad to be ignored. Refuse to make God the Holy Spirit feel that way. Take time to get to know God the Holy Spirit. He’s the friend who will always be with you.
Christians need to consistently follow and obey God the Holy Spirit more than they need to accumulate Bible information. (Bible information can help them stay aligned with God the Spirit, but it’s not sufficient by itself.)
Biblical Christianity is about hearing and obeying God the Holy Spirit. It’s not about collecting religious information. God the Holy Spirit is Someone to develop a close heart-to-heart relationship with. He’s not a subject to study and analyze.
God the Holy Spirit has come to fill whosoever with His presence, His power, His fruit, and His gifts. Let Jesus, God the Son, baptize you with God the Holy Spirit and His fire. (Matthew 3:11)
God the Holy Spirit
Has a mighty voice.
It’s time that we hear it.
God the Holy Spirit
Is calling you today.
He has a lot to say.
Let God the Holy Spirit
Take your life and steer it.
It’s time to listen
And fully obey
What God the Spirit
Is saying today.
