Power in the Spirit


     The Holy Spirit of God resides within us as believers in Jesus Christ. Never forget that. He will comfort, guide, encourage, embolden and teach us every day. When others persecute you, don’t despair. He will give you the words to say. Standing up for Jesus will bring blessing into your life. Read these beautiful words from Jesus about the Holy Spirit.

And I will ask the Father and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him or knows Him. But you know Him for He lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17

     The word “advocate” comes from the Greek word paraclete. This is a complex word that brings so much meaning into our beloved Holy spirit. He is our advocate, our encourager, our intercessor, our companion, our power.

Lord,

We take heart today. Fill us with the power of the Holy Spirit. We want to follow His lead as He continually guides us into the ways we should go. Remind us, too, that the world does not recognize Him or know Him. We long for that.

In Jesus name,

Amen
