Battle Gear/Holy "Spirit Power


     As soon as we receive Jesus as Savior, His powerful Holy Spirit begins to reside within us. This Spirit gives us power to move in the world and to make a difference and to make good decisions for Jesus. As we learn to focus on Him and learn how to wear the armor He gives and to walk in step with the Spirit, we can become confident and able to do the work God planned for us to do. Listen to what we have been given:

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and a and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

     Power, love and self-discipline. I need all three of these attributes of the Spirit. How about you? As we read the Word, and pray to our heavenly Father with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can keep in step with Him.

Sinc we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25

     Sounds so easy, but our steps falter every day. We make a wrong turn. We go backwards in our faith. We doubt. We trip. We fear. We stumble. We worry. We fall. And God picks us up, and makes the ground steady beneath our feet. Keep your foundation firm and He will guide your steps.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21

Father,

We want to keep in step with the Spirit. We want to hear Your voice above all of the other voices around us. You offer us love and power and a way to keep in step with the Spirit. Show us the way and we will walk in it.

In Jesus name,

Amen
