Bible Verse of The Day – 5-11-23

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

I love that we have a Helper; our third person of Trinity, the Holy Spirit!

The Bible teaches us that the Godhead consists of three divine persons; Father, Son, Holy Spirit, each fully God and showing fully the divine nature.

The Holy Spirit inspired the scriptures, empowers God’s people, and convicts the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement.

John 16:8 (NKJV) 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

He will be with us when we face trials. He will help us through the tough tests we face from time to time. He will be there for us when we grieve over the things and people we may lose here on earth.

He has been sent specifically to help us!

It’s truly up to us to make sure we have given Him the place to freely move in and through us.

How do we do this?

First, we must be born again. We must be believers.

The Holy Spirit needs a place to live. By repenting of our sins and believing in Jesus Christ as God’s only Son, it gives Him a dwelling place inside of us.

Second, ask Him to come, and believe that He will fill us. Be willing to surrender our body to Him as a living sacrifice.

Luke 11:13 (NKJV) 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

Third, be willing to obey the things the Holy Spirit leads us into. Not just once in a while or just in the things that are easy and convenient to do. But in always being ready to obey the Holy Spirit when He prompts us, even if we don’t feel like we can do what He is asking of us. Take the step toward it and let Him guide us through.

Fourth, open our mouths and speak the words the Holy Spirit gives to us. Pray in other tongues.

Acts 2:4 (NKJV) 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

The utterance that the Holy Spirit gives to us in tongues is the direct language to our Heavenly Father. Don’t be afraid or judge it in any way. Trust Him!
