Holy Spirit Promise

John 12; John 13; John 14

Scripture:
John 14:15 “If you love me, obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.

Observation:
Jesus spoke of the promise of the Holy Spirit living in the lives of believers. The Holy Spirit would mentor us and fill us with power to do the impossible. The world does not look for him because they are blinded by the things of this world.

Application:
As i reflect on this passage today I am reminded that God has given me the best gift ever, the Holy Spirit. I am empowered to do great things and have direct access to the throne of God because of Jesus. Jesus truly is the reason for the season and more than that the reason and meaning of life. There is none like Him. I am reminded today to activate the gift inside of me. To walk and to live by faith and not by sight. This season has been busy and I feel a need to slow down and rest. I need time just sitting in the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is so good to be in this season, in a great church, in a great city with great people. I truly am blessed.

Prayer:
Lord I thank You for all You have done for me. I pray today for peace and wisdom. I pray for favor and blessing. I pray for miracle and breakthrough's. Bless my wife, our home and our finances, our friends, our family and our health. Thank You for always providing and for always making a way for us. Thank you for peace in this season. I rest in Your goodness and faithfulness. Amen.
