You have Supernatural Help!
The Holy Spirit, that
wonderful gift sent by our risen Lord to indwell us and empowers us. The Lord
has not set before us ideal of a life filled with praise and then left us alone
to achieve it. How could we, on our own reach such as a high goal- with the
down-pull of our old fleshly patterns of living; with the pain of our trials,
large or small; with our tendency to depend on ourselves and get distracted
from the Lord and do our own thing.
He is within you as a
fountain of water, springing up to fill you with fresh life-life that is
eternal, life that is full. Through him, time after time, you can know the
refreshment that comes from the presence of the Lord. Through the spirit you
can understand the scriptures and experience the marvelous things God has
freely given you in Christ. Through him you are liked in vital oneness with the
father and the son and have all you need for life and godliness. You have all
you need to inspire praise; comport, encouragement, inexpressible joy,
overflowing hope, strength in your innermost being and power to love and serve.
You also have power to
praise and give thanks: “Ever be filled with the spirit…continue giving thanks
for everything” (Ephesians 5:18). You don’t have to beg the Holy Spirit to fill
you…To gracious influence and control. He then performs his amazing ministries
in you
