Thank You, Holy Spirit
If your mind has been heavy with frustration, delays, or spiritual discouragement, there’s a simple, biblical way to break that cycle, and it starts first thing in the morning. It may seem too simple at first, but don’t overlook the power of this practice. One simple habit can align your heart with Heaven and invite the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in your life today.
Hosting the Holy Spirit in Holiness
There is no greater privilege than hosting the presence of the Holy Spirit. As believers, we know He dwells within us. But His indwelling presence isn’t something we should take lightly. We are His hosts. And as hosts, we must be careful not to grieve Him. Read more about hosting the presence of the Holy Spirit in this week’s blog.
Holy Spirit: Faithful Friend
The Holy Spirit is not off in the distance; He faithfully abides. This means that you can call upon Him to empower you in even the most mundane moments of life. As a friend is there for you to call upon, so the Holy Spirit has made Himself available to you. In this week’s blog, you’ll discover how to live with a deeper awareness of His presence and how to rely on Him daily.
God is Waiting on You
Are you waiting on God, or is God waiting on you? While it’s important to pray for direction from God, we mustn’t be so afraid of failure that we do nothing at all. In this blog, I reveal what Scripture teaches about taking bold steps of faith and learning to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading.
People of Prayer
People of prayer don’t just pray occasionally; for them, prayer is a lifestyle. They wake up praying, fall asleep praying, and they carve out time in their day to pray. They don’t surrender their time in prayer for anyone or anything. And they are marked by certain godly traits. Because they devote themselves to prayer so fully, their spiritual qualities stand out like bright lights.
Finally Receiving Your Prayer Language
You were never meant to manufacture the gift of tongues—you were meant to receive it. Yield to what God has deposited in you. Read more about the gift that the Holy Spirit gives to believers in this week’s blog.
The Spirit Speaks
As a believer, you may experience some days when you feel a million miles away from God. If you're doubting your identity in Christ, the Holy Spirit has something to say.
Don’t Break the Holy Spirit’s Heart
The Holy Spirit can be grieved… but He can also be pleased. Let your life be one that welcomes His presence. Read this week’s blog and be stirred to live in a way that honors Him.
You’re Being Exposed
The Holy Spirit is exposing you, and that’s a good thing. Jesus talked about how the Holy Spirit would convict us. To convict means to expose, rebuke, confront, and bring to light. But what exactly does the Holy Spirit bring to light? Read this blog to learn more.
Don’t Be Ashamed of the Holy Spirit
Historical context considered, we can still find a takeaway principle: don’t apologize for that which is holy, even if others think it looks foolish. We must recognize that God’s power is a spectacle - it’s supernatural and spectacular.
Recognizing Your Spiritual Gift
Each one of us has been given a spiritual gift. That’s the Biblical truth. So no matter what the enemy tells you, no matter what people tell you, no matter what your insecurity tells you - just know that God has given you a spiritual gift. Learn how to recognize your spiritual gift.
Prayer is by the Spirit
All prayer is initiated by the Holy Spirit. This, of course, does not mean that you cannot, of your own free will, approach the throne of God. This simply means that if there is a desire within you to seek the Lord, then it was the Holy Spirit Who helped to cultivate that desire within you.
The Next-Level Christian
Don’t expect that your life will go just as you want it to go. Expect that your plans will be disrupted. Expect that you’ll find yourself in situations that require much faith. After all, if where you are doesn’t require faith, you’re not in the will of God.
The Dawn of Something New
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Holy Spirit was with them also. The Holy Spirit was not a bystander but an active force in creation.
A Fresh Anointing
Apathy, familiarity, monotony – these are far more detrimental to your spiritual well being than even some demonic assaults. Human nature can be so easily sidetracked. We have the tendency to veer off track. This is why it is so important to approach our walk with the Lord on a moment-by-moment basis. Whether yesterday ended in victory or defeat, we must focus on today. We must learn to walk in a fresh anointing, a fresh touch of God’s power.
7 Marks of the Spirit-Filled
In the first year that I had come to know Jesus, I sought out spiritual mentors and studied them closely. From both men and women of God, I received information, inspiration and impartation. While learning from God’s anointed servants, I came to notice similarities in their mindsets, character traits and even demeanors. They shared certain attributes that I’ve come to call “Marks of the Spirit”.
Flowing with the Holy Spirit
Trying to fight the Holy Spirit makes you miserable. Trying to force the Holy Spirit makes you frustrated. But when you flow with the Holy Spirit, there is peace and joy. When it comes to the work of the Holy Spirit, don’t fight or force; just flow.
Is Being Slain in the Spirit Biblical?
So we see, from scripture, that spiritual things can be transferred and given through the laying on of hands. The Spirit and His power can be transferred through human touch. And what happens when the Holy Spirit and His power are present? In some cases, people are unable to stand or otherwise react physically. We see the reactions to the Glory of God all throughout scripture. So to say that the manifestation is unbiblical, one must deny one or all of these premises. Otherwise, he cannot reject the conclusion.
The Sound of Heaven
There’s just something about the sound of Heaven that has a magnetic pull on people. Wherever the Holy Spirit is moving, people are drawn. When the Spirit moves, believers and unbelievers alike come running to see what He’s doing.
Holy Spirit: Heaven's Greatest Worship Leader
Worship isn’t a chore to be completed or an obligation to be fulfilled. Worship isn’t therapy to be used for our own benefit. Worship is a spiritual reaction to a divine reality. It’s your being’s way of celebrating God’s being.
