The Power of the Holy Spirit in The Life of a Christian: Teachings

The Holy Spirit dwells in all Christians, and because he is God and has all the power of God. He is capable of helping a Christian to overcome his inadequacy and to have a life and a witness which honors God. The secret of drawing power from Him is the secret of faith for us to live by the Spirit. Paul wrote to the Galatian believers, saying, "Live according to the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the sinful nature. In fact, the sinful nature desires that which is contrary to the Spirit, while the Spirit desires that which is contrary to the sinful nature. They come into conflict with each other, so you don't do what you want. However, if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law" (Gal. 5:16-18).

Living by the Spirit depends, moment after moment, on the power of the Spirit to conquer our own insufficiency. Christians must realize that in them there is the almighty power of God and that there is no problem that God cannot solve. Therefore, the life of victory is a life of faith as we live day by day, counting on the Holy Spirit to empower us to serve the Lord effectively.

Nowadays, airplanes transport quickly from one place to another. You can fly and travel thousands of miles within a few hours. The secret, however, is to trust the aircraft enough to board and let the aircraft carry you. Similarly, a Christian faces the impossible task of self-honoring God. But how he dwells in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God can sustain him and carry him at all times in his service and witness to the Lord. It is impossible for a believer to achieve what he should by obeying and committing himself to God without relying on the power of the Holy Spirit.

Are You Being Led by the Spirit?: Daily Devotional

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14 (KJV) Being led by the Spirit of God depends on knowing the voice of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person, meaning that He is a divine personality having the attributes of a person. Therefore, He speaks, sees, feels, and expresses feelings as we do (John 16:13-14).

Remember what we just read: It is said that if you have a carnal spirit, it will lead you to death. But if you have a spiritual mind, you will have life and peace. Easy writing; but absolutely profound! So take a look at your life; Do you live a hectic life? Is your life without peace? When people are nervous, distressed, disturbed and confused, it is because they don't have a spiritual mindset. The word is clear: if you have a spiritual mind, you will have life and peace. A spiritual or carnal mind is about the work of your mind, where you focus your attention. Carnally minded people only react to the things of this world; they are ruled by the flesh. Your focus should always be on the Word of God and the eternal realities of the Kingdom. In this way, in the midst of trouble and chaos, you will always have peace, a life without turmoil! I...
