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.

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations.

God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

HIS NAME HAS POWER IN ALL THREE WORLDS: Daily Devotional

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth - (Philippians 2:9-10). If Jesus really did give us the legal right, that is, authority, to use His name, what results should we expect from using His name? What is so important about the name of Jesus? What does His name represent and why should we have so much faith in Jesus' name? We have the answer in our first scripture. Notice the construction; is absolute. It says, "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow"; that is a sovereign decision, a law in the realm of the spirit. Hallelujah! This sovereign decree applies in heaven, on earth and under the earth (in hell). His name has power in the three worlds; this power is applied to "things," that is, everything that exists in the three worlds; be it thrones, governments, galaxies, principalities, pow...

With God All Things Are Possible - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: Matthew 19:26 (NIV) - "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'" In our journey of faith, we often encounter situations and challenges that seem insurmountable. We may face overwhelming circumstances, difficult decisions, or personal struggles that leave us feeling helpless and discouraged. However, as Christians, we are reminded of the powerful truth found in Matthew 19:26, where Jesus assures us that with God, all things are possible. This verse serves as a beautiful reminder that we are not alone in our trials. We serve a God who is mighty, capable, and faithful. His power knows no bounds, and He is able to do far more than we could ever imagine. It is easy for us to lose sight of this truth when we are faced with obstacles, but the Lord invites us to trust Him and lean on His strength. One of the ways we can apply this verse in our daily lives is by cultivating an attitude of surrender and d...
