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.
