EXPERIENCING THE SPIRIT

                                   THE SPIRIT IS SPEAKING…

You may be one who wants to live in victory and make a difference in the world, but the world is winning. Perhaps you're not experiencing the Bible's promise to be an overcomer; instead, the world has overcome you. And the life of Jesus seems so foreign. Let me assure you, Jesus knows what you're going through. He knows your weaknesses. He knows your struggles. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

(Hebrews 4:15-16) So come to Jesus, that He might show you the way to abundant life. He'll help you know the way He lived—full of the Holy Spirit. You've worked hard and tried your best. But you have yet to experience what you know is available to you in Christ. Do you want to know Jesus’ secret? It was the work of the Holy Spirit in His life. Have you been living according to your natural abilities without considering what the Holy Spirit desires to do in your life? Have your abilities even kept you from seeking Him with all your heart? Come to Jesus and learn from Him. He'll show you the way. You may want to pause in this moment and pray in response to what you've heard Him speak to you in this chapter.
