"THINE" THE HOLY SPIRIT
The dove is just a simile,
the Holy Spirit is not a dove it just
descended gracefully
"like a" dove.
By the time I got to this point I was way over an hour but I still did every step after a while I spent more times on certain areas different days of the week.the Holy Spirit is not a dove it just
descended gracefully
"like a" dove.
45 minutes of prayer
if you're already at this point good congratulations, it took me a little longer to get this to a regular and consistent prayer life. Oh I prayed but it was a little chaotic and disorganized and they really didn't become life changing until I did start an organized prayer life a bit more.It's about to get even easier to pray because now we invite the Holy Spirit to come along.
This is when we move from just Prayer to spiritual warfare.
Here is the point that actually will give you the power to pray for hours. Let's talk about the Holy Spirit. If you read my last post then you will know that the Holy Spirit has become so important to me that my day starts with acknowledging Him and inviting Him to be with me that day. My last word at night is to say good night to Him and ask Him to watch over me.
Who is the Holy Spirit and why do we need Him?
The Holy Spirit is the reason today we can Watch and pray. He is the one that can actually direct our prayer without a structure. It is the Holy Spirit that gives us the Power to pray with the Authority of Christ. It's the Holy Spirit that applies grace to our prayers and to us. The Holy Spirit protects and comforts our minds. It's the Holy Spirit that every second of your life will wait by you to invite Him into your daily life. Guidance direction, empowerment, passion are all part of what the Holy Spirit can be in your life.
So that's it this 5 minutes is just a time for you to ask (Invite) the Holy Spirit to guide you to be apart of your life and others lives. It's a time to use the gifts for the harvest for healing for life.
Here is a little more about the Holy Spirit just so you can know all the things that the Holy Spirit has for you.
Today though for prayer I am going
to talk about really things that we need for Prayers.
I. The benefits
of the Spirit
1.
The
Power of the Spirit
a.
It
is the Power that sustains us in prayer
b.
It
is the power of the Holy Spirit in us that put’s action into our prayer
c.
It’s
the power of the Spirit that drives us
to our knees to pray
2.
The
Comforter
a.
It’s
the comforter that heals our heart from the wounds of spiritual warfare
b.
It’s
the comforter that allows us to not be afraid because we are never alone.
c.
It’s
the comforter that puts compassion and empathy for others
d.
It’s
the Comforter that breaks our Heart for the things that breaks the Fathers
Heart
3.
The
fire of the Spirit It gives us passion and a heart for the harvest compassion for others and a love of the house of God.
a. He’s
the fire that drives us to prayer
b. He’s
the fire that is the power that devours the works of the enemy and also that
brings change and revival to us and to the world.
4.
He's the Helper and the one who brings all things to remembrance
a. He’s
the helper and the one who brings all things to remembrance that does the most
for us and others on a minute by minute.
b.
He’s the helper who is always there when
someone is troubled and comes to you with a need for a word of encouragement
and direction.
c. He’s
also the one that when we study anything that will bring it to mind when we
need it. Which is why the more of the
Word of God you read the more He can remind you of.
d. He’s
the helper reminder that allows us to pray when we have no idea how or what to
pray.
II. The
Gifts of the Spirit.
These are the gifts that the Holy Spirit gives us to do the
Work of the Father I will go further into discussion on each of these at a
later date.
GIFTS GIFTS GIFTS
1 Corinthians 12:
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know that[a] you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore
I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls
Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy
Spirit.
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
1) Word of Wisdom
2) Word of Knowledge
3) Faith
4) Gifts of Healing
5) Working of Miracles
6) Prophecy
7) Discerning of Spirits
8) Divers (or different) kinds of Tongues
9) Interpretation of (different) Tongues
I believe that the Holy Spirit has given all of us these gifts they are ours to
use when we need them. They are gifts though and we can Choose open
them and to use them or throw them into a corner.
III. The fruits of the Spirit these are simply the result you will see in your life if you walk daily guided by the Holy Spirit.
1.
Love
2.
Joy
3.
Peace
4.
Patience
5.
gentleness
6.
Goodness
7.
Humility
8.
Self
Control
9.
Faith
Enjoy the week finding out all the ways the Holy Spirit
will be with you and guide you if you just spend 5 minutes acknowledging Him
and Inviting Him into your day.
I found this on a web page and found it quite Good I don’t
know much about the Christian Apologetics and research Institute so I can’t
recommend all of their doctrines but This I found very good.
