We all need to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. As believers in Jesus, we have the Holy Spirit, but perhaps have not surrendered ourselves entirely to Him for His use. That was the case with me for many years until I reached a crisis point in my life where I was no longer willing to limp along day after day with no real victory.

I ask God to do “something,” and I was open to whatever His plan was! I didn’t even know what I needed, but God did. He is always faithful to meet us right where we are and help us get to where we need to be.

I needed to be filled with God’s Spirit, and by His grace and mercy, I was. I still ask God regularly to fill me afresh with His presence and power and enable me to be all that He wants me to be. We need the power of the Holy Spirit in order to do God’s will. Never depend on yourself, for apart from Him you can do nothing (see John 15:5).

Ask for the fullness of God’s Spirit daily and you will experience closeness with God that is wonderful. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, then you receive power to be His witness. You will change in amazing ways as you trust God’s power to enable and strengthen you.

Prayer of the Day: Father, I ask for You to fill me with Your Spirit today and every day. I am open to Your will and receive Your power and am ready to be amazed, amen.
