I want to share with you why I need the Holy Spirit. Some of the things I am saying come from one of Francis Chan's books, my mom shared this with me.
"I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know that I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed. I don't believe that God wants me (or any of you) to live in a way that makes sense from the world's perspective, a way I know I can "manage." I believe He is calling me-and all of us-to depend on Him for living in a way that cannot be mimicked or forged. He wants us to walk in step with His Spirit rather than depend solely on the raw talent and knowledge He's given us."
Another reason we need the Holy Spirit is to convince people to be obsessed with Jesus. We can talk people intro prayer, but cannot talk anyone into falling in love with Christ. I cannot make someone understand and accept the gift of grace. Only the Holy Spirit can do that. "So by every measure that actually counts, I need the Holy Spirit. Desperately."
Just like that, there is the post for the day. I need the Holy Spirit more than anything in my life. I hope that people can look at me and wonder why I am the way that I am. It's because of the Holy Spirit. Of course I am no where near perfect, not even close. Yeah, God has blessed me with certain talents and gifts but I need the power of the Holy Spirit to be a world changer.
~ you are loved ~
