Holy Spirit, thank You for coming! Thank You for uniting me to the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, my Lord. Thank You for giving me a new heart and a new spirit, for dwelling in me and for Your promise, that having begun the good work of salvation and transformation in me, You will bring it to completion. I love You, Lord; I praise You and worship You. I thank You for empowering the Body of Christ for the ongoing ministry of Jesus in the world. I ask and receive from You today Your anointing and filling for the day ahead of me. Thank you for saturating me with Yourself, immersing me in Your own Self and Presence. You have sealed me, uniting me to the Holy Trinity. You are my Comforter, Counselor, Sanctifier, Teacher, Strength and Power for life and ministry. I surrender to you, this day, all that I am; my whole being: spiritually, mentally, willfully, emotionally and physically. Fill me, Holy Spirit, I ask You this day so that I may walk in step with You in all things. Fill me afresh, I pray, confirming my union with You, the Father and the Son. Lead me into all truth. Take what Jesus is saying and doing and make them real to me. Anoint me with Power for life, for Your call on my life, the ministry You have designed to work through me and make Jesus more real to me this day than ever before. Thank You for pouring out upon me and within me the grace and Power I need today. Lead me, Sovereign Lord into all You have planned for me to live out!

  OUT IN THE OPEN God has not hidden what He has done to redeem humanity. He offers us the only way of true repentance, faith, forgiveness of sin and a new life that is unending. Truth is, though, He never forces repentance, faith, forgiveness and a new life on anyone. He desires a relationship, not the programmed responses of humanoid AI. His love for us has exposed the utter ruin of humanity because of our rebellion and sin. He doesn’t want us to be deceived into thinking that at the end of our lives here on earth we will all get a “participation trophy”. We have all personalized and internalized our rebellion against God. Humanity’s rebellion against God can be shocking horror or the civilized folly or relying on our broken moral compass to bring ourselves back into a state of wholeness. We want to be the ground of truth. We want our emotions enshrined and worshipped by all. The root problem is that humanity is spiritually dead and separated from Life, Himself. Both pride and ho...

  PSALM 119:132 “Turn to me and have mercy on me, as You always do to those who love Your Name.” Here is the cry of an understanding heart. The Psalmist is acknowledging that life in all its fullness, the life God intends for us to live out here on earth is only found by God’s pursuit of us, His turning to us that we might turn to Him. The Psalmist knows that “Salvation is of the Lord.” He cries out for the Lord’s mercy to cover Him. He acknowledges that those who know the Lord, those who are known by Him and who love His Name, always find God’s mercy and grace to live out the life that God commands. God provides the wherewithal to do what He has commanded. He gives us the indwelling Power and Person of the Holy Spirit to BE Life within us. It is the Holy Spirit who conforms us to the Image of Christ Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit who perfects in us the obedience of Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit who makes God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He enables us to cooperate w...

 UNDERSTANDING GOD'S MERCY Matthew 13:58 “ And so He did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.” I have heard it said that somehow the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through the Lord Jesus Christ was somehow limited by the unbelief of the folks in His hometown of Nazareth. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Nothing limits the power of God nor His grace give to sinners to redeem, heal, and restore them to God. What we see is the mercy of God towards broken people. He will not reinforce unbelief. If someone refuses to believe who Jesus Christ is and what He has done, the Lord in His mercy will not reinforce that unbelief by manifesting His healing and delivering power upon the one who does not believe. Otherwise, we broken humans might come to think that we can get from God what we want because we want it, not because we have surrendered our lives to Him in faith. Christianity is not refined paganism where we get God to do what we want because we h...
