goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is
no law.(Gal.5:22-23)
We can be thankful for God working THROUGH our lives.
Philippians 2:13-“For God is working in you, giving you the
desire and the power to do what pleases him.”
God has a specific purpose and calling on the life of every
believer.
Jeremiah 1:5 says “Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I
appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
It is the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of God, living in us that will work through us and enable
us to do these great and mighty works.
John 14:10 Jesus said, "Don't you believe that I am in the
Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing
his work."
verse 12, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than
these, because I am going to the Father."
"How do I yield to God and allow His Spirit to work
through me?"
we have to yield to love.
Matthew 14:14 it says, "And Jesus went forth, and saw a
great multitude, and was moved with compassion
toward them, and healed their sick."
The love of God gives us access to the power of God.
Thanks be to Jesus for our eternal salvation and home in
Heaven.
Thanks be to Jesus for our great life that he provides for
us here on earth:
The joy of seeing His Spirit produce fruit IN us.
The joy of seeing His Spirit work THROUGH us to change
our world.
