Words of Encouragement
June - 11 - 2006
Think of all the great gifts you've been given. Next to Jesus, God's gracious sacrifice for our salvation, the greatest gift we can receive is God's abiding presence in the Holy Spirit! He is ours if we ask. In fact, when we ask God for anything, the Spirit is already in God's presence interceding for us!
The Scripture for today is Luke 11:13.
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
Let us pray.
Abba Father, through the precious Holy Spirit we come before you asking you to empower us, our loved ones, and our church through the power of your Holy Spirit. We pray for renewal to sweep over our country and our world led by your Spirit of grace, power, and love.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
