Today God says:
"Be filled with My Spirit"
He promises me:
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord". (Eph. 5:18-19)
My response to the word:
I will seek the infilling presence of the Holy Spirit in my life throughout this day. I know God has filled me and He will continue to fill me with His Spirit. It is His Spirit within that enables me to live victoriously in this present world. I will obey His Word by speaking to myself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in my heart to the Lord.
My prayer:
Fill me with your Spirit, Lord, so that I will be able to produce the fruit of your Spirit in all the relationships and responsibilities of my life this day.
Today's scriptures:
"This Lord is the Spirit. Wherever the Lord's Spirit is, there is freedom". (2 Cor. 3:17 GW) "By what I have said and done, by the power of miraculous and amazing signs, and by the power of God's Spirit, I have finished spreading the Good News about Christ from Jerusalem to Illuricum" (Rom. 15:19 GW) "Dear friends, use your most holy faith to grow. Pray with the Holy Spirit's help. Remain in God's love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you eternal life". (Jude 20,21 GW)
Quote for today:
There must be an emptying before there can be a filling. Your life may be powerless because you have never given complete control to God's Spirit. (George Sweeting)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
