WEEK 3 - REAWAKENING TO SPIRIT OF CHRIST
Jesus did not leave us as orphans; rather, He sent His Holy Spirit to indwell and fill those who put their trust in Him. This week, we will explore various aspects of the Spirit’s ministry to us. Pray for the Holy Spirit to be present and to open up your eyes and heart.
DAY NINETEEN - POINTED TO JESUS BY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST - OMEE THAO
John 15:26
26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
We are here to testify for Jesus (John 15:27); however, Jesus made it clear that it will not be easy (John 15:18–25). The provision for our inability to testify for Jesus is the Advocate or Counselor—the Holy Spirit.
First, the Holy Spirit is the one who can and will testify about Jesus because of who He is. Jesus said that He will send the Advocate from the Father, and He is going out from the Father to us. He is a part of the Trinity or triune God. He has full knowledge of Jesus and can best testify about Him.
Second, the Holy Spirit is the one who will testify about the work of Jesus and the role He plays in our lives and in this world. Jesus knew about our inability and weakness to testify about Him, so He promised to send us the Helper or Advocate—the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will make Jesus known to us and the world as Lord, Savior, and Messiah.
Therefore, let us be strong in our witness for Jesus because we are not alone. We have the Holy Spirit on our side who will help us in every way as we share Jesus with others. All we need is a heart of faith and obedience.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Ask that the Lord will help you grow in your understanding and willingness to yield to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in your witness for Jesus.
2. Pray that He will make His presence known in your church through the Holy Spirit.
3. Ask that He will anoint your pastor and elders with the Holy Spirit so that they can lead your church in the testimony of Jesus to your community.
