Evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is meant to transform us. In my own life I have often thought that it was just to make me more like Jesus intellectually. In today’s reading Rob talks about the Holy Spirit giving us power to perform great deeds. A power to bear bold witness, a power to heal, a power to love supernaturally and a power to speak prophesy. Wow!

Questions:

1. Of the evidences of the Holy Spirit that Rob shared, which of these have you experienced in your life?

2. If you didn’t have an answer for the first question, ask someone else how the Holy Spirit has manifested in your life. The thing I want everyone to avoid is allowing the devil to get a foothold here. It is easy to go down the path where you think God has forgotten you. Trust me, He has not. He loves you more than you can imagine. And maybe you are just taking your first steps into a better understanding of the Holy Spirit and that is okay.

Prayer:

Lord, we thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. If I am lacking understanding or the experience of Him, open my mind and heart to receive what you have to offer. Help me to not be afraid, but to have courage to accept what you have for me. Help me to humble myself and to trust you in your timing and your plan for me.
