Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out, when
the times of refreshing shall come from
the presence of the Lord. (Acts 3:19).
How wonderful to know that you can be
refreshed, renewed, strengthened and
invigorated every day, by the Holy Spirit!
It's part of His ministry in your life; His
indwelling presence brings refreshing and
restoration, such that you're never
discouraged, but rather suffused with
might in your inner man for every task.
Isaiah 40:31 says, "But they that wait
upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk, and not faint." This is the
work of the Holy Spirit in your life: His
love, faithfulness and power can so touch
and uplift you that you'll never be
defeated or discontented in life. You can
have times of refreshing every day,
especially when you pray or study the
Word of God; you can be overwhelmed by
that awesome presence of the Holy Spirit!
Jesus said you shall receive power-the
ability to cause changes-having received
the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). He wasn't
talking about an external power, but
inherent power; that is, power that
resides within you. That power, when
activated, will refresh and make you
produce outstanding results. This is one of
the benefits of speaking in other tongues.
The Apostle Paul realized this great
blessing and advantage of the indwelling
presence of the Holy Spirit in the
believer, when he said, "He that speaketh
in an unknown tongue edifieth
himself...." (1 Corinthians 14:4).
When you speak in other tongues, you're
revived and refreshed; and it's the Holy
Spirit who makes it possible for you to
speak in other tongues. It's so important
for every Christian to receive the Holy
Spirit. No one can fully live the authentic
Christian life without the Holy Spirit. Read
Nicodemus' powerful statement to Jesus
in John 3:2: "...Rabbi, we know that thou
art a teacher come from God: for no man
can do these miracles that thou doest,
except God be with him." How true!
Living to your best potentials, and walking
in the supernatural are only possible
through the Holy Spirit. You couldn't even
understand the Scriptures without Him.
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me
how to activate the power of the Holy
Spirit that's in me. As I hear, study the
Word, and pray in tongues, I declare that
I'm refreshed, revived and renewed, with
the divine strength and enablement I
require to accomplish every task today, in
Jesus' Name. Amen.
Further Study: 2 Timothy 1:6: Wherefore
I put thee in remembrance that thou stir
up the gift of God, which is in thee by the
putting on of my hands.
Isaiah 28:11-12: For with stammering lips
and another tongue will he speak to this
people. To whom he said, This is the rest
wherewith ye may cause the weary to
rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they
would not hear.
