Food for the Hungry Soul...
Good Morning LEJ Friends,
It is so good to be back at the keyboard and computer screen again! When I don't write, it feels like there is something missing in my life. I must use 'the gift' of writing that God has given me, to help encourage, inspire and enlighten my brothers and sisters in Christ especially during these times of satanic attacks in the world.
Today's 'Soul Food' Menu Item: Receive the Holy Spirit
This Sunday is 'Pentecost Sunday' which is the 'birthday' of the Church. On this day, centuries ago, the blessed event of the Holy Spirit filling the believers that were assembled in the 'Upper Room' in Jerusalem started the beginning of Christ's Church in the world.
This historic event changed everything. The believers then were now filled with the power to witness, perform miracles and to preach the Gospel of Christ to the lost and the world. God is still filling believers with His Power of the Holy Spirit.
We may have believed in Christ at one point in our lives and joined a Church somewhere along our lives, but have we ever 'asked God' to fill us with His Holy Spirit? When we ask God to fill us with the Holy Spirit, God is very willing to fill us with the Holy Spirit ...
But!! We have to ask. Nothing happens, if we don't ask!!
Please consider what Jesus said about this ...
'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!”' Luke 11:13
If our souls are hungry this morning, we must first seek God and His Kingdom in our lives and ASK for the HOLY SPIRIT by the way of a prayer for this to happen. When we pray, God will fill us with the Holy Spirit and we will begin to feel His Joy, Power and Presence in our lives.
This is 'real GOOD' soul food!
If you have never prayed for God to fill you with the Holy Spirit, below is a simple prayer that will help you.
Dear Heavenly Father, I ask Jesus into my heart at this moment. I turn from my sins in repentance and want to live for You from this day forward. Your Word says that You will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask for it. So then, at this moment I ask now for the Holy Spirit to fill me and I trust You to fulfill this promise to me at this moment. Thank You Father that You have heard my prayer. I praise You and thank You for this wonderful gift and I will serve You all the days of my life. In Jesus Name, Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer in faith, you my friend have been filled with the Holy Spirit! Now take time to day and thank the Lord in prayer or in song or in service in a special way. Keep praying all though the day and God will show you every step that you are to take in this walk of faith!
God Bless you richly!
Happy Birthday Church & it's disciples!!
Faith Man.
