The Holy Spirit's Ministry in Our Lives

Consider the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Ephesians 1.11-14 tells us of how deep the Father's and Jesus' love is for us with the Holy Spirit as our "seal", our " deposit guaranteeing our inheritance". It is a beautiful thing to think forward to that day when our deposit is cashed in and we can enjoy heaven with Jesus for eternity. However, let us not miss how the Holy Spirit wants to lead us in this lifetime, before we get to heaven. Have you taken the time in Scripture to wait on the Lord today? Have you considered how the Holy Spirit's filling could impact your life or someone around you TODAY?!

"Christian, listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Obey His voice in all things. He will make you a man (or woman) of prayer. You will then realize the glory of your calling as intercessor, asking great things of God for those around you, for the church, and for the whole...world"
