UNSHAKABLE BLESSINGS: WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE in CHRIST

DAY 2 OF 4

The Gift of the Holy Spirit

God not only saved you, but when you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He gave you the Holy Spirit, who dwells in your heart to guide, empower, and comfort you. Think about it: the very Spirit of God lives in you! No other religion has a God who comes to live right inside us.

The Holy Spirit is a gift to all who follow Christ, and He’s with you forever. He’s not distant or removed from your life—He’s intimately present in your heart, walking alongside you every day, every step of the way.

The Holy Spirit empowers you to live according to God’s will and helps you to grow in faith. He teaches you truth, convicts you of sin, and is ready to guide you every single day (John 16:13). He also equips you with spiritual gifts that help you to serve others and advance God’s kingdom on earth (Hebrews 2:4). These gifts are meant not only to build up the body of Christ but also to bring glory to God.

The Holy Spirit is your Helper and Comforter (John 14:26). He brings peace in times of trouble, helps you in your weakness, and intercedes for you in prayer when you don’t know what to pray (Romans 8:26). Praying in the Spirit is like hooking up to the power source—it builds you up and edifies you (Jude 20), and it refreshes you (Isaiah 28:11, 12).

In the struggles and challenges of life, the presence of the Holy Spirit is a reminder that you’re never alone. What an unspeakable gift!
