“For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” Matthew 10:20
Do you sense God’s Spirit with you on a daily basis? Do you ask God to fill you with His spirit morning by morning? Does your life reflect the presence of God’s Spirit living within you for all to see?
The great Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, the first to discover the magnetic meridian of the North Pole and to discover the South Pole. On one of his trips, Amundsen took a homing pigeon with him. When he had finally reached the top of the world, he opened the bird’s cage and set it free. Imagine the delight of Amundsen’s wife, back in Norway, when she looked up from the doorway of her home and saw the pigeon circling in the sky above. No doubt she exclaimed, “He’s alive! My husband is still alive!”
So it was when Jesus ascended. He was gone, but the disciples clung to his promise to send them the Holy Spirit. What joy, then, when the dovelike Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost. The disciples had with them the continual reminder that Jesus was alive and victorious at the right of the Father. This continues to be the Spirit’s message.
Let the Holy Spirit work and love and move in and through you today. JESUS, said it best when He said, in John 7:38, “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” Let the river of God’s Spirit flow in and through you.
By His Spirit,
Pastor Bill
