#615: Using the Power of the Holy Spirit
Show Notes

I want you to acknowledge an important truth today. God’s purpose for your life is greater than your ability to accomplish it. You need a power greater than your own. You can’t fulfill God’s purpose without God. You don’t have enough strength, wisdom, creativity, or resources to do God's will all by yourself.


Main Points:

1. If you are a Christ-follower, it’s likely you already know God wants to use your life. As you serve him, he has tasks for you to accomplish. Your life has a purpose. As you use the gifts, talents, abilities, time, and resources God has given, your life is on mission for God.
2. The God who calls us, is the God who equips us. The God who gives us purpose also gives us power.
3. We gain access to this power by praying and asking God to fill us with His Holy Spirit and then stepping out in faith and trusting God to use us with his power. God’s power is activated when we are using the gifts God has given us. 

 

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Ephesians 3:20 - “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,”

2 Peter 1:3 - “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.”
