LEVERAGE YOUR LIFE- THE SECRET WEAPON
Once you receive God’s Spirit at the point of salvation, you can never lose it. He does, however, come to dwell in your flesh, so the natural human desires of your flesh and God’s Spirit are now at war within you. If you choose to live by your flesh, you’ll be exhausted, depressed, and full of anxiety, shame, and burdens. Anytime you experience those feeling, you simply need to pray and ask God’s Spirit to give you His unlimited joy, love, or peace through His authority and power.
It’s almost like recharging your cell phone. It’s something you have to do again and again daily. The “charger” is prayer. All we have to do to access the power of the Holy Spirit is truthfully ask for it! Sound too simple? Well, have you actually taken the time to genuinely ask the Holy Spirit for His fruits to supernaturally shower over your life?
The next time you feel defeated, try praying:
“Holy Spirit, you know I am struggling right now. I can’t do this on my own. I believe you are more powerful than my flesh. I give my situation to you. Please give me your joy, peace, self-control (or whatever fruit of the Spirit you need).”
He can, and will, give you exactly what you need in your moment of struggle if you come to His throne room with a humble heart.
