My child, My Holy Spirit resides in you. I give you abundant life and I’m using you to draw others to Myself. Be My voice, My hands, My feet. Be willing to go and do My will to win the souls of the lost. I am drawing them. Be ready in all circumstances.
My child, I didn’t create you to go it alone here on earth. I created you to depend fully on Me. You can’t do what I’ve called you to do in your own strength. Only when you are surrendered to Me and allow Me to work through you will you experience My Power and My Holy Spirit working. Die to self and Live to Me.
My child, live today in the power of My Holy Spirit. Live today with a renewed mind. I equip you with everything you need to live a fruitful and powerful life. I protect you from evil and discouragement. Don’t hang your head in defeat! The victory is Mine! Rise up! Rule and reign with Me today!
1 Corinthians 15:57
Can you see how important it is to have the presence of the Holy Spirit indwelling our being? Only through an impartation of His life can our conscience be restored to a healthy state. Our conscience then has tremendous influence on our will, which in turn is able to dictate itself more intentionally to the thoughts and feelings of our mind.
The transformation of the mind brings about change in our behavior not merely by attempting to control our flesh through an external system of do’s and don’ts. Rather, genuine change comes from a deep rebuilding of our character—that quality which directs our actions from within and stands firm no matter what we find facing us.
None of it’s possible, though, without a vibrant connection with the Spirit of God. Consequently, developing a lifestyle of communing with God is the key to genuine change. We can’t simply pay lip-service to this spiritual discipline. It has to be real; it must be alive.
Vibrancy in any relationship comes as the result of intimacy. The beauty of it is that such intimacy with God is not only possible, but His design brings with it the expectationfor both growth and bountiful flowering in each and every one of His children. But if that’s truly the case, why do we so often stubbornly refuse it? In a word: self.

My child, I hear your cry. I hear the cry of your heart. I am moving in the lives of your loved ones. I am revealing Myself to them. They are having a head on collision with My Holy Spirit that will result in their salvation. Trust Me. Believe Me. It’s coming.
My child, I long to leave My impression on this world, and I desire to use you in this process. When you allow Me to love people through you, you leave a lasting and eternal impression on their heart. Nothing touches a hurting heart like My unconditional love. Let Me love through you. Open yourself and empty yourself so I can shine through. Make this your daily practice and watch Me display wonders and miracles. To make room for My Holy Spirit to work, you must empty yourself.
