COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

2 Cor.13:14

I was reading an article about when Jesus walked the earth and how He had such a bonding with the Holy Spirit. Communion in the Greek means: partnership, fellowship, a sharing together. Jesus and the Holy Spirit were always working together. Read some of these scriptures.

1. Luke 1:35--conceived by the Holy Spirit.

2. Matt. 3:16--empowered by the Holy Spirit.

3. Matt. 4:1--led by the Holy Spirit.

4. Acts 10:38--healed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

5. Matt.12:28--cast out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit.

6. Rom.8:11--resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit.

7. Eph. 1:19-20--seated at the right hand of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.

8. John 5:30--His total dependence on the Holy Spirit.

I see a pattern here. Jesus had such a HUGE fellowship or communion with the Holy Spirit!! The more time we spend with the Holy Spirit, the more sensitive we become in Him. The more we rely on His guidance and strength, the more we want to spend time with Him. 

Kathy and I are taking this time in the Lent season to press into a stronger commitment in making sure we are devoting ourselves everyday to the reading of the Word, prayer, meditation of His Word, worship, and being more open to the Holy Spirit. It is hard at times to make the time but we know that the investment will be great!!

The Lent season is a perfect opportunity to share our testimonies as we get closer to Easter. 

I will leave you with a quote from someone: "Communion with the Holy Spirit is the launching pad for a life of supernatural power and consistency."

I know I need that everyday in my life!!

God Bless!!
