Supernatural Help

Let All That Has Breath Praise His Holy Name!


YOU HAVE A SUPERNATURAL HELP

Read: Ephesians 5:18, 20

Our supernatural help in worship is the Holy Spirit, that wonderful gift sent by our risen Lord to indwell us and empower us.  The Lord has not set before us the ideal of a life filled with praise and then left us alone to achieve it.  How could we, on our own reach such a high goal, with the down-pull of our old fleshly patterns of living; with the pain of our trials, large and small; with our tendency to depend on ourselves and get distracted from the Lord and do our own thing?

But we have the Holy Spirit!  Just think of what this means! He is within you as a fountain of water, springing up to fill you with fresh life - life that is eternal, life that is full. Through Him, time after time, you can know the aliveness that comes from the presence of the Lord.  Through the Spirit you can understand the Scriptures and experience the marvelous things God has freely given you in Christ.

Through Him you are linked in vital oneness with the Father and the Son, and have all you need for life and godliness.  You have all you need to inspire praise, comfort, encouragement, unspeakable joy, overflowing hope, strength in your innermost being, and power to love and serve.

SEED WORD:
You don't have to beg the Holy Spirit to fill you; He is eager to do so when we open our mouth and praise Him.  You don't have to earn His fullness, proving you are worthy of it.  You have only to let the Spirit fill you, consent to live under His grace, influence and control. That is how he performs His amazing ministries in you and inspires you to praise and worship Him.
