Let my spirit fill you.
1 Corinthians 3:16
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
God longs to fill us with His Spirit. It is a gift He gives us by faith in His holy Son as our Lord and Savior. It is a gift that began before the beginning of time, came to earth in a miraculous manager birth, and manifested in our lives through the cross of Christ, bringing about the fulfillment of the Scriptures and giving us access to eternal life.
The gift of God’s spirit dwelling within us is where our life really begins.
Reflection Questions
Is the gift of the Holy Spirit one you’ve already opened? If not, take a minute to consider what this might look like here.
Do you feel the dwelling of the Holy Spirit? Why or not?
What could be blocking the presence of Spirit working in your life? Think sin. Then repent.
What would it look like for the Spirit of God to lead you through this Christmas chaos?
Is the gift of the Spirit one you’d like to share throughout this Christmas season?
Take a few sacred minutes to listen to this remarkable song from Casting Crowns and let it become your prayer for the Spirit Wind to fill your life…
