THE SPIRIT

1 SAMUEL 10:6 (CEB)
Then the Lord’s spirit will come over you, and you will be caught up in a prophetic frenzy right along with them; it will be like you’ve become a completely different person.

ROMANS 8:16 (CEB)
The same Spirit agrees with our spirit, that we are God’s children.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
The Holy Spirit works within us to change us so that we are living in harmony with him.  

DAILY FODDER
How would you describe your experience with the Holy Spirit?

PRAYER
I'm grateful, Spirit of God, that you are active in my life. I'm not exactly the easiest person to work with but I am looking to you for the changes that need to be made. I'm anticipating that through your tutelage I will continue to grow into my role as a child of yours. Amen. 

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
     we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
     so that everything that happens here will align
     with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
