Msg #2126 Indwelt and Talking

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

A friend recently shared an intimate prayer practice that changed his Christian walk, work, and witness, and after I looked up each Bible reference and daily worded his prayer in my prayer closet I found similar blessings unfolding in my life. Genuine, born-again, Christians are indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit of God, but we don't make it a practice to talk to him nor address his presence and function in our lives.

“Lord I thank you for the Fellowship and Friendship of your Holy Spirit within me. May I be Filled, in excess, with your Spirit today, and emptied of pride, self, and selfishness. Lord make me a disciple that bears much Fruit of the Spirit, to have your love, joy, and peace, to show others longsuffering, gentleness, and goodness and to keep myself in faith, meekness, and temperance. Grant me liberty, that I may live, walk and breath in Freedom, without bondage to the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh nor the pride of life. Allow that out of my belly shall Flow rivers of living waters and that I may be wholly immersed in the Holy Ghost and His Fire. Lord, I live in perilous times with innumerable false teachers, may I stand and Fight with the sword of the Spirit to earnestly contend for the faith, but to never be contentious. Holy Spirit of God that indwells me, help me in this day. Amen.” (Php 2:1, John 15:15, Eph 5:18, John 15:8, Gal 5:22-23, 2Cor 3:17, John 7:38-39, Matt 3:11, Eph 6:16)

Christian when you wake up tomorrow morning, the Holy Ghost will be there with you. It wouldn't hurt to talk to him, and rehearse what you need from him. God bless your walk with him tomorrow.
