My Helper–The Holy Spirit
Text: Acts 1:6-8
Scripture Reading: Psalm 121:2-8 “My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.5 The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand.6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.8 The Lord shall preserveyour going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.”
#1–My Helper wants to “transform me.”
Galatians 5:1–“set free” with “liberty.”
Galatians 5:19-21–works of our flesh.
#2–My Helper gives me power.
Acts 1:6-8–power=force of energy; authority; strength; and great ability.
John 1:1–The Word has existed from the beginning (Genesis 1:1)
John 1:14–Jesus is the Word.
#3–My Helper wants to give me boldness.
Acts 4:31–boldness–the opposite of cowardice, timidity, or fear. Also means that we have freedom to speak out on behalf of God.
My prayer for you: That you will experience the transformation of the Holy Spirit to live godly lives and succumb to the “works of the flesh.” That you will use the power of the Holy Spirit to be witnesses, in your living and in your conversations. And that the boldness of the Holy Spirit is help you to speak out on behalf of God wherever you find yourself in the coming week.
In Pursuit!
