A friend recently sent me Barker Road Methodist Church's 7-day prayer guide for this week (leading up to Pentecost Sunday today). The following is from the reading for today.
Sunday, May 23
Like the early church that waited in the upper room, we need to wait upon the Lord for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit over our lives. It is with this that we can go forth in power to set the captives free. But are we willing to let the King of glory come into our lives, fully and unreservedly, to fill us?
We need to nail our will on the Cross and open our hearts to all that God has for us in this life. We will experience His transforming love and power, as we are open to His prompting and direction in our lives.
As we spend time with the Lord and depend on the Holy Spirit everyday, God can use us to touch others around us. A stream of living waters that flows from us to others, touching lives, changing hearts.
Arise and shine, let us rise up from every area of darkness and walk in freedom into light (Isaiah 60:1-3). Let this be a year of breakthrough into a dynamic relationship with our God, not based on head knowledge or habit, but in spirit and in truth!
