Do you ever find yourself wincing at your frequent failures in your walk with God? Are mountaintop victories sometimes followed by valleys of our own making? No life of faith is a straight climb toward perfection, but rather a winding journey of wandering and returning. But here’s the good news: God’s grace meets you every time you stumble, His Word continually calls you back, and His promises invite you to start anew. He knows that you long to be faithful, even when you falter. Take heart in that truth and remember that the only time you fail is when you refuse to get back up!
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit (1) is a person having mind, will and emotions and communicates spiritual knowledge, understanding and wisdom to a believer; (2) indwells a believer, teaches, guides, convicts a believer, witnesses and glorifies Jesus; (3) functions in inspiration, illumination, sealing, and baptism into the body of Christ; (4) distributes spiritual gifts to each believer and empowers each believer. Believers are commanded to be controlled by the Holy Spirit in order to live out the character and conduct of Jesus Christ.
