Picture this. Your garage hasn't been cleaned in years. It's packed end to end with rakes, shovels, tools, paint cans, a lawnmower and everything except the car you're supposed to park there.
You've decided today's the day—you're finally going to do something about it. But cleaning up is such a big, overwhelming job you don't even know where to start.
What if you had a helper?
Someone who would jump into the mess with you, help you haul out the junk and organize all the tools?
Suddenly the job wouldn't look so hard. In fact, you might even have fun doing it.
When life comes along with its overwhelming tasks or unexpected circumstances, you really do have a helper. It's Holy Spirit.
As a believer, Holy Spirit is God's presence living within you. He's your advantage in every situation!
When you don't know what to do, He's teaching you everything you need to know and leading you into all truth (John 14:26 and 16:13).
He empowers you to walk in all God's promises and experience blessings of joy, wisdom and peace.
As you grow in your relationship with Him and listen to His leading, He'll even guide you to reach out to someone else who needs an encouraging word. Or He could prompt you to take a different route to work and avoid an accident you weren't aware of.
What's in front of you may look too big to conquer alone. It may be a lot more than a messy garage—a fractured marriage, a sudden diagnosis or a huge obstacle between you and a dream...
...But Holy Spirit's presence within you means you're never alone! And His power is there, ready for you to tap into.
One great way to get to know Holy Spirit better is by speaking God's Word out loud over your life.
When you find verses about who Holy Spirit is and meditate on how He wants to work with you in your daily life... you'll begin to follow that picture in your mind.
You'll see yourself walking in love and wisdom to start healing that relationship. You'll imagine yourself rising up with supernatural health and strength. With Holy Spirit, you can conquer anything that comes your way!
So where do you start? To help you find verses on Holy Spirit and begin claiming those promises, we want to share something called Walk in the Word. It's a monthly collection of personalized declarations based on different verses.
Click here to download the PDF. Then you can print it out, hang it on the fridge or stick it in your Bible... someplace you'll see it often and be reminded to continually speak the Word!
As you do, ask Holy Spirit to help you meditate on it. He wants to help you plant the Word deep in your heart, where it'll start to put out fruit (or results) in your life.
Every day, you can declare Romans 15:13 and say, "As I trust God, He fills me with joy and peace. I overflow with confident hope through the power of Holy Spirit!"
P.S. If you'd like to get one of these collections every month, you can sign up for our emails. At the beginning of each month, we'll send you great resources to build your faith, including Walk in the Word. Click here to sign up!
