When He Comes

GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF SIN

John 16:8-11 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

PERCEPTION // What I see/hear God saying/doing:
What I see You doing, Lord, is that You left Your Spirit with the purpose to reveal Jesus as the victorious Savior and Lord to the world. I hear You saying to me that the Holy Spirit in me needs to be the example and witness of Jesus to the world.

PLAN // What I am going to do about it:
I have Your Holy Spirit indwelling within me and what I plan to do about it is to share You with an unbelieving world through Your good works in me. I need to show the world an example of You, Jesus, through my lifestyle. I will ask You each morning for the next 30 days, to show me nonbelievers that I can talk to or reveal You.

PRAYER // Seal the deal:
Lord, help me to see where Your Holy Spirit is at work so that I can join You. I pray that a person that does not believe in You will come to know You as Lord and Savior.

  3. PERCEPTION // What I see/hear God saying/doing:
    I hear that Jesus is STRONG. He came to bring his love, but when he returns it will be with Power and Judgement. We can get caught up in the touchy feely Jesus. But we also need to be reminded of his other side. He will bring justice and conviction to the wicked.
    PLAN // What I am going to do about it.:
    I plan on seeking the real Jesus not cookie cuter version I have been taught.
    PRAYER // Seal the deal.:
    Jesus reveal your true self to me. In my alone time let me listen for the true voice of God.

  5. PERCEPTION // What I see/hear God saying/doing:
    I hear that the gift and presence of the Holy Spirit is a wonderful and valuable thing. He will tell us what's wrong, what's right, and give us the same spirit of authority that the son of God has!
    PLAN // What I am going to do about it.:
    even I can grow weary; I shall wait on the Lord for renewed strength. Not just barreling ahead in my plans, but seeking the Father first and continually.
    PRAYER // Seal the deal.:
    Father I confess that I do not understand and have probably undermined the power of the Holy Spirit many times in my life. I am always afraid to act when I do not understand. Please teach me more about the communion of our spirits together, yours and mine, yours in me. Take not thy holy spirit from me, restore to me the joy of my salvation and renew a RIGHT spirit within me.
