Spirit of Holiness 8-18-08

Good morning, Lord Jesus. O Lord my God, in awesome wonder, I worship You. How great You are, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ... "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which He promised beforehand through His prophets in His holy scriptures, the gospel concerning His Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh, and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of His name, including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ" (Romans 1:1-6). The Spirit of Holiness reveals Your truth and displays Your power. The Spirit of Holiness forms the hearts of Your servants into the heart of our Father, transforms the minds of Your people into the mind of Christ, and conforms the will all who are called to belong to Jesus Christ into the will of God. Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Spirit of Holiness. Burn within us. Set us apart and send us forth every day to give and to live the gospel of God our Father concerning His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. At work, in school, on the road, with every conversation and every encounter, teach us and empower us to walk in the obedience of faith, so that faith in You is attractive to all who see it in us. You are holy and You have called us to be holy in You. "Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. Instead, as He who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct, for it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy' " (1 Peter 1:14-16). We can't do that by our flesh, but by faith in Your power of resurrection life through Your Spirit of Holiness living in us. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
