As a believer, you have the power of the Holy Spirit inside you. But that power won't go to work until you put it to work! The Holy Spirit won't just muscle in on you. He won't come in and turn down the television set and jerk you up off the couch and say, "Now you listen to me." No, He's a gentleman. He's sent to help you to do the will of God, to strengthen you, to counsel you...but He won't do a thing until He's asked. That's why the book of James says if you're in trouble or afflicted, pray. It's prayer that puts the power within you to work.
The Holy Spirit has some things He wants to show you--things you've been trying to figure out on your own. He's waiting there with the power to overcome every obstacle in your life. Take time to pray. Pray in the Spirit. Pray with understanding. Pray and activate the power that work within you today.
READ: Ephesians 3:16-21
