Where God Left Us—With the Spirit
We live in a time where distractions are everywhere—spiritual hype, emotional highs, and a never-ending pressure to perform. But if we’re honest, hype doesn’t change hearts. Emotion doesn’t build endurance. And performance doesn’t break chains.
The Holy Spirit does.
The power to overcome sin, to walk in boldness, to love without limits… it doesn’t come from our own strength. It comes from the Spirit of the Living God.
➡️ God created us.
➡️ Jesus redeemed us.
➡️ The Holy Spirit empowers us.
This is the divine order. God the Father formed us with purpose. Jesus the Son redeemed us through the cross. And the Holy Spirit was sent to empower us—to dwell within us as our Helper, our Guide, and our source of power.
Too often, believers stop short.
We acknowledge God. We believe in Jesus.
But we neglect the Spirit.
Or worse—we don’t even know we’ve been neglecting Him.
The Spirit Is Not Optional
The Holy Spirit isn’t a bonus or an accessory to our faith. He is essential.
Without Him, we lack the discernment to see clearly, the power to stand firmly, and the boldness to live courageously.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…”
— Acts 1:8a, ESV
This power isn’t just for preaching or ministry. It’s for parenting. It’s for battling temptation. It’s for walking through grief, forgiving your enemies, and worshiping when life doesn’t make sense.
Without the Spirit, we rely on human willpower and shallow strategies.
With the Spirit, we walk in supernatural strength and unshakable peace.
Find Your Focus
If you’re feeling tired, distracted, or spiritually numb—it might be time to re-center.
Not on your goals. Not even on your calling.
But on the Spirit of the Living God.
He is the One Jesus left with us on purpose.
Not to be admired—but to be obeyed.
Not to be referenced—but to be relied on.
Not to be invited in once—but to be surrendered to daily.
