21 DAYS WITH HOLY SPIRIT by Jennifer LeClaire - DAY 1
Shabbat Shalom Beloved Brothers and Sisters. I thought that incorporating this "21 DAYS WITH HOLY SPIRIT", with our 21 Day of fasting, will be very powerful. The reason being is that before Jesus' Departure back to sit at the Right Hand of The Most High God, {God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, the God of the Creator of the Heavens and the earth and everything in it}, "Jesus Promises His followers the Holy Spirit" in John 14:15-31. I thought it would be fitting for us to have an understanding of what the Holy Spirit represents in our lives as believers.
It is written, 15 "If you love Me" {Yeshua/Jesus/Isa}, "keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-- 17" the Spirit of truth.". MY GOD!
An advocate is a noun, it is a person supporting an idea or cause publicly. Other words for advocate are: a backer, a defender, a lawyer, a promoter, a supporter, an attorney, a champion, a counsellor, a speaker, et cetera. This is what the Holy Spirit represents in a believer's life. If Jesus is saying He will "ask the Father, and He will give us another advocate", then He too was all these things to us when He was with us on this earth.
I believe, that even though He is seated in Heavenly places, He is still these things to us and more, because the Bible says He is "the same yesterday, today, and forever" Hebrews 13:8. Moving forward!
"The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him" {because sin and the world has blinded them. This is why God loves you so much, including the lost, showing that He wants you back, that He gave His one and only Son to die for you as a ransom John 3:16, Matthew 20:28}. Then it goes on to say
"But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans" {OMG! This is a silent indication that Jesus was God in the flesh while He was on the earth with us. He said, "He will not leave us as orphans". We all know that an orphan is somebody that has no father}; and He goes on to say
"I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live" {a thank You Jesus moment. WOW! This is so powerful!!!}. 20 "On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you". This is confirmation that we are one with God as believers {a Hallelujah!, Praise God, and a thank You Jesus moment!}.
21 "Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them" {this is the reason why a lot of people can't see Jesus as we see Him because they do not love Him like we do}.
I pray, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, will guide you all, and will reveal all truths to you on the rest of your journey, in Jesus' Mighty Name. God bless you! Amen!!! pflb © 1/9/21
21 DAYS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
A 2021 Devotional by Jennifer LeClaire
Jesus realized that, without the Holy
Spirit, His followers—including us—would not be able to fulfill God’s call on
their lives.
So He sent the Holy Spirit to be our
Helper, Teacher, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby,
Revealer of truth and the One who empowers us.
He does so much for us!
Developing a relationship with the Holy
Spirit is crucial for those who desire to discover and fulfill God’s will for
their lives.
Yet the truth is that many Christians are
on fire for God and love Jesus with all their hearts, minds, souls and strength,
but they remain less familiar with the Holy Spirit.
Some long to fellowship with the Spirit of
God and hear His still, small voice but don’t know how or don’t believe they
can. The following is a 21-day devotional
guide to start you on a journey to knowing the Holy Spirit more intimately.
Each devotional contains prophetic words
the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart day to day as I spent time with Him.
I pray that they also speak to your heart,
stir your faith and cause you to press in to hear the Spirit of God for
yourself.
DAY 1
DETERMINE TO FOLLOW YOUR DESIRES
Determine to follow your desires, for I {Holy
Spirit} have placed those desires in your heart as you have delighted yourself
in Father. As you continue to SEEK FIRST
THE KINGDOM AND OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, I Will direct your steps on a lighted path
that will take you where We both {Jesus and Holy Spirit} want you to go.
Apart from Christ you can do nothing, but
you are not apart from Christ. You are
in Christ and Christ is in you. If you
determine to reach His high calling {your purpose} for you and lean and depend
on Me {Holy Spirit} to guide you, nothing shall by any means stop you.
SCRIPTURES:
Psalm 37:4:
Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He
shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And
lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He
shall direct your paths
PRAYER: Almighty God, in Jesus' Name, I take authority, and by the Power of the Holy Spirit, I thank you for your faithfulness to the dreams You have put in my heat. Give me a determined heart that will not turn to the right or to the left. Help me to stay focused on Your perfect will for me this day and every day, in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen!!!
