Pentecost

“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves...
    “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control...
    “Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”
(Galatians 5:16, 22-23, 25)
We have been filled with the Spirit of God - the very same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.  He is alive in you!  His intent is to make us witnesses for Jesus, that the world might know who He is and what He has done for them.  He also labors to make us more like Jesus, so we can demonstrate to the world what He is like.  Though we have been filled with the Spirit, we can be filled again.  If we are struggling in our witness; if we are noticing a lack of true Holy Spirit fruit, we can seek to be filled anew, just as the disciples did in Acts 4.  And He is faithful.
You can walk in joy and in love and in peace and all of those things.  The key is the Spirit.  Paul admonishes us, “let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”  We all need to step back at times and seek Him.  We need to renew our vows to Him, and to once again give Him everything - every part of our lives.  Give Him our futures and our ambitions and our money and our relationships and our sins and habits and addictions and hopes and all of it.  Lay it before Him.  Oh, the crazy fulfillment that comes with this!  The cross demonstrates that He has already given us His all.  He is faithful!
