By My Spirit (Part 2 of 4) | Andy Elmes | 14th May 2023

Pastor Andy continues the four part series By My Spirit. Last week he looked at being filled with the Holy Spirit – God’s plan to empower us with His presence, His ability and power. Andy speaks of God’s desire to be resident, reigning and ruling our lives. He speaks of the purposes the Holy Spirit lives inside us…to empower us, to transform us into the likeness of Christ, to comfort us in times where we need comfort, to help us and assist us, but also to daily lead us in successful paths and Godly ways.  

Andy refers to John 16:13-15, here we see Jesus saying that the Holy Spirit is coming to guide our lives, in all truth. Spirit-led is also evidence and demonstration of us now being God's children, (Romans 8: 9- 14). There really is only one type of Christian – that is Spirit filled!

We all have to make a decision – to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us or not…Psalm 23 indicates how God will shepherd our lives if we let Him. The Holy Spirit wants to cause our lives to be transformed, renewed, empowered and enlightened.  The key question that affects us all is are we ready for this and will we let Him?
