Let the Holy Spirit Take You from 'Doing' to 'Being'
I remember when I was a born-again Christian who was actively involved
in church life, but I was not getting victory over my problems. I
thought that if I acted like a Christian and looked like I had my act
together, I would be happy. But doing the right thing wasn't enough. I
needed a change on the inside.
Acts 1:8 speaks of receiving God's power to be His witnesses. Notice it
does not say to do witnessing but to be witnesses. Doing is a different
thing than being. I had my outside polished up, but my inner life was a
wreck. Quite often the inner turmoil exploded, and then everybody could
see I wasn't quite what I appeared to be.
Thankfully, I came to the point where I was desperate for a move of God
in my life and knew there had to be more than what I had experienced in
my relationship with Him. As I cried out to Him in prayer for help, He
touched my life in a powerful way, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
gave me a real love for God and His Word and like never before. Now I
was no longer faking it.
I encourage you to receive this same Holy Spirit power. Let Him take you from 'doing' to 'being.'.
Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, give me Your power so that I can go from
'doing' to 'being.'. I want to love and follow You from the core of who I
am.
