Fuel For Living

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries 

Zechariah 4:6 "'...Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty."

The Holy Spirit is God’s fuel for living. He leads, convicts, comforts and gives courage.The Spirit of God wants you to grow in His awareness and follow His lead. You cannot accomplish His best without the leadership and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit led Jesus to the wilderness to be tempted by Satan, but the Word of God became Christ’s defense. He deflected the darts of the devil with the truth of God. It was an exercise of faith and obedience that drew Him closer to His heavenly Father. Instead of driving Him from God, it drew Him to God. The Holy Spirit’s goal is to get us to God.

Submission to God revives the Spirit of God. Come under the authority of God and you have a source of strength that is limitless and energizing. God’s Spirit also produces fruit and creates character. This is another benefit of Spirit led living. It is not about techniques and tactics. It is first and foremost about the character of Christ transforming your life.
