Welcome to the Quality Christian Living Podcast.
I am your host David Friend. As you may know,
we are continuing a series today dealing with
the Holy Spirit, and today's topic is Holy Spirit
-led prayers. Now, this could be one of the more
important messages, teachings, if you will, or
whatever it might be, or whatever you want to
call it, of how we can get the Holy Spirit to
help us have stronger, greater prayers. So I
just pray that you will receive this. We're going
to talk about how we can be led by the Spirit
to pray, and are Holy Spirit -led prayers greater
than our prayers. Does the Holy Spirit decide
who he helps and who he will not help to pray?
I think some people feel that way, but that's
just something we need to discuss. How do I know
my prayers are led by the Holy Spirit? Well,
let's get started by asking the Holy Spirit to
guide and direct us. Heavenly Father, I thank
you for who you are. I pray now the Holy Spirit
would guide and direct us through this podcast.
Help those who are listening in to receive exactly
what you have in store for them. I pray, Lord,
that they're trying to receive a touch from the
Holy Spirit for strong prayer life that you would
bring that upon them and father these scriptures
I use and the comments you've given me I pray
that they would bless individuals to have stronger
prayers and more powerful more effective fervent
prayers I thank you for it in advance and I believe
you're going to do a great work today and I'll
give you praise in advance for it and I ask these
things in Jesus name I pray amen well you know
in my introduction today I listed four significant
questions on the Holy Spirit leading our prayer
life and so let's just take them one at a time
I think this is might be the way to best way
to cover this one. First, how can we be led by
the Holy Spirit to pray? Well, a lot to be said
there, but let me just share a few thoughts about
that. We need to surrender to the Holy Spirit
in everything that we do. It's not our will,
but God's will. It's not how we want to pray.
It's how the Holy Spirit wants us to pray, and
we can surrender to Him before we take on any
type of prayer activity. I like to start the
day off with, Holy Spirit, will you guide me,
guide my thoughts and my actions? And when I'm
in the garage and driving out of my garage, I
ask the Holy Spirit to guide the direction that
I drive and my conversations and if you just
do that and I'm not saying I have all the answers
I'm just saying that we need to start off the
day seeking for help from the Holy Spirit and
asking him to help us in our life in our prayer
times and the actions that we take the key word
is surrender in this the word surrender is in
reference to the Holy Spirit we need to ask his
will and not ours you know sometimes we pray
and we got a predetermined idea of how we should
pray and what we should pray and what the results
will be in that prayer. Sometimes it's good,
sometimes it's not very good, but if we surrender
to the Holy Spirit and ask for His leading, His
guidance, His direction, our prayers will be
consistently strong, they'll be focused, they'll
be led by the Spirit of God, and we're going
to see greater results in our prayer life. So
the word surrender is really very powerful in
surrendering our will to the Holy Spirit's will.
We should ask the Spirit what we must pray. Now
sometimes when I take off in prayer I have a
list of people pray for but before we get into
that I like the Holy Spirit to guide and direct
my prayer. It could be that there's people that
are on that list that it's time for me to then
ease up and maybe not continue to pray for them
or there's new people he wants to put on or he
wants to just basically have me add new people
and pray for all the other ones that are there.
Now let me give you an example and please forgive
the personal reference but just it's something
that works for me. I have a list of prayer requests
every single day when I start to pray in the
morning and don't get me wrong I don't get up
and pray for three or four hours I probably should,
but I don't pray for that long. I get up and
I look at my list and I ask the Holy Spirit to
help me in my prayer time. The list includes
a number of nurses that have ministered to me
and helped me and taken care of me over at the
Mayo Clinic during the battles I've had, the
cancer battles and the spinal problems I've had
and how God has healed me on every single one
of them. So I want to give God praise for that,
but I also want to lift up the names of those
individuals who are doing a great service for
our city, for our community, and I just want
to lift up and pray for them. So every day I
speak their names out and pray for God to intervene
and help them. It's just something that wrote
up on my heart. Now, how long do I pray for that?
I don't know. I may continue to pray for another
year, for two years or three years, or maybe
a month. I don't know. I want the Holy Spirit
to let me know when it's time for me to slow
down or bring other people into the prayer group
or just basically cease from praying for that
group of people. So I won't stop until I truly
believe in my heart and my mind, my spirit, that
it's time to either stop or change the way I
pray for them. In addition to that, there's a
number of people in our church who have physical
problems. So then the Lord has directed me, I
believe, to ask for the divine healing touch
of the Lord Jesus Christ to heal these individuals.
I like to say their names. I like to mention
that what they're going through, the battle they're
going through, and the Lord's just kept those
on my heart. And then there's a list of people
that in our church, our friends, and it's just
a whole bunch of people that God puts upon my
heart. I don't pray for them all every single
morning, but I pray for most of them every single
morning. And then if I haven't completed them
all, then in the evening before I go to bed,
I like to spend a little more time lifting up
those individuals that the Lord has put up on
my heart, but I can't even go to bed or can't
go to sleep unless I... I lift up those individuals
to the Lord and ask the Holy Spirit to help them,
bless them, answer their prayers and their needs,
and then guide me in my prayers. We need to ask
the Holy Spirit to direct our thoughts during
our prayer time. We can't let our mind drift
when we are praying and seeking God to do something
special in our life or someone else's life. If
we're allowing our mind to start thinking about
things that we need to do that day, we need to
get that stuff out of our mind and ask Him to
direct our prayer times. Ask Him to to pray,
even pray for us. I think that's just incredible
because that's why we have the gift of the baptism
of the Holy Spirit because then we can start
praying in the Spirit. And when we pray in the
Spirit, we are praying the divine will of God
and the Holy Spirit is praying for us. So I've
gone into all of those issues about the baptism
and on prior podcasts. So I'm not gonna take
the time now to go there because I just wanted
to focus on this particular question right now.
How can we be led by the Spirit to pray? I hope
that's helpful to you. Let's go to the second.
question now, and see how we deal with this one.
Are the Holy Spirit's lead prayers greater than
ours? Well, you might want to ask the question,
is He greater than us? Well, He lives in us and
He certainly is the Spirit of God, so He obviously
is more powerful than us, has greater prayers
than we have, and yes, they are stronger than
or greater than ours, but He can bring our prayers
into a level that comes up to His prayer level,
because Jesus said that greater works we will
do. Jesus said that when the Spirit comes, He'll
comfort us. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit is
there, our advocate, and will bless us and guide
us and direct us. And we can then receive the
power of the Holy Spirit's prayers in our prayer
life, and so it will increase the strength and
the greater results of our prayers. Now, let's
always remember that the Holy Spirit has the
gift of greater prayers, and He can give that
gift out. He can give us that gift if we ask
for Him and seek for it. Now, He's the final
say on it, that He's the one that decides who
gets the nine power gifts, and one of them is
faith. greater faith and He's the one that can
give us greater prayers. The gift of faith is
listed with the eight other power gifts of the
Holy Spirit. Let me read a couple of scriptures
that will help us stay on track in this question
about can the Holy Spirit's prayers be greater
than ours and basically can He give us the gift
of prayer, the gift of faith. 1 Corinthians chapter
12 verse 4 in the New International Version says
this, there are different kinds of gifts but
the same Spirit distributes them all. I'm just
saying this so we keep in proper context what
I'm talking about here in prayer and the gifts
of the Spirit. 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse
9 the New International Version says to another
faith he gives that gift by the same spirit so
I could go down all and read them now but I don't
want to take the time to do that because I've
done it several times in these podcasts but one
of the gifts of the Spirit is faith and faith
is the difference between having greater prayers
are ineffective prayers that the prayers of a
righteous man are led of God And we want to have
strong prayers, greater prayers, and prayers
that can be increased by the power of the Holy
Spirit working in our life. The gift of faith
is listed, remember, in all the power gifts.
But it's one of the most important ones, I believe,
because without faith, there's not a whole lot
we will accomplish in our prayer life. Matter
of fact, there's nothing we'll accomplish in
our prayer life without faith. Therefore, the
Holy Spirit gives us the gift of greater faith.
So never forget that the gift comes from the
Holy Spirit. That's why it's so important to
understand the Holy Spirit -led prayers because
the gift of faith is absolutely crucial to have
successful effective prayers and that gift comes
from the Holy Spirit and that's when we receive
faith for a purpose and that is when our prayers
become equivalent or equal to the prayers that
the Holy Spirit has. I'm not saying we become
on His level. I'm just saying that we can increase
our prayers based upon the gifts that He gives
us. Our gift of faith to pray is God's Spirit
to pray. Remember, it's God's Spirit who dwells
inside of us. The Holy Spirit is. God's Spirit
and we have that operating in us on a daily basis.
Just stop for a second and think about that.
I mean that is just overwhelming to think about
it and we've got to remember to call upon the
Holy Spirit. Why would we want to spend our time
praying all these big long lists and whatever
without asking for the Holy Spirit's guidance
and direction? That's the Spirit of God living
and dwelling inside of us. We need to call upon
Him. We need to ask for His direction. We need
to know how we should pray, what we should pray,
when we should pray, who we should pray for.
and when it's time to move on to other people
because we can do that. You know, I've had some
people I have prayed for and I'm not boasting.
Please forgive me if you think I am. I'm not
boasting. I have had people that I have prayed
for sometimes as long as 20 years or more. Just
simply every day I have to lift them up and I'm
saying to the Lord, is it time now to move on?
I had one particular person I was praying for.
He gave me a very difficult time in business
and I'll never forget that. It was just extremely
difficult. He was a Christian guy but he just
gave me terrible time building him a home and
so when the home was finished we got it completed
we we parted his friends everything was fine
but then the Holy Spirit told me keep praying
for him I won't give you his name, but bottom
line, I said, Lord, would you bless, and I would
say his name and help him and bless his family.
And I thank you for him, Father. And I would
just say something very simple like that. But
that went on for over 20 years, take the list
or not. And bottom line, it was no, not yet.
Well, I can remember the years went by. One night,
my wife and I went to a banquet where they were
raising funds for a charity in our community.
And we're sitting here through the whole banquet.
It was like a two -hour meeting, maybe longer.
the meeting I pushed my chair back and when I
did my chair banged into somebody who was sitting
behind me into their chair and I turned on said
oh I'm sorry I turned on and there he was that's
the man I had been praying for for over 20 years
and I thought oh my Lord this is kind of awkward
and I said hey how are you doing and he looked
at me he says here just second come here and
he grabbed my arm and he walked and he asked
attention to the people at his table there's
probably eight or ten people there and he looked
he says I just want you guys to know you know
the home that we live in most of you have been
there I just want to let you know This is the
man that built that home and we have loved our
home We have been blessed by our home And I just
want you to know if you need to have a good home
built then go to this man because he's a good
home builder now think of that think of that
it was that the Lord getting that prepared and
for that time had to be and for this man to be
that strong and that powerful and in that much
kindness to me was just simply a result of the
Lord keeping him on my heart and we chatted a
little bit and he says things are good he says
I've gone through a lot of difficult times physically
and I thought There we go. That's why the Holy
Spirit is still having me pray for him. So I
just thought I'd give you that story. It's a
very powerful story on being led by the Holy
Spirit and also in knowing that the Holy Spirit
has great things in store for our prayers and
he wants to increase our prayers. to be greater
than they are today. Okay, here's the third point
I made in my introduction. Does the Holy Spirit
decide who helps and who He does not help? Well,
this question is kind of interesting. It has
two parts. Part one is, I think, found in 1 Corinthians
chapter 12 verse 11 in the New International
Version. It refers to the nine gifts of the Spirit.
Verse 11, all these are the work of one and the
same Spirit, and He distributes them to each
just as He determines. Well, the Holy Spirit
determines who he blesses and helps in their
prayers, and he also can determine who he's going
to hold off on until they're either ready or
prepared or praying in the right direction. And
we'll talk about that in a little bit. What's
the right thing to pray for and the right way
to pray. Verse 11 tells us the Holy Spirit has
final say over who gets the individual prayer
power gifts and who does not. Who gets the gifts
of faith, who gets the gifts of healing and all
the other power gifts of miracles and... Oh,
wisdom and knowledge and discerning of spirits
and just all the wonderful power gifts, the Holy
Spirit makes that decision, so therefore that's
why we need to invite Him into our prayer time.
He's the one that has the decision -maker, is
the decision -maker. Now part two of that question
on if the Holy Spirit helps some and doesn't
help others is answered, I believe, in Hebrews
chapter 13 verse 5 in the New International Version.
Listen to this. God has said, never will I leave
you or forsake you. Well, that to me answers
the question that God God is telling us He will
not forsake us. He's not going to hold back blessings
from us as long as we are operating in His will
and living a godly life, a righteous life, a
holy life, not a perfect life, because we can't
do that. The only one that ever walked this earth
perfect was Jesus Christ. And so we can't live
a perfect life, but we can live a good life,
a godly life, a righteous life, a life that is
surrendered to God and to His will. And when
we do that, when we do that, God doesn't pick
and choose who He'll bless and who He won't.
He's not going to say, well, okay. I'm going
to bless you today, but not you today, because
you're both good people and all that good stuff,
but I just kind of feel like I only want to bless
you. That isn't how God works. It says, God has
said, never, he says the word, never will I leave
you or forsake you. God does not forsake us in
our times of prayer. If we have a difficult time
getting through to the Holy Spirit, or feel like
our prayers are not being heard, it has something
to do with us, nothing to do with him. The Bible
says that if you want to get close to God, then
you need to draw to him and then when you do
that he'll draw near to you. He doesn't say he'll
think about drawing near to you, no he says I
will draw near to you. God always hears our prayers
and he's always ready to listen to them. So let's
make sure we understand that the Holy Spirit
helps everyone equally and how our prayers get
answered has a great impact on how we're living
our life and what our prayer is about. So I'm
going to address that a little bit in just a
moment about what we should pray and what we
shouldn't. Okay the fourth question is this,
how do I know my prayers are led by the Holy
Spirit. Now that's really important. A lot of
people say, I don't know how to pray. Well, that's
when I tell them, have you received the baptism
of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking
in your heavenly language? And if they haven't,
I want to pray with them and will pray with them
to receive the baptism, the infilling of the
Holy Spirit with the evidence of having their
prayer language that's different than tongues
and interpretation in the nine power gifts. This
is simply the Holy Spirit moving into our life
and changing our prayer life. And then he prays
according to the divine will of God when he's
praying through us. And so how do I know if my
prayers are led by the Spirit? Then start off
maybe by praying in the Spirit and asking him
to lead you into your English or Spanish or whatever
your language is as you go through your prayer
time. There are a number of ways that we'll know
that our prayers are led by the Holy Spirit.
Here's a few. Let me just give you a couple of
points I think that are helpful. Our prayers
are in agreement with God's Word. Then we know
that he's hearing our prayers and that they're
being led by the Holy Spirit if they're in agreement
with God's Word as the example. We cannot pray
something like, God, give me revenge over that
person. That is not according to God's Word.
We can't pray, God, give me money so I can go
and gamble it away to make more money. I mean,
those are things I've actually had people come
to me and say, Pastor, would you pray for me
that when I go to the casino today that God will
bless me and so I can gain the finances I need
to get out of trouble. That is not a prayer that's
acceptable to God because you're trying to use
the the world system to receive a blessing from
God, and that just doesn't work. So our prayers
must be in agreement with God's word in order
for our prayers to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Number two, when we have peace, we know the Holy
Spirit led our prayers. You know, if you're struggling
in your prayer time and you're struggling over
what you're praying for and how you're praying
for things and how long you should pray, those
types of things, it's good to just stop. Bible
says, be still and know that I'm God. Sometimes
we need to just stop as we're going through all
these things and just ask the Lord help me guide
me Holy Spirit lead my prayer time take me in
the direction that I should go and when we pray
that A peace of God will come over our heart.
Remember, it's so important that we have the
peace of God that guides our hearts and guides
our mind and protects us in our thought process
and protects our direction that we're going in
our prayer life. So we've got to understand that
when we have peace during our prayer time, that
we know that we bring lead of God. Now, I'm not
saying if we're lazy, because the difference
between lazy and peace, it's a huge difference
between them. Lazy is things that are people
that don't accomplish much. lazy person kind
of gives up a lot, but a person who's at peace
will move on to do things even though on the
outside it doesn't look like it's gonna work.
Let me give an example. There are two great scriptures
that kind of give an example of when you know
you're praying in the right direction. The first
one is in Proverbs 3 .5 where it says, trust
in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on
your own understanding and all your ways acknowledge
him and he will direct your paths. Now, that
means don't lean on your own understanding. If
we're leaning on our own understanding, we can
sometimes never receive the peace that we need
to know. that our prayers are being led by the
Holy Spirit. Another scripture that is so powerful
to me, and I've used it many, many times, is
Philippians chapter four, verse six, to be anxious
for nothing but everything through prayer, petitions
with thanksgiving. Let your requests be made
known to God. And the peace of God that passes
all understanding will guard our hearts and guard
our minds in Christ Jesus. Now, those two scriptures
tell us how to have peace, tell us that don't
lean on our own understanding. And then the other
one says to not to be anxious, but to continue
to press into God. And when you pray and thank
Thank God during your prayer time, then you will
receive the peace of God that passes all understanding
and will guard our heart and will guard our mind
in Christ Jesus and we will know that the Holy
Spirit is leading our prayer time. Here number
three, we simply need to yield to the Holy Spirit
to direct our prayers. Now, I've covered that
a little bit earlier, but that's so important.
You know, you've probably heard me say this before,
but I don't ever like to start a podcast without
stopping and inviting the Holy Spirit in to take
control and run this prayer. meeting and help
me in my prayer times and help me in this podcast
and help me when I'm praying around the table.
Those are things that just has become a part,
I think, of my life because God has placed it
there. Once again, forgive the personal reference,
but this is what works for me. And when something
works for me, I want to share that with other
people. If we want to be led by the Spirit of
God, then we've got to yield to the Holy Spirit.
I know that when we do these podcasts, I always
start off in the middle of it and thank God for
the podcast and thank Him for what He's done.
But now, Holy Spirit take over, take control,
I submit to you, I yield to you. When we do that,
I'm telling you, you get the attention of the
Lord, you get the attention of the Holy Spirit
who dwells inside of us, and He's going to direct
our prayers. I believe that because so many times
when I say that, there'll be a time during the
prayer meeting where I'll change direction, or
a time during the podcast where I'll change direction,
and I know it's the Holy Spirit guiding and directing
where He wants us to go. Number four, our prayers
are based on the truth in our circumstances.
means that you can't be praying and covering
up a truth. God certainly knows our ways. He
knows our hearts. He knows what we're thinking.
He knows what we're going to say before we say
it. But bottom line, we cannot try to hide from
the truth in our prayer time. John 16 and verse
13 says, the Spirit leads us into all truth.
Prayers will be led by the Spirit of God when
they are prayers that are truthful, prayers that
reveal the truth. If someone's offended you or
you're having a conflict with someone, make sure
you admit where you've gone wrong or the areas
that you've gone wrong, or if you don't feel
you've gone wrong, then ask God to help you and
reveal to you what you said wrong or did wrong
to help you so that then we're operating in truth
when we go to the Holy Spirit and ask for Him
to lead our prayer time. All right, Zechariah
4 .6 says this in the New International Version.
It's not by might nor by power, but by my spirit,
says the Lord. This verse, I believe, tells us
that and kind of summarizes everything that I'm
talking about today. It tells us that God's work
can be successful because God is doing it and
not us. It's not our own strength. It's not by
what we know or what we think we know. It's by
His Spirit that truly gets great results in our
times of prayer. The Holy Spirit has power and
He wants to share that power with us. Holy Spirit
-led prayers take us from natural to supernatural
prayers. You know, I hope that this podcast has
been a blessing to you. I've certainly enjoyed
doing this. And I want to close with just a couple
of comments I think that really kind of helps
us solidify what we're getting into today. The
Holy Spirit leads us to pray if we submit to
Him and surrender to Him. The Holy Spirit takes
our prayer deeper and deeper than we've ever
thought possible. The Holy Spirit wants to guide
us. He wants to direct us. He wants to lead our
prayers. Does the Holy Spirit help us? Yes, He
does. Does He? Think of one person as being more
important than another. No, he does not. And
it's important that we understand that we can
be led by the Holy Spirit to pray as long as
we put him first, as long as what we're praying
is truthful, and as long as what we pray about
will glorify God and give him thanks. And that
the Holy Spirit -led prayers are so great and
so powerful that why would we not want to be
led by the Spirit of God to have prayer? So with
that, I'm going to close by praying for you.
And I believe that God wants to touch you and
help you. For those of you who are maybe struggling
with your prayer life or you're struggling, wondering
whether your prayers are being led by the Spirit
or being led by the flesh, let me just pray for
you right now and ask the Holy Spirit to help
you. Heavenly Father, for those who are listening
in and maybe are challenged with some of the
things I just mentioned, Father, I pray that
you would bless them. I pray that they would
be faithful to prayer. They would pray without
ceasing. That doesn't mean 24 -7. It simply means
they'll pray continually in their heart and their
mind as they go through the day and give praise
to the Lord and ask for guidance and pray for
other people and just simply make it a way of
life to let prayer just flow through us. That
will increase our faith and then to invite the
Holy Spirit to lead us and direct us in our prayer
time. For those people who have not received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence
of praying in their heavenly language, I pray,
Lord, that the Holy Spirit would then bring that
forth in them so they could have prayers that
can go on and on. Lord, that they'll be able
to pray for an hour and it seemed like two minutes.
Lord, just bless them and help them in their
prayer life, I pray. I thank you, Lord, for their
desire to learn from you. from your word and
I pray that you bless each and every one of his
father to have stronger prayers that will be
more faithful to prayer will be more faithful
to lead as the Holy Spirit to lead us and direct
us that we will invite him in to do things his
way and not our way that will we surrender ourselves
to him and that he will be glorified and all
that takes place I believe great things are going
to take place for those who are listening today
their prayers will increase they'll be more powerful
they'll be more effective and that you'll receive
the glory you'll receive the praise and honor
for it these things I ask now in Jesus Amen.
Well, thank you for listening to this podcast.
I can make a couple comments about the podcast
series that we're in, the Holy Spirit. We're
going to continue on in that for a while. And
my next podcast, I believe, unless the Holy Spirit
changes us, is going to be called Holy Spirit
Gives Comfort. And that's something that was
well received several months ago when I spoke
on it. I really believe I need to get into that
in a little deeper and see how the Lord guides
us and directs us. So I hope that you would be
interested in getting to know quality Christian
living a little better. If you'd like to know
more about us, you can go to my webpage at davidcfriendauthor
.com. When you get there, on the front page,
there'll be a link to all the podcasts we've
done. I think this is the 25th or 26th podcast
that we've done on the Holy Spirit, and we're
gonna continue as the Spirit of God leads us.
If you'd like to know more about my writings
and what the things that we've done that the
Lord's given me, you can scroll down on my webpage
and you'll see a list of books that are on Amazon
dealing with faith, dealing with how to handle
your finances, just some general help. that'll
be a blessing and pray for me if you would. I'm
trying to put together a new book on the Holy
Spirit and I think I might want to call it the
Experience the Holy Spirit because that has been
a very powerful on my mind lately so I hope that
you would just pray for me that God would direct
me in that area and if you'd like to subscribe
to my podcast you can do that by going to cpnshows
.com or wherever you listen to your podcast.
I pray that the Lord will bless you. I thank
you once again for listening in. Thank you for
taking time out of your day and taking 25 -30
minutes with me so that we can cover these topics
and I know that the Lord is pleased. I know the
Holy Spirit wants to work in each and every one
of us. He loves all of us the same. He doesn't
have favorites. He blesses us and helps us and
sometimes I think we sit back and say, well how
come that guy's getting blessed so much and how
come that person is or that girl is or their
business is doing well or they've got lots of
money and God must like them best. That's just
not true. God loves all of us equally. He loves
each and every every person on earth, whether
we're following him or not, he still loves us.
And he'll continue to love us until he brings
us into his kingdom. And I just pray that all
of us would think about people who don't know
Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and we should share
our faith with them. The Holy Spirit came upon
us. One of the greatest challenges that we were
given was that we would be witnesses, which means
we would share our faith and talk about Jesus
to others. So I hope that you will be led by
the Spirit of God to witness your faith to other
people and lead people to Jesus Christ. There's
really nothing than that. Honestly, it's one
of the most joyful things that the Lord has shown
me to do, is to take every opportunity that I
have to lead people to Jesus. So I pray that
you'll be blessed with that. If you'd kind of
like to know what we're going to talk about in
the next upcoming podcast, let me just share
a couple thoughts before I close this up today.
I mentioned the podcast will be on the comfort
of the Holy Spirit, but we're going to base it
upon a scripture that's so wonderful. The Spirit
is upon me. It's in Luke chapter 4 and verse
18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. What does
that mean? I'm not even change the title from
comfort to the Holy Spirit is upon us. And talk
about that. I think it's something that's powerful.
It'll help us to understand how we can walk in
the power of the Holy Spirit. And I pray that
you'll listen to that. Let your friends and family
members know that we're going to be covering
this in our next coming podcast. In closing,
I'd like to thank you for listening. And if you
