One Size Fits All

Today’s blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)

In the world today, products come in various strengths and sizes.  There’s half strength, full strength, pint size, mini size, kids size, and adult size, to name a few.

But when it comes to the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, there is only one size – full size.

If you are born again, you will never have more of the Holy Spirit in you than you do right now.  There is no junior Holy Spirit.

The problem is, as Christians, we lose sight of the power that resides within us, and instead, we try to live a life pleasing to God in our own feeble strength.

But as we learned last week, God put His spirit within us so that we would obey His laws and do whatever He commands (Ezekiel 36:27).

Don’t pray for a greater measure of the Holy Spirit.  Instead, recognize that the very presence of God has taken up residence in your spirit and wherever you go, He goes with you.  As you partner with Him, He will empower you to live a life of obedience in every way.

If you grab a hold of that truth, it will transform your life.  You will expect victory over sin.  You will expect to see miracles.   You will expect to say “yes” when God calls.  All because of He who lives within you.

As a recap, let’s take a quiz.  On a scale of 1 – 10, how much of the Holy Spirit lives in you?  If you answered 10, congratulations, you answered correctly.

Now go live a life without limitations as God intended.
