But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative-that is, the Holy Spirit- he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. – John 14:26 (NLT)
WORKINGS OF THE SPIRIT
A poem and essay by ILMA
As soon as we believe that Christ is our Savior
We are anointed with power and valor
God expects his people to bring Good News to the poor
He sent them to free those who are oppressed by the cruel.
The Holy Spirit lives in the hearts of those anointed
He reveals the gifts to each one who are appointed
God’s people are used to release all those enslaved
His Spirit brings peace and Jesus assures that they are saved.
What does God’s Spirit do in our lives? The spirit is our teacher, our counselor, our helper and our guide. John 14:26 says he is our Helper and brings us to memory all things we need to learn. He also helps us in our weakness (Romans 8:26).
The bible says that God’s people are anointed by God’s Spirit to bring Good News to the poor, release the captives, let the blind see and let the oppressed free. Apparently, this is what is expected of all Christians.
PRAYER
Lord, remind me to use my anointing for your glory.
REFLECTION
What does the anointing of the Spirit do in our lives as Christians?
