19-May       Seek Hidden Treasures

John 14:16-17   And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.

The world can’t see or hear the Holy Spirit, and doesn’t even recognize that He exists. But in truth He may be the greatest “hidden” treasure of all. Because of the Spirit of God living inside us, we are equipped to handle and overcome every one of life’s challenges. The Holy Spirit will tell us things we never learned through studying. With the leading of the Spirit we will always escape every snare the enemy may set and we’ll confidently pursue the opportunities God has prepared for us.

Beyond success in our work assignments, the Holy Spirit will also connect us with the power to heal the sick and brokenhearted, and set captives free. The Holy Spirit will tell us exactly when and where to release that power. Now that’s a treasure, but hopefully it won’t remain hidden!

DECLARE THIS:
• I have the Holy Spirit inside me to empower me in all things.
• By faith I receive the supernatural insight and wisdom that comes directly to me through the Spirit of God.
• I thank God for this life-transforming gift of Christ in me.
