The influences of the Holy Ghost are much greater on us than we may realize.

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13)

It is God via the Holy Ghost that works inside each of us. The Spirit creates the desire to do God’s bidding and supplies us with the strength and energy in which to do it. When we abide by His good pleasure all goes well. When we resist the notions and unctions of the Spirit, life tends to get tough. It isn’t because God punishes us for not doing what He wanted. It’s because God knows what is best for us and that’s what he is encouraging us to do. But because of our free will and man’s propensity to think he knows best, we often dismiss God’s desire for us and do as we please.

Let loose, let go and let God. When the Spirit of the Lord is working within you, listen and abide. God knows what is best.

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God…Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:16,26)
