Two-Thirds Is Not Enough
Contributed by Lloyd John Ogilvie on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: It is not enough to know God and Jesus--you must also engage the Holy Spirit in your life.
Begin by asking Him to give you a fresh infilling of His power, wisdom, peace, and joy. Then talk to Him about the deepest need you are feeling right at this moment.
Here is a prayer to help you pray that prayer. The assignment of the Holy Spirit as the Third Person of the Trinity is to be our Counselor. Two-thirds is not enough. When you trust Him, you will discover that He’s the greatest Counselor in the world!
VII Concluding Personal Prayer
“Holy Spirit, the greatest Counselor in the world, I confess that I need You. I want to be Your Counselee. Every morning and evening, and all through each day, I want to open myself completely to Your power and guidance, Your gift of faith, Your character transplant in the fruit of Your indwelling presence in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I want to keep on being filled with You. Mold me, challenge me, change me, use me. I yield my will so You can help me be willing to know and do the Father’s will. Help me to glorify and serve Christ, and be made like Him. I entrust my life to You. I spread out before You my deepest needs and most urgent questions. Give the day, show the way; replace any hurts with Your hope; ignite my heart with the fire of Your passion; set me free. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. Amen.
