Pastor Eric's Words of Redemption

Bible verse:

Romans 8:14–16 (NIV) -- ¹⁴ For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ¹⁵ The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” ¹⁶ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

My take for today:

The Holy Spirit.

My prayer:

Lord, I thank you for the Holy Spirit, the teacher of truth, whom you have called to lead and guide your children in this world of principalities, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness.  Lord, help us to listen to the learning of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Bible verse:

John 3:5–8 (NIV) -- ⁵ Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. ⁶ Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. ⁷ You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ ⁸ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

My take for today:

Being born of water and the Spirit.

My prayer:

Lord, as I stand in your presence today, I pray for my new birth of the Holy Spirit so that I can experience the Kingdom of God as Jesus declares:  “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again.” Thank you, Lord, for being born with water and of the spirit in the name of Jesus, Amen.
