Give The Holy Spirit Control
 Toni Smothers
 
Scripture Reading: John 16:7-15
Click here to read the scripture 
Scripture Quote: "If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. John 14:15-17 (NIV)
 
Is Jesus more and more dominating every interest of our lives? Jesus said to abide in Him and He would abide in us. Do we actually take the time to abide in Him, or does He get the crumbs of our attention throughout the day? It takes deliberate discipline to limit ourselves and be filled with the mind, spirit and heart of Christ. One of the hardest things about being a Christian is the directing of all the stray thoughts and actions of the flesh.
 
Being determined to limit ourselves in any way is acting in direct contradiction to everything we have been taught by our teachers, leaders, society and sometimes even our parents. We have been taught to expand, take control and conquer - God wants us to rest, lean and follow His perfect will. Then those of us who believe can ask to be enabled by the Holy Spirit's abundant influences, which will give us the purpose we all yearn to find for our lives.
 
Today’s meditation: Let the Holy Spirit guide all aspects of your life.
 
Memory Verse: “and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20 (NIV)

Lectura bíblica: Juan 16: 7-15
Haga clic aquí para leer la escritura
Cita de las Escrituras: "Si me amas, cumple mis mandamientos. Y le preguntaré al Padre, y él te dará otro defensor para ayudarte y estar contigo para siempre: el Espíritu de la verdad. El mundo no puede aceptarlo, porque ni lo ve ni lo conoce, pero tú lo conoces, porque él vive contigo y estará en ti. Juan 14: 15-17 (NVI)
 
¿Está Jesús dominando cada vez más cada interés de nuestras vidas? Jesús dijo que permaneciera en Él y que permanecería en nosotros. ¿De verdad nos tomamos el tiempo de morar en Él, o recibe las migajas de nuestra atención durante todo el día? Se requiere disciplina deliberada para limitarnos a nosotros mismos y ser llenos de la mente, el espíritu y el corazón de Cristo. Una de las cosas más difíciles de ser cristiano es dirigir todos los pensamientos y acciones perdidos de la carne.
 
Estar determinados a limitarnos de alguna manera está actuando en contradicción directa con todo lo que nos han enseñado nuestros maestros, líderes, la sociedad y, a veces, incluso nuestros padres. Nos han enseñado a expandir, tomar el control y conquistar: Dios quiere que descansemos, nos apoyemos y sigamos su perfecta voluntad. Entonces aquellos de nosotros que creemos podemos pedir ser capacitados por las abundantes influencias del Espíritu Santo, lo cual nos dará el propósito que todos anhelamos encontrar para nuestras vidas.
 
La meditación de hoy: permite que el Espíritu Santo guíe todos los aspectos de tu vida.
 
Versículo para memorizar: "y enseñándoles a obedecer todo lo que te he mandado". Y ciertamente estoy con ustedes siempre, hasta el fin del mundo ". Mateo 28:20 (NVI)
