Who’s in the Spotlight?
April 12, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me. John 15:26
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Some people get caught up in what they believe are the actions of the Holy Spirit. They turn their focus to miracles, healings, signs, and more. Friend, beware of those who make the Holy Spirit the figurehead of their faith, because this does not best describe the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit.
In John 15:26, Jesus says that when the Holy Spirit comes, He will “testify of Me.” The Holy Spirit has one cause: to testify of Jesus Christ. He is single-minded. He’s not interested in doing ten things for God – just one. This is the cause of the Spirit: “He will not speak of Himself, but He will glorify Me.”
The mark of a person who’s filled with the Holy Spirit is not that they’re always talking about the fact that they’re filled with the Spirit, but that they’re always glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ.
ACTION POINT:
I challenge you to make this pledge to God: I will bring my talents, my business, my time, and my resources – all for the cause of Christ. This one thing I do – sink or swim, live or die – Jesus will be glorified in my life today and every day!
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
