Today I just want to take a few moments to give thanks for the Holy Spirit which dwells in me, a gift from God. The Holy Spirit works in our lives daily look at some of His works.

He fills us with joy! Thank You God!
At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, Luke 10:21

He reveals God’s plans! Thank You Lord!
Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Luke 25:26-27

He gives us God’s word to speak. Thank You Father!
…for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say Luke 12:12


He gives us great counsel, teach and remind us of Jesus truths. Thank You God But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26

He gives us instructions. Thank You God.
…until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. Acts 1:2

He helps us speak boldly the word of God. Thank You Lord.
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. Acts 4:31 NIV

He strengthened and encourages us. Thank You Father.
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit; it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord. Acts 9:31

He guides our journey. Thank You God
The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. Acts 13:4

He helps us not to speak when the time is not right. Thank You Father.

He fills our hearts with the Love of God. Thank You Lord.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:5

Thank You Father God, my Lord for Thy Holy Spirit and all His work in me. I know through Thy Holy Spirit You will complete in me every good and perfect work. Thank You Lord for not leaving me alone but giving me a Comforter, a Guide and a Teacher. May I always be open to Your voice through the Holy Ghost. Jesus in You mighty, awesome Name I pray. Amen
