Empowered by the Holy Spirit

Bunkhouse Beacon – Empowered by the Holy Spirit

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV - Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. This isn't just poetic language; it's a transformative reality.

When you accepted Christ, God took up residence within you. You were bought at a price, and that price was the life of God's Son.

This means we don't operate in our own strength or talent. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us.

Today, May 5th, there is no need to keep striving in your own abilities. Instead, acknowledge the Holy Spirit's presence.

Ask Him to fill you afresh. Your effectiveness as a witness doesn't come from being polished, talented, or confident; it comes from being spiritually supplied by God Himself.

Question: Are you trying to live the Christian life in your own power, or are you drawing daily from the Holy Spirit's strength?

Grace and Peace
