Emphasis Preaching Journal

It's amazing what we can do for God when we are inwardly empowered to do it. The spirit, wind, or breath that God creates within us is the dynamo we need to do God's will. Even love and self-discipline are possible with the power of God's Spirit at work within our selves.

Without the assistance of the Holy Spirit, we can never hope to maintain the confidence we need to be God's people. Where there is no spirit, there is no life. But where there is spirit, there is life, power, love, and self-discipline.
