But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
-Jesus, john 14:26
Jesus, we thank you for your spoken promises recorded in your word. we thank you that before you were crucified, you promised us that you will send the Holy Spirit. we thank you that you didn't leave this world without leaving us with the Holy Spirit to lead us, to guide us. we thank you that you did not leave us as orphans, but you gave us your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of adoption, that enables us to enter into your presence as your sons and daughters. we thank you that through the Holy Spirit you have literally adopted us into your kingdom as your sons and daughters.
Father of glory, today i am asking for the Holy Spirit. God i'm asking that this will be a year marked by the fingerprints of the Holy Spirit. God i'm asking that your people will be able to recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives, to recognize that He is a person living in us and works through us. God i'm asking that your people would begin to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit as a lover, as a counselor, a helper, an advocate, a friend, and a healer.
God i'm asking for the Holy Spirit to come alive within our hearts, that we may be people overflowing with the fruits of the Spirit--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, that we would be people marked by the Spirit because we are ones that are walking in the Spirit, not in the flesh. God i'm asking that your people would be ones visibly set apart from the rest of the world--that we would be ones who pursue righteousness and holiness, and not to do things to grieve the spirit or to quench His work in us.
God i'm asking for signs and wonders to be demonstrated through the power of the Holy Spirit i'm asking for gifts to be activated--healing, prophecy, wisdom, knowledge; that we as your sons and daughters may recognize the authority given to us by the Spirit. let us be ones to walk in the fullness of the inheritance given to us by the Spirit.
God i'm asking that we would be people who love and submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit in our lives. that we would be actively engaging with your Spirit, that we would be led by the Spirit, and that our old self and our old thoughts may die and be born again and renewed by the Spirit. let us not submit to worldly thoughts, anxiety, worries, or struggles, but let our minds be renewed daily by the Spirit. give us the grace to open our hearts and our souls for the Spirit to do His work within us--to bring healing, freedom, and restoration.
