revive 2010: day 20

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
galations 5:22-26

Father i come today asking for more of the Holy Spirit. i first want thank you God, for the friendship of the Holy Spirit, which gives me intimacy, security, and encouragement. i thank you for the Holy Spirit, which enables me to approach your throne with confidence, to enjoy intimacy with you.

help us to understand God, that as we walk in the Spirit, as you are faithful to your promise to fill us up with the fullness of your Spirit, let your people be ones marked by the fruit of your Spirit. i'm asking God, that your people would be overflowing with the Spirit. God, let there be a distinct difference between your people, filled by the Spirit and others in this world. i'm asking for moments where nonbelievers will notice a distinct difference in your people, because we are ones filled with your Spirit. let your people be ones marked and set apart from the rest of the world, that we would be ones to supernaturally walk in the Spirit--overflowing with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

God, let us not just memorize the fruits of your Spirit, and what they are, but give us the grace to walk in them. let us not settle for a life that looks the same as someone who does not know you, God. let us live supernaturally in the Spirit. let us understand what it means to be filled with joy, genuine peace in every circumstance. teach us what it means to respond with love, patience, and kindness in every relationship, regardless of the response we get from others. we need your help, God. we cannot do this on our own. we cannot be something that we are not--on our own strength or willpower. for we recognize our flesh prevents us from fully walking in your Spirit. so help us, God. we need you Holy Spirit. we need your power to walk supernaturally in the fruit of the Spirit.

Father of glory give us the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name.
