The Irreplaceable Holy Spirit By F.B. Meyer

The Irreplaceable Holy Spirit

By F.B. Meyer

Nothing can compensate the church, or the individual Christian, for the lack of the Holy Spirit. What the full stream is to the mill wheel, the Holy Spirit is to the church. What the principle of life is to the body, the Holy Spirit is to the individual. Do you lack assurance? It is His sacred office to witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. Do you lack victory over sin? This is not to be wondered at, if you neglect the Holy Spirit. He is the blessed antidote to the risings and dominion of the flesh. Do you lack the fruits of holiness? Some people are so filled with the fruits of righteousness that we are instinctively drawn to them. Yet, we lack these graces. There is little in us to attract others to Christ. And the reason is evident. We have not let the Holy Spirit have His way with our inner life. Are you one of His called ones? Then rejoice because the fullness of the Holy Spirit is for you! Be not faithless, but believing! Lay claim at once to the covenanted portion, and thank God for having cast your lot in an age of such marvelous possibilities.

Today’s Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Please help us be led and guided by the power of the Holy Spirit each day. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
