The Spirit Coming Upon You

Scripture:

Judges 6:34  "The the Spirit of the Lord came on Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, summoning the Abiezrites to follow him".

Observation:

All throughout the Old Testament the Spirit of the Lord would "come upon" a person and they would do great exploits for God and His Kingdom.  When the Spirit of the Lord "came upon" someone, everything changed.  They became powerful, invincible, people of courage with faith that was amazing.  When the Spirit of the Lord came upon them, they would subdue kingdoms and wipe out their enemies.

Application:

Back then the Spirit of the Lord "came upon" them, but since Christ, the Spirit of the Lord is within us as believers.  The same Spirit that came upon leaders in the OT now resides within His people.  Just as the Spirit made the people of the OT powerful, invincible, people of courage with amazing faith, so the Spirit of the Lord should operate in our lives.  When the Spirit of the Lord came upon someone, they went from backward and shy to bold and aggressive.

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, come upon my life with your power.  Fill my life to overflowing and cause me to be all Your desire for me to be.  Help me be a man of faith and victory.  Teach me to walk in Your Spirit continually and see the greater works Jesus talked about.  I want to see revival in my generation.  I want to see Your Spirit move in the U.S. in my lifetime without measure.

Yours,
Jeff
