POWER PULSE

( In Preparation for the Feast of Pentecost)

DAY THREE: HOLY SPIRIT – THE GUIDE

 

REFLECT:

The Gospel of St John 16: 13 says, “When the Spirit of God comes, He will GUIDE you into all truth”

 

It is our ordinary human need to have a friend or a guide or a person who can inspire us, challenge us, correct us and be with us.

>> This is much more in the spiritual realm

 

Jesus assures that the Holy Spirit is to be the “greatest Guide” for a Christian.

 

The Bible is a mighty testament to the many instances of the Spirit of God “guiding” people…

>> Moses and the people of Israelites were led through the wilderness (Is 63: 11-14)

>>  The Spirit of God came upon David, when he was anointed (1 Sam 16:13)

>> Jesus, after His Baptism was led by the Holy Spirit ( Lk 4:1)

>> The Apostles were constantly led by the guidance of the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:2)

 

It is the Holy Spirit who “guides us”…

… He helps to take decisions in moments of crisis, uncertainties, and doubts (Acts 15)

… He inspires in times of feeling low, feeling rejected and feeling lost (Acts 13: 52)

… He inspires in giving witness to the Lord and His Gospel (Acts 8:29)

 

EXAMINE:

Can I accept The Holy Spirit as “The Guide” of my life…?

… Accepting His guidance to be a witness to the Lord in our day-to-day activities

… Accepting His inspirations and listening to His voice to take decisions

… Accepting His joy-giving encouragements in times of difficulties

 

PRAYER:

Holy Spirit, the mighty Guide, we pray that you help us realise the need to depend on You, in this hard journey of life.

 

Guide us …

>> to constantly listen to Your voice speaking to us, through the Word of God, various situations of life and through many people

>> to co-operate with You, to understand the Providence of God in our lives and to be joyful in it

 

Constantly guide us… inspire us with holy thoughts… lead us by Your mighty strength, Amen!

 

 

Come Holy Spirit…Come into our hearts… and renew us, in your mighty love and fire!

May God Bless us!
