DEVO. 06.16.25

“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

- At the close of the Apostle Paul’s second letter to the church of Corinth he mentions Grace, Love and fellowship.

- The grace of God is his nearness and power to do what we would ordinarily not have the power to do.

- The love of God is the father’s love with all of His blessing.

- The fellowship with the Holy Spirit is essential and is what grabbed my attention.

- Many times we think of the Spirit as a force or a power but not a person.

- The person of the Holy Spirit is the third part of the Trinity.

- Holy Spirit is God but also most definitely a person.

- In order to experience his power and His presence is through fellowship.

- So the question is, Have you had fellowship with the Holy Spirit?

- If you don’t have fellowship then you won’t walk in His power.

- If you don’t have fellowship then you won’t experience His peace.

- The word “Fellowship” is a Greek word, “Koinonia”, which means communion, intimacy or joint partnership.

- So instead of saying, have you had fellowship with the Holy Spirit this morning, I can just as easily say, “Have you had intimacy with the Holy Spirit this morning?”

- Without a doubt, you know whether you have been intimate with the Holy Spirit.

- Intimacy cannot be rushed but it can definitely be missed.

- Intimacy means that you slow down and get out of your rushed pace and “get er done” mindset and get completely vulnerable.

- Intimacy means that you position your heart to receive.

- I really believe that our rushed pace of life and busy schedule is a tool of the enemy to produce more in the flesh but have less time for the Spirit.

- Today, carve out a chunk of time and clear out your schedule and make some time to have intimacy with the Holy Spirit.

- Stop doing, doing, doing and just “Be”

- Be a person of the Spirit.

- Be with Him and be ready to receive!

- Instead of walking away from your quiet time with some “head knowledge”, you may come away with a deposit in your heart that brings more life, brings inner healing and fresh revelation!

- Today, get intimate with the Holy Spirit!

- Have a great Monday!
