TODAY’S MESSAGE: Jesus, the Gift Giver (John 14:15-27)

KNOW: The Holy Spirit is everywhere always; comforting and counseling, teaching and reminding, remembering and interceding.

PRAY: Jesus, I love you. I repent of my sinful ways, my sinful wills, and my sinful wonderings. Jesus, I love you and I desire to live in obedience to You. Holy Spirit, make Your presence with me and in me today; be my comforter and counselor, teacher and trainer, guide and intercessor. Grant me strength and power, confidence and wisdom, to walk in obedience to You. Amen.
