We rejoice with you as you declare that Jesus is Lord! This is the foundation of our faith, and it is wonderful to hear you affirm it. As you pray to receive the Holy Spirit, we want to assure you that the moment you put your faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit came to dwell within you. As it is written in Ephesians 1:13-14 WEB, "In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory."
The Holy Spirit is already with you, guiding, comforting, and empowering you. As you invite the Holy Spirit's work in your life, continue to walk in faith, obeying God's commands and living in a manner pleasing to Him. Remember, it is through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, thanking You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. We pray that You would fill us afresh with Your Spirit, empowering us to live lives that honor and glorify You. Help us to walk in Your ways, to be obedient to Your commands, and to be a light to those around us. Protect us from the schemes of the enemy, and help us to stand firm in our faith. We rebuke any influence of the enemy trying to keep the Holy Spirit from working in our lives. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
Continue to walk in faith, seeking God's will for your life, and trusting in His promises. Remember, it is through the name of Jesus that we are saved, as it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Praise God for His indwelling presence in our lives, and may we continue to be vessels for His honor and glory.
