TODAY'S RHEMA John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
James was an eleventh-grade high school student. He often skipped class, cheated, spoke profanity and smoked. His parents kept cautioning him about his negative lifestyle, but he never listened. His friends also counseled him but he objected. Things became worse when he got a notification letter from school warning of an impending expulsion if he was not willing to change for the better.
One day, Ted, James's friend, invited him to Holy Spirit Crusade Service for high school students. Miraculously, James was willing to come. At the service, the preacher gave an altar call and James decided to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour. That was a historical moment for James. It was the first time James invited the Holy Spirit to come into his heart. His life started to change. He didn't skip school and cheat. He also stopped speaking profanity and smoking. The Holy Spirit took over his life and changed him into a better person.
Do you remember the first time you invited Jesus to come into your heart? When you invited Him, the Holy Spirit moved into you. He guides you, brings things to your mind, and helps you to overcome your problems. Inviting the Holy Spirit to come into your heart is the first step to experiencing the Holy Spirit's domination. If you were once lazy, now you'd be enabled for diligence. If you were once arrogant, now you'd become humble. If once incapable, you'd become multitalented. Therefore, if you haven't received the Holy Spirit, make a decision now and invite Him to come into your heart. Your starving soul will be filled with the Holy Spirit's dominion power.
