  • Ximena Chávezhas quoted3 years ago
    When I live by my own power and strength, relying solely on my natural talents to see me through, then people naturally praise me for how I am living. But when I am living in a way that requires me to depend on the Holy Spirit, people respond by praising my Father in heaven.

    He desires to do more than “help out” a bit. He wants to completely transform us. He wants to take a timid heart and set it ablaze with strength and courage, so much so that people know something supernatural has taken place—life change just as miraculous as fire coming down from heaven.

    Have you ever prayed that God would so fill you with the Spirit that people would know the change could be empowered only by the Spirit?

    In fact, the decisions we make next year will be profoundly affected by the degree to which we submit to the Spirit right now, in today’s decisions.
  • Ximena Chávezhas quoted3 years ago
    Let’s pray that God would empower us so radically that we would get no glory. That people would see our works and glorify God.
  • Ximena Chávezhas quoted3 years ago
    as believers we can never be “done” with God. He is infinite and we are finite; there will always be more of His character to discover, more of His love to experience, and more of His power to use for His purposes.
  • Ximena Chávezhas quoted3 years ago
    We’ll be reminded of the strength and wisdom available to us in the Spirit and earnestly pray for more. As we trust in the promises of the Spirit, we will be led away from discouragement and into lives marked by confidence, power in the midst of our weakness, and the fruit of the Spirit.
  • Ximena Chávezhas quoted3 years ago
    But when believers live in the power of the Spirit, the evidence in their lives is supernatural. The church cannot help but be different, and the world cannot help but notice.
