This is just a partial list! This is the power that resides in all believers! This is the deposit God made into our lives when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Yet so many of us do not cultivate the relationship with this counselor; our comfort. We cannot expect to mature as Christians and grow into the will God has for our lives if we do not cultivate our relationship with the Holy Spirit. We cannot cultivate that relationship if we are putting out the very fire God has put inside each of us. Paul warns us of that in this verse. It is the will of God for you today to actively pursue a communal relationship with the Holy Spirit and rely on Him for guidance in our walk. He lives in you today; are you living in Him?
