One of the mysteries of Christian faith is the Holy Spirit.

Paul writes in Romans 15:13, “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

The Bible tells us that we can only believe in Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us. It also tells us that it is the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, and allowed the apostles to perform miracles. The Holy Spirit is also how God works in us, connects us to each other, and to Him.

We therefore have God’s unlimited power in us and available to us. I believe that the biggest limit on that power is our limited faith in it.

Dear Lord, let us take the limits off of the Holy Spirit working through us, and as Paul tells us, “overflow with confident hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.” With You, all things are possible. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
