Faith Restores Life

Opening Verse

 “And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.”  — John 20:22 (KJV)

 

Introduction

The Holy Spirit is a powerful force that can transform lives, bringing the spiritually dead back to life. Just as an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can restart a physical heart, the Holy Spirit can revive a person’s spiritual heart.

 

Devotional Story

Consider a man named Peter. He had been wandering through life, feeling empty and lost. His heart was heavy with guilt and shame from past mistakes. One day, a friend who was filled with the Holy Spirit shared the love of Jesus with him. As Peter listened, he felt something stir within him. It was as if his dead spirit was being shocked back to life. He prayed, inviting the Holy Spirit into his heart, and from that moment, his life was transformed. Peter found purpose, joy, and a new beginning through the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

What This Means

The Holy Spirit can work through anyone willing to be an instrument of God’s love. You can be like an AED, reviving those who are spiritually dead around you. By sharing the Gospel and living a life filled with the Holy Spirit, you can help others experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

 

Think About This

– Have you felt the power of the Holy Spirit in your life?

– Are you willing to let the Holy Spirit use you to revive others?

– How can you be more open to the leading of the Holy Spirit in your daily interactions?

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I ask that You fill me with Your Spirit and use me to bring life to those who are spiritually dead. Help me to be sensitive to Your leading and bold in sharing Your love. May Your power flow through me to touch and transform lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

Closing Verse

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” — Acts 1:8 (KJV)
