THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

1. Wisdom
2. Understanding
3 Counsel

4.       FORTITUDE -  Strengthen us to do the will of God in all things

Really? Remember shortly after you were "saved",  you were afraid your best friends would notice something
different about you, and what would you say? Tell them about it, or deny anything was different.
Or you were with your friends and they were acting not like a Christian would. Would you say something
or just let it pass, or speak out against that kind of living?
I believe after you submit yourself to the Holy Spirit within you, You gain the ability to meet such
situations with courage to speak up, and tell others what you believe to be the thing to do
or how we as Christians should act. Actually we now have the desire to take the lead in situations with
friends and others, and show them how a Christian should think and act.

It becomes natural to us and others notice our actions and ask us why. This gives opportunity to tell
them about our God.

                                              Our God, we thank you for Your Holy Spirit you
                                              have given to us. Let us enjoy Your presence
                                              and receive Your strength. In Jesus' name.     Amen
