Invitation to the Spirit

A New Heart, New Mind A Continuous Prayer

 

"Heavenly Father, I come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging that 'no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit' (1 Corinthians 12:3).  I thank You that Your Spirit is already at work in me, drawing me closer to You.

​

Lord, I ask that You would 'unstop my ears' to hear what the Spirit says.  I stand on Your promise in Ezekiel: 'I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh' (Ezekiel 36:26). 

​

Soften my heart today, Lord.  Remove any hardness or resistance I have toward Your will.  I ask for the baptism of Your fire and power.  Your Word says that 'the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom' (2 Corinthians 3:17).  I pray for that freedom—freedom from fear, freedom from the past, and freedom to serve You fully.

 

May Your Spirit 'clothe me with power from on high' (Luke 24:49) so that I can be a witness of Your love to everyone I meet.   Holy Spirit, I invite You to please be my constant teacher.  I know that 'the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God' (1 Corinthians 2:10).

Reveal those deep things to me please.  Do not let me rely on my own understanding, but let Your Spirit 'remind me of everything Jesus has said' (John 14:26).  As I walk through this day, let me not gratify the desires of my flesh, but help me to 'keep in step with the Spirit' (Galatians 5:25). 

 

Let Your presence be the 'Still, Small Voice' behind me, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it' (Isaiah 30:21).  I thank You, Father, that You have not given me a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but You have given me the 'Spirit of adoption' by whom I cry out, 'Abba, Father' (Romans 8:15). 

 

I rest in the peace of knowing I am Your child, filled and led by Your Holy Spirit.

Amen."
