The Power of God in You

As you begin to pray and plan for how God can use you to build a movement of prayer, evangelism and discipleship on your campus, remember that you cannot do this apart from God’s power through the Holy Spirit working in you.  It is easy for us, after becoming a believer, to fall into the trap of thinking that it is now up to them and their willpower to live a holy and pleasing life before God. Yet, as good as our intentions may be, we truly are incapable of living a life pleasing to God without His help. That help is found through the person of the Holy Spirit.

You and your disciples need to understand the four most basic concepts that increase, or limit, the empowerment or influence of the Holy Spirit. They are:

·         submitting to Christ’s lordship of our lives,  

·         confessing sin,

·         relying moment by moment on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and

·         abiding in Christ.

Here is a short study on how to allow the HolySpirit’s power to work through you.  

 

This is a study that not only can you go through yourself, but it would be a great study to do with other believers who are joining you in asking God to use you to bring His light to the lost students on your campus and help them grow into disciples who are joining you in building a spiritual movement at your school.  

This is the most important concept for believers to grasp in all their walk with Christ!   It has taken me a number of years to get to where I feel like I really understand what it means to walk every moment in the Holy Spirit’s power.  Please don’t take this information lightly and please make sure that every believer you know understands how to live a life that is pleasing to God through being empowered in Him to do just that!
