When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria. When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:14-17 NIV
Poem: "HOLY SPIRT" by Deborah Ann Belka
Holy Spirit, come be with me,
continually support, all of me
lead my soul, direct my ways
hear the words, my heart prays.
Holy Spirit, come comfort me,
release and deliver, unto me
all Your might, all Your power
counsel me, every waking hour.
Holy Spirit, my Father's gift to me,
Spirit of Christ, living inside me
Spirit of God, Spirit of holy Fear
come whisper truth, in my ear!
continually support, all of me
lead my soul, direct my ways
hear the words, my heart prays.
Holy Spirit, come comfort me,
release and deliver, unto me
all Your might, all Your power
counsel me, every waking hour.
Holy Spirit, my Father's gift to me,
Spirit of Christ, living inside me
Spirit of God, Spirit of holy Fear
come whisper truth, in my ear!

Praise & Prayer of thanks for the Holy Spirit in my lifeAbba Father, I praise You for the marvelous works of my Lord Jesus in my life. Thank You for sending the Holy Spirit in His name to be my Advocate, Teacher, Helper, Comforter, Power, and Guide. Come Holy Spirit, I need You. Please continue to speak to me everything I need to know as I read the Holy Scriptures. Remind me of everything that Jesus has told me so I grow in modeling His character and remain steadfast in the faith until I reach the finish line here on earth. Stir me to pray without ceasing for family members and people who have never confessed Jesus as LORD or experienced Your powerful presence in their lives. I pray in Jesus' mighty name. Amen (so be it).
