The Influence of Gods Spirit
The Influence of God’s Spirit
" 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psa 51:10 NIV
By The Influence of God’s Spirit,
God speaks to us all.
But it’s only by permission,
The Holy Spirit upon us will call.
When we open our hearts to God in prayer,
As if talking to a friend,
He makes our requests known to heaven;
And employs God’s support to send.
The Holy Spirit brings us to repentance;
Tells us what is right or wrong;
Allows us to make choices daily;
Puts in our hearts a joyful song.
The Holy Spirit is a person
Who has feelings that can be hurt.
We should be conscious of his presence;
Not choose temptations to divert.
The Holy Spirit takes our prayers to heaven;
To those sacred courts above;
In a language that has beauty
And filled with God’s amazing love.
He gifts us a sorrow for sin
And the ability to see its uselessness.
He changes our hearts;
Gives us a desire for heaven’s holiness.
The Influence of God’s Spirit
Can be seen everywhere;
In volunteering to help the poor and needy;
Showing others that we care.
He’s found in a desire to read God’s word
And be drawn into communion,
With our Creator and Savior;
Be made free from condemnation.
