Day 15 Through Our Words

Week 3: Holy Spirit Power

If you have the Dynamite Prayer book, today, you should be reading Day 15: Through Our Words. For the entire devotion, please pick up a book from the church or online.

Scripture Reading

Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NLT)

And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.

For further Biblical Read: 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

Thoughts to Ponder (Dynamite Prayer)

Would you say that your words are often motivated by your emtions (defensiveness, insecurity, superiority, critical of others, desire to be the authority) or do you find yourself holding space for the dunamis of God's Spirit to provid you words and attitude that will bless and encourage others?

Prayer

God, break through my prideful desire to sound capable, talented, or competent in the eyes of others, so that I might live today surrendered to your Spirit's power flowing through my words and actions instead. Amen.
