BY She Reads Truth
Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
The Holy Spirit fills and fuels the Church with God’s power to preach the gospel, serve others, repent from sin, and increasingly live in freedom.
Discussion Question: In light of today’s Scripture reading, how can you live out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit?

I can live out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit by depending on him every day to direct my path. I can listen to his still, small voice, and walk in the way he directs. I can turn to him in times of sadness, trouble, or joy to know his will for me.

The song Doubt by Anna Golden always reminds me of God’s faithfulness and gives me a boost of confidence when I need it!

I can live out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit by more intentionally inviting the Spirit into my daily life, and turning to the Holy Spirit in times of stress/struggle/overwhelm rather than trying to do things on my own. More intentional reliance on the HS and release of things that are too heavy for me to carry. And thinking more critically about the gifts I have received through the Spirit rather than focusing on the gifts others seem to have. I guess overall…I need my eyes to be more focused on the HS and less on what’s going on around me in the natural.

I appreciate your comments. I often forget to draw on the strength of the Holy Spirit and try to go in my own strength

By abiding in Christ. Abiding in His Word. His Word renews our minds. Our minds are either going to be conformed by this world or conformed to God’s truth. I can do nothing to follow Christ if I’m not abiding. In acts they simply obeyed and waited for the Holy Spirit. We also just obey Jesus’ words and the Holy Spirit will move and manifest as He desires to through us.

I can have more confidence in what how the Lord has made me and how He is guiding my life. Often I become so scared and paralyzed in what do next, afraid of making the wrong move, or nervous because I don’t know what is coming next. But I need to let the Holy Sprit guide me and let it take the lead.

For me I feel like spiritual gifts are individual to each person. I’ve never been great at speaking in tongues but I have good discernment
-
I want to be more aware of the Holy Spirit living inside of me and guiding me through life.
