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?
Todays scripture reading reminds us that we aren’t living this life alone. The gifts we are given, the evangelizing we are called to do… we don’t do this on our own (Thank you, Jesus!); instead we are able to do these things through the Holy Spirit. Our job is to listen to the Spirit, be obedient to the Spirit, and ultimately submit our life to the Spirit. The Spirit is teaching us and transforming us to be Citizens of Heaven.
“The Holy Spirit is a down payment for our inheritance…”
The Holy Spirit is our confidence! We can do where Christ calls us, do what He wants us to do because of the Holy Spirit. It is the reminder that it’s not about my abilities, but it is only through the Holy Spirit that the Lord’s work can be accomplished! Thank you Jesus for giving us the Holy Spirit! Our promise that Christ has not forgotten us. ❤️
I can “live out” the truth of being filled with the Spirit by letting the Holy Spirit guide me in every part of my life (Galatians 5:16, 25). Then I will experience the fruit of the Spirit, while putting to death the desires of my flesh.
Thank you for that Mercy, it’s so easy to forget that we rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and not our own. Especially when we feel like collapsing or hiding away from life, it’s so good to remember that I’m not the one who has to hold the pieces together to be okay, the Holy Spirit already promised He would do that for me through His strength.
That is a wonderful reminder Grayson, thank you for posting it. I really needed to see that!
In light of today’s scripture, I can live out the truth that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit by remembering that every person who has excepted salvation is made a new into the Holy Spirit‘s power, I can hope in The fact that we are all heirs to eternal life and that we have been justified by grace. I can also live this out by keeping in step with a Holy Spirit and listening to the messages He gives.
Our talents that we have come from Jesus so we can use it to glorify the kingdom… we didn’t “make them”… and so we shouldn’t use them only for ourselves! We must use them for Jesus and only Jesus
I could be more intentional about using the gifts the Holy Spirit has equipped me with in order to better serve God and unify the church!
