40 Days of Prayer – Day 19

POINTED TO JESUS BY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST JOHN 15:26  

Jesus told us to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. He also said that living in this world  as a believer is going to be difficult—people will hate you, persecute you, and won’t always  desire the truth. But Jesus also promised that the Holy Spirit would come—the Comforter.  You never have to do anything on your own, and you can’t anyway.  

When we have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, He promises to send the Holy  Spirit to give comfort, guidance, and power. 

The Holy Spirit testifies of the truth of Jesus. Scripture does not say that He will testify about  Himself or about you or your opinions or scientific evidence of creation. It simply states that  He will testify about Jesus. 

You have the Holy Spirit in your life to give you hope, strength, boldness, power, and assur ance. You are not alone. The Holy Spirit is also at work in you as you model the love of Jesus  and share the truth of Jesus. And the great news is that He has already gone ahead of you  preparing the hearts and minds of those that you can share this truth with.  

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. Thank God that He has sent Jesus to die for you so that you can be  forgiven. Praise Him knowing that He has sent the Holy Spirit so that  you can have hope, strength, boldness, power, and assurance in  your life. 

2. As you are at school, at practice, rehearsal, etc., pray that you will be  attentive to the work of the Holy Spirit in your life and that you will  follow His guidance. 

3. Pray that you will be able to share the truth of the gospel to your  friends by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to guide you and  give you words to say.
