Our 21 days end on our knees with Paul, asking for power in the inner being and praising the God who can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.

A lake holds what it receives. A river passes it on. On Day 20 we look at Ezekiel’s river and at Jesus’ promise of living water, and ask the Spirit to flow through us.

On the evening of the first Easter Day, Jesus came through locked doors, spoke peace and breathed on His disciples. On Day 19 we receive His peace and His sending.

God has not left His children to find their own way. On Day 12 we learn how the Holy Spirit leads us, and why His voice is often heard when the church is worshipping and fasting.

Paul did not rely on clever words. His message came with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power. On Day 11 we ask God to do what only He can do, so that faith rests on Him.

At Pentecost the fire of God rested on each believer in the room, not on a chosen few. On Day 9 we look at what happened that morning and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us in the same way.

The last thing Jesus said before He ascended was a promise: you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. On Day 8 we see what that power is for, and that the promise is still open.

A fire that is left alone dies down. On Day 7 Paul tells a timid young leader to fan into flame the gift God has put in him, because the Spirit gives power, love and self-discipline.

Good intentions are not enough to live for God. On Day 6 we ask Him to do by His power what we cannot do by ours, and to finish every good thing that faith has started.

Paul gives us one instruction for the whole Christian life: walk by the Spirit. On Day 1 we learn what that looks like from Monday to Sunday, and why it is the only way to beat the pull of the flesh.
