Hello, Holy Spirit Devotional Week 6 – Hello, Greater

The Holy Spirit directs us toward enhanced faith and increased work instead of focusing on fear. Through His presence, He enables us to transcend barriers while motivating us to pursue our lives purposefully and with courage. The Spirit leads us toward unexpected opportunities and enhances our abilities to accomplish extraordinary things. The power He places within us serves as an ongoing reminder of our destined path to accomplish greater things.

Greater Faith  

Faith extends beyond belief because it involves taking trust-based actions. Through faith, we trust God’s plan because the Holy Spirit strengthens our faith as we progress into uncertain situations. While fear attempts to keep us stationary, faith motivates us to progress forward. Faith connects us to God’s promises and allows His transformative power to work through us.

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1, NIV)

The Holy Spirit enables believers to trust in God’s plan when its nature remains ambiguous. He assures us that God’s wisdom and power, along with His timing, are reliable.

Greater Works

Jesus declared, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12, NIV)

Through the empowerment of the Spirit, we develop abilities to serve and lead as well as create in ways that surpass our natural talents. In ministry work as well as business activities and daily interpersonal interactions He leads us to perform deeds that bring glory to God while blessing others. Our lasting impact and fulfillment emerge through serving a greater purpose.

1. Ephesians 3: According to His power working within us, God is able to accomplish immeasurably more than anything we ask or imagine.

Act
