May 6, 2023: Making Room For Holy Spirit!

"But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me." (John 15:26, ESV)

Some have called it nesting. I call it unique what happens to a woman once she discovers she is pregnant. Immediately she begins thinking about a home with a child in it. Things in the house begin to be moved and rearranged as she prepares to make room for this new life about to enter her world.
    
As Spirit-filled believers, we, too, need to make room for the Holy Spirit in our lives. Often we pray these short prayers asking for the Holy Spirit to change our lives, homes, and community, but we are so busy living life that we do not give the Life-Giving Holy Spirit the opportunity to operate in our lives. We have our lives all planned out, and too much of our planning excludes the Holy Spirit.
    
What would happen in your life if you acknowledged you were filled with the Holy Spirit and pregnant with the purposes of God? You would make room for this New Life (Holy Spirit) to operate in your world. You would not be thinking just about yourself. You would think about this New Life, the Holy Spirit in you. You would be asking, "What can I do to facilitate the move of God in my life? Holy Spirit, how do you want to move in my home, community, marriage, and children?" Make room for the Holy Spirit
