Day 4: He Does Not Give His Spirit by Measure

Welcome to Day 4 of our faith-building journey! Today, we are talking about how you have received God’s Holy Spirit by faith.

If you have given your life to Jesus Christ, making Him the Lord and Savior of your life, then God's Holy Spirit lives inside you right now. He came to dwell in you because of your faith in Jesus, and He is present within you without measure and without limitations!

Friend, you didn’t earn the presence of God’s Holy Spirit.

No earthly work could ever qualify you to receive God Himself living inside of you. We could never be good enough to earn His companionship or His love, let alone His Spirit and power resting, dwelling, and permanently remaining within us.

Yet, through your FAITH in Jesus, God CHOSE to send His Holy Spirit to live within you. But, not only that, but He sent the Holy Spirit with ALL He is and ALL He can do. He has no limitations—even when He dwells within you.

God does not give the Spirit by measure.

And if you think about it, He cannot give His Spirit by measure; for "giving by measure" would mean He had only given a portion of His Spirit—and yet He cannot cut Himself off like that. He cannot divide Himself into portions. He is who He is, and He cannot deny or remove any part of Himself.

As it says in the book of 2 Timothy:

“This is a faithful saying:

For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself” (2 Timothy 2:11-13 NKJV).

So, God the Holy Spirit is in you by faith. Everything He IS is in you by faith, and everything He can do is in you by that same faith.

So, are you ready to pray? Pray as follows:

• Tell the Father that you come to Him in Jesus’ name. Thank Him for giving you His Holy Spirit through faith.
• Thank Him for living inside of you by His Spirit, and through your faith in Jesus.
• Thank Him that His Holy Spirit has given you spiritual gifts, anointing, and a calling in Him.
• Thank Him that His gifts and callings are irrevocable. He will never take His gifts or calling away from you!
• Ask Him to help you remember that He is always with you.
• Ask Him to help you become more and more aware of His Spirit within you every day.
• Ask Him to help you become more sensitive to the leading of His Spirit every day.
• Pray that He would give you the sense of honor and respect for His Spirit that He desires you to have, so that you may guard and protect your relationship with the Holy Spirit, and never grieve Him.
• Give Him all the praise for dwelling within you by your faith in Christ Jesus!

Beloved, if you have given your life to Jesus Christ, you have received the promise of God’s Holy Spirit by faith.

Will you commune with Him today? Will you walk and talk with Him? Will you depend on Him for everything? I hope you will, for He is eagerly waiting for you to do just that!
