When the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Galatians 5.22-23
You can’t see the wind, but you can see it sway the trees. You can’t see the Holy Spirit, but you can tell that he is at work inside you. His presence in everyone who believes in Jesus is a fact.(Eph 1.13)
And look at some of the great ways you can watch him help you grow. He makes you sure that God loves you.(Rom 5.5) He helps you know Jesus better.(Eph 3.19) He sets you free from sin.(Rom 8.2) He teaches you right from wrong(Jn 16.8) and builds character in you.(Gal 5.22-23) He equips you with talents, abilities, and spiritual gifts so you can serve God.(1Cor 12.4,11) When you see those things beginning to happen in you, that’s proof that the Holy Spirit is present in your life.
If you want to see more of the Holy Spirit’s work in you or your family? Pray the following prayer from Ephesians 3.16-19.
“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources God will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvellous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how high, and how deep his love really is... Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”
