The Holy Spirit: We Need Him More and More

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. --John 14:26

I have reason to suspect that many people are trying to give leadership in Christian churches today without ever having yielded to the wise and effective leading of the Holy Spirit. He truly is the Spirit of wisdom, understanding and counsel. He alone can bring the gracious presence of the living God into our lives and ministries.

You may think it out of place for me to say so, but in our churches today we are leaning too heavily upon human talents and educated abilities. We forget that the illumination of the Holy Spirit of God is a necessity, not only in our ministerial preparation, but in the administrative and leadership functions of our churches.

We need an enduement of the Spirit of God! We sorely need more of His wisdom, His counsel, His power, His knowledge. We need to reverence and fear the Almighty God. If we knew the full provision and the spiritual anointing that Jesus promised through the Holy Spirit, we would be far less dependent on so many other things.... I have said it before, and I say it now: We need the Holy Spirit more and more, and we need human helps less and less! Jesus Is Victor!, 48.

"Lord, we're drowning in human helps, modern methods, business principles, and growth strategies. But in all too many cases I fear that we are indeed lacking the enduement of the Spirit of God. Send us to our knees, Lord, that we might be reminded that we need Him more and more. Amen."

 Re: Tozer Daily Devotional

Thank you for posting this. Tozer is one of my favorites and I had no idea they had put his writings into a daily devotional. I searched and found a link to his daily's. I am excited to add him to my favorites. Again, thank you!

In His role as Advocate; the Holy Spirit pleads
our cause before the throne of grace.
In His role as Comforter; the Holy Spirit assures
us of the riches of the Father's mercies.
In His role as Counselor; the Holy Spirit guides
us into the knowledge of the truth and helps us
to understand GOD'S wisdom.
In His role as Intercessor; the Holy Spirit gives
voice to our yearnings for deliverance and redemption.
