2. More Discipline
3. More Determination

Not a bad list for believers as well.

The 5%
If it is true then that lead me to think. Ummm what is the one thing I really want to stick this year.
I've decided that praying with my spouse every night is really the one thing that I want to do. It used to be a habit, used to be something we did every night before we dosed off but we quit somewhere along the line, but I hope to resurrect the practice and resume it this year. My wife loves it, and it speaks volumes to her. So that's the 5% I hope will stick.
How about you.

Who Are Spirit Filled People
Ken said Pentecostals are .....
- Expectant...... they expect God to do great things.
- Prayerful....Pentecostals should not be afraid to pray about anything. Pray with endurance and practice "praying through".
- Focused....one of the reasons we are so missions minded is the fact that we are focused on souls.
- Godly....Holiness is not a dirty word....but should be desired by Pentecostal people.
- Joyful.....Pentecostals should be full of the joy of the Lord. It's when we look our best.
What a great list! Spirit filled people there should be something different about us that sets us apart. Be filled with the spirit and the the spirit fill your life.

Acknowlege the Holy Spirt Everyday
I've been reading several books concerning the Holy Spirit over the past several days in preparation for this sermon series. One of the best reminders we can have concerning the Holy Spirit is based on Romans 8:27, "He who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." I' don't know about you, but I find the thought of the Spirit of God praying for me according to the will of God extremely comforting. (taken from The Forgotten God by Francis Chan)
Many times I don't know what to pray, how to pray, or what to do. Yet we have a promise that the Holy Spirit knows and when I pray within the confines of the Holy Spirit I'm always praying in the will of God. That is a beautiful promise.
Don't forget your prayer this week,
Dear Holy Spirit,
I need you in my life. I want to know you better. Show me who you are. I need your help in my home, my family, my relationships and in my church. Please fill me with all the power and all the gifts you have for me. Make me more like Jesus. Amen
