Do you ever feel isolated? The Christian is never isolated, they have the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide them and empower them. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." — Romans 8:14-15 NLT Because of this, we do important things by God's powerful presence, the Holy Spirit living in us and empowering us. We speak and we serve by the inspiration and power of the Spirit. The gifts that we are given come from the Holy Spirit — that's what the term "spiritual gifts" means. The Spirit gives each of us appropriate gifts to use in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:4-7). This brings glory to God — Father, Son, and Spirit — because God is the source and the strength of all of the good that we do. We are God's empowered army, fighting Satan and defending our siblings.
