Streaming the Holy Spirit

“Walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts].” (Galatians 5:16 AMP)

Over the last few years, technology has changed the way we consume media. Music, videos, and audio programs are now easily accessible through streaming. When you ‘stream’ a movie or a song, you don’t own it. You temporarily get to enjoy it, and then it disappears from your devices.  Some people choose not to use streaming services. They prefer to have full rights over their media--to have control over when and where they get to use it.

When the Holy Spirit streams into our lives, we are filled with God’s presence. We cannot possess, control, or stockpile the power of the Spirit. Those who like to remain in control often opt out--choosing not to be in the flow. They prefer to be left to their own devices. Others choose to be responsive to Divine guidance. They put themselves in the path of the Spirit. All control is abandoned. The Holy Spirit floods their lives and takes over. Every aspect of their being is moved by the will of God.

Holy Spirit, stream into our lives. May Your glory rest upon us, influencing who we are and what we do. Renew us. Restore us.
