We are living in a time when many things have moved away from established standards and godly norms. Morality is no longer guided by absolute truth; instead, people pursue whatever brings them satisfaction and personal pleasure. It was into a similarly uncertain world that Jesus spoke to His disciples about His departure. Yet, He did not leave them without hope—He promised to send the Holy Spirit.
The very first thing the Spirit did was enable them.
Enablement is one of the greatest gifts the Holy Spirit offers believers.
Despite it being a new month and a new week, I began this season feeling weary and tired—not emotionally, but physically. My body felt drained and overworked, even though I had done very little.
As the day progressed, it became a concern to me. Why do I feel so exhausted?
So I began declaring God's Word over myself: I am strengthened by the Lord.
That is what God has offered us—enablement.
Therefore, I boldly declare that I can do all things, even when my circumstances suggest otherwise, because it is Christ who strengthens me. He enables us to have difficult conversations, to walk away from relationships that are not God-centered, to say no to opportunities that seem attractive but are not His will, and to choose the desires of the Spirit over the desires of the flesh.
God is our Enabler.
This season, the Lord desires to enable us to walk in alignment with His will. He understands that the devices of the crafty often come disguised as pleasure and self-gratification. The world teaches that the highest form of satisfaction is doing whatever feels good to you. Yet many times, our way is not God's way.
God is saying:
- Introduce Spirit-enabled conversations.
- Build Spirit-enabled marriages.
- Lead Spirit-enabled businesses.
- Influence Spirit-enabled organizations.
- Raise Spirit-enabled nations.
Acts 2:4 (GNT)
"They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak."
The Spirit's enablement is not about entering trances or creating dramatic displays. It is about God impressing His mind upon our minds and giving us the grace to speak and act according to His will. His thoughts become our thoughts through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:18
"In those days I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both men and women, and they will speak what God has revealed."
Today, go forth in the strength of Elohim.
Stay Revived!
