Summary: A life filled with the Holy Spirit begins with small things, such as praying for your Church, tithing, sharing your testimony, studying the Word of God, and praying for the sick. We don't need to be great evangelists or pastors, but every believer who has the Holy Spirit within them has God's authority to pray and do the works of God. Gifts are developed through use and obedience, so we should seize the opportunities that God puts in our path to be useful servants. God will anoint us with His Power, and we will see incredible capacities activated to unify people and do great works of liberation.

We continue with our study of the life filled with the Holy Spirit and how God leads us to have that experience of receiving that infusion of power, that visitation with the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and we are seeing it through the life of King Saul .

We see this journey through which God takes this man whom He wants to use and puts him in contact with people filled with the Holy Spirit, people who know the mysteries of the Spirit, who have been in those places where God dwells with power and It leads him to become infected with that force that these men, God's prophets, exemplify.

And we have seen how God wants to fall on our life with power, he wants to fall on our life in a manifest way, in a supernatural and dynamic way, and not only in a quiet and peaceful way but also in a storm, and with God's dynamism. . And we see that when God manifests himself in our life the gifts of the Lord begin to flow supernaturally as they did in the case of Saul.

We also see that we are changed. Our personality begins to change and the power and qualities of the Holy Spirit begin to manifest in us, and then it is expected that with that anointing of God that now dwells within us, we will take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way to do works. that God wants us to carry out.

And you know what? A life filled with the Holy Spirit does not have to begin with multitudinous works or with great manifestations of Evangelism, but it can begin with small things in your Church, when you serve the Lord in those small things that God opens your way. I think that for example, one of the smallest things that one can do in a Church but so useful is to pray for its Congregation, pray for its Pastors, pray for its leaders. If you can't do anything else, you can start praying in the Power of the Holy Spirit and believing that God is going to use those prayers, those intercessions to bless your Church and your leaders.

Another thing you can do is tithe and support your Church with your money, that is also a work that we can do supernaturally. We can ask the Lord to multiply the monies that we share for the advancement of the Lord's Work.

Many people will not initially be qualified to preach or to teach a Bible class but they can give money, they can give their tithe which is what God expects us to give, the minimum we should give to support the Kingdom of God.

We can testify in our jobs of what God has done in our lives. Perhaps you cannot preach a great sermon that applies to crowds, but you can share with a friend, with your relatives what God has done in your life. We can all invite someone to come to Church and believe that by doing so, God's authority and God's conviction will fall on those people whom we invite to seek Him. And we can share our testimony, simply what God It has made in my life the change that I have experienced when I have allowed Christ to enter my heart.

We can also begin to study the Word of God, because the Word of God has power and when it enters our lives, activated by the Power of the Holy Spirit that is in us, it opens and begins to do great and transforming things.

We can start praying for the sick as well. Around us there are many sick, depressed, sad people, oppressed by the enemy, and with the Power of God that is in us we can do the works of God and pray. We do not have to be great evangelists or great Pastors, but every believer who has the Holy Spirit within him or her has God's authority to pray.

I have seen women who are not educated, very humble, very simple, they hardly know how to read or write and yet they have the fullness of the Holy Spirit and are an example for me of an exemplary piety that exemplifies the anointing and the Power of God, because what What matters is the Presence of God in us. God does not need so much our intellectual knowledge or our physical strength, or our appearance as He simply needs the submission to His Spirit and the pursuit of His Power, and the humility that allows His Power to manifest through our efforts. There are many things you can do to bring the Presence of the Holy Spirit to work.

If you are a believer who has received God's anointing, then do whatever comes your way. Do as little or as much as you give. Gifts are developed through use, gifts are developed through obedience, they are developed through seizing the opportunities that God puts in our path.

We do not have to go to a distant continent to preach to multitudes who are in the midst of ignorance. All around us there are many opportunities that God wants to put in our hands to be useful servants, and all we need is availability and alert eyes to see that the fields are white for harvest.

If we believe that God has anointed us with His Power, then we will not lack opportunities to be greatly used by Him, even with all the imperfections that we will have as King Saul had. And we will see later that when Saul experiences that visitation of the Power of God, certainly something happens and an incredible capacity is activated to unify the people and do great works of liberation to that nation that needs the Power of God. God bless you and until our next meditation.
