The Power of the Holy Spirit Living Inside Us
Believing in the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives compels us to live with a supernatural mindset. When the speaker visited the deli, interacted in a hospital waiting room, and engaged with a fellow dad at a pool, he reflected on missed opportunities to represent Jesus and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Presenting the idea that the Holy Spirit lives within believers, he emphasizes the need to be conscious of this reality in every interaction, conversations, and moments of daily life. Encouraging obedience to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, he prompts listeners to be bold and intentional, allowing the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) to be evident in their lives.
Recognizing the Presence of God in Everyday Situations
The speaker highlights his experiences at the deli and in a hospital waiting room as opportunities missed to acknowledge the presence of God in everyday situations. He reflects on the interaction at the deli where the person making his sandwich seemed interested in something different about him. Wondering what could have happened if he had shifted the conversation towards acknowledging the presence of God, he encourages listeners to be aware that Jesus is with them in every circumstance. Instead of seeing their lives as ordinary, they should view themselves as carriers of the presence of God, creating opportunities for spiritual conversations and impacting others.
Living Out the Presence of God in Practical Ways
Throughout the podcast, the speaker narrates instances where he had prompts from the Holy Spirit but hesitated to take action. He shares a story of being in a hospital waiting room filled with scared and sick patients and feeling prompted to offer prayer, but not acting on it. Similarly, he recalls a moment by the pool where he felt a nudge from the Holy Spirit to encourage another dad but initially hesitated. Encouraging listeners to be bold, he urges them to lean into these prompts, trust the work of the Holy Spirit, and allow God to use them in practical ways to impact and show love to those around them.
Living Naturally Supernatural
The speaker challenges listeners to embrace their identity as carriers of the Holy Spirit, living a life that is naturally supernatural. He encourages them to engage in conversations about faith and spirituality, not in an awkward or forced manner, but with a genuine desire to share the love of Jesus. By recognizing the supernatural presence of God within them, listeners are encouraged to let the Holy Spirit guide their interactions, allowing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to flow naturally and uniquely through their lives. Ultimately, the speaker calls for a paradigm shift, where believers fully embrace the reality that Jesus is with them always, empowering them to make a difference in the lives of those they encounter.
