Today’s devotion nugget is from John 14:26  (AMP)

The Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.

Didáskō is the Greek word translated here as ‘teach’. The literal translation is broader than the word ‘teach’, it includes training, preparing, making ready and imparting the necessary ability. 

A more literal translation for what Jesus actually told the disciples is – ‘He will supernaturally enable you to do all things’ 

We cannot do the great commission in our strength and ability. We cannot fulfill our calling in life in our ability. The Father intends to enable us so that we can do all things through the anointed one and His anointing – In the Name of Jesus by the enabling of the Holy Spirit.

Philippians 4:12-13 

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 

‘Christ’ refers to Jesus and the Anointing of the Holy Spirit… ‘The Anointed One and His anointing’. You can do anything assigned to you in the Name of Jesus by the enabling ability and power of the Holy Spirit.

The Passion Translation says it this way,

‘I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.’

How do we access the power of the Holy Spirit as a Spirit filled believer?

We access His miracle working power as we receive impartation out of our relationship with the person of the Holy Spirit by grace through faith…

Pray this prayer,

“Thank You Holy Spirit for your enabling power to live right and to be successful in my calling, I now receive the fruit of Your Spirit as well as the necessary gifts from you for successful living and for successful ministry, in Jesus Name!”

Ephesians 3:16, 20 (AMPC)

May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. Now to Him Who, by the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams].

 The person of the Holy Spirit wants to help, enable and empower you to have successful relationships, to live free from all ungodliness, to be His anointed representatives on earth. Receive His enabling power today!

Let the Holy Spirit help you in your relationships, in your personal life and in your ministry. Let the Holy Spirit help you in your personal struggles, let Him help you overcome hindrances and let him help you to cross the bridges in your life that you have never been able to cross before. He is here to help you and to get you to where you have never gone before!
