The LORD’s spirit will rest on Him – a spirit that gives extraordinary wisdom, a spirit that provides the ability to execute plans, a spirit that produces absolute loyalty to the LORD. He will take delight in obeying the LORD. He will not judge by mere appearances, or make decisions on the basis of hearsay. He will treat the poor fairly, and make right decisions for the downtrodden of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and order the wicked to be executed.  Isaiah 11:2-4 NET

God, how we thank You for the gift of salvation, which You have given to Your people as a free gift of grace by faith in Jesus Christ. Thank You also, that Holy Spirit has made us alive in Him and placed us into the family of God and the body of Christ.  Yes Lord, thank You, that He has set His seal of ownership upon those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and has taken up residence within our hearts, so as to empower us in our spiritual walk. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
