The Spirit of God as Provision










Many believers love God deeply yet quietly struggle in their minds, relationships, finances, and prayer lives.

Scripture reveals that these struggles are not signs of failure — they are invitations to cooperate with the Spirit God has already given.

Weak prayer life or inability to prayDryness, lack of words, spiritual fatigueIntercession; help in weaknessRomans 8:26“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”“Holy Spirit, take over my weakness and pray through me now according to the will of God.”



But what happens when opposition comes — when storms, attacks, and resistance rise? Scripture does not leave believers unarmed.

Manifesting God’s Glory: A Choice Between Power and Passivity

  The Bible teaches that believers are the salt of the earth —a vital force meant to preserve, influence, and illuminate the world. Jesus warns in Matthew 5:13 : "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." This verse presents a sobering reality: believers have a choice to either remain effective and impactful or become ineffective and trampled upon . This principle is reinforced throughout Scripture, where we see those who boldly displayed God’s power and those who hid away in fear or compromise . Let’s explore examples of those who manifested God’s power versus those who remained passive , and the implications of both choices. 1.
