Blessed Father, may I know Your Holy Spirit by Having Him within me. May His witness to Jesus be divinely clear and mighty in my life. May His leading and sanctifying be in holy power. May His indwelling in my spirit be in such truth and life that the consciousness of Him as my life may be as sure as my natural life. Lord God, teach me and all Your people to know Your Spirit - to know that He is in us, to know Him as He reveals the Son and glorifies You as our Father. Amen

Lord, I ask that the Spirit witness to me of Christ Jesus. May the truth of His atonement and blood dwell in me, and I in it. May His life and glory be truth in me, a living experience of His presence and power. My Father, may the Spirit of Your Son be my life. May each word of Your Son through Him be made true in me. I thank You once again, my Father, that the Spirit dwells within me. Grant that He may work mightily in me. May all Your people know their privilege and rejoice that the Holy Spirit within them reveals Christ as truth in them. Amen

Blessed Lord Jesus, I do rejoice that I can have a fellowship more real, more near, more tender, and more effectual than if You were still here on earth. I thank You that Your Holy Spirit dwells within me and helps me to know what that fellowship is. Teach me in the fullness of faith to believe in You, from whom the fresh anointing flows and fills my life. Grant that the church may be awakened to know that the Spirit's indwelling is the secret of her enjoyment of Your presence and the power for fulfilling her calling. May Your abiding presence be my keeper and guide and friend. Amen

Lord Jesus, teach us to maintain our closeness to You. Make our hearts and lives Yours alone. Teach us to hold fast our confidence that the Spirit who is within us will perfect His work. Above all, teach us to yield ourselves in ever-increasing dependence and emptiness to wait for the Spirit's teaching and leading. We desire to have no confidence in the flesh - its wisdom or its righteousness. Blessed Lord, let Your Spirit rise in great power and have dominion within us. May our hearts, by Him, be made the temple and the kingdom, in which You alone are glorified, in which Your glory fills all. Amen

Lord Jesus, make Your church aware of the knowledge of her calling. May the world believe that the Father sent You and lov4es them as He loves You, His Son. Lord Jesus, lay the burden of the sin of the world on the hearts of Your people. May we live to be members of Your body in whom Your Spirit dwells and proves Your presence to the world. Take away everything that hinders You from manifesting Your presence and saving power in us. Lord Jesus, Your Spirit is come to us to convince the world. Let Him come and work in ever-growing power. Amen

My Father, I dedicate myself to You, to live and work, to pray and toil, to sacrifice and suffer for Your kingdom. I accept by faith the wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit, the very Spirit of Christ, and yield myself to His indwelling. Give Your children the strength of the Holy Spirit, so that Christ may possess our hearts and lives. May our desire be that the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen

Beloved Lord Jesus, I humbly ask You to make clear to us the blessed secret of the life of the Spirit. Teach us what it means to become dead to the law, so that our service of God is no longer in the oldness of the letter. Blessed Master, teach me to serve You in the newness and the liberty of the Spirit of life. Teach me to yield myself in large and whole-hearted faith to the Holy Spirit, so that my life may be lived in the glorious liberty of the children of God. Amen

Father, I yield myself to You as Your child, in everything, to be led by Your Spirit. I forsake my own wisdom, my own will, my own way. Daily I wait in deep dependence on guidance from above. May my spirit be hushed in silence before Your Holy Spirit, while I wait to let Him rule within me. As I, through the Spirit, make dead the deeds of the body, may I be transformed by the renewing of my mind to know Your good and perfect will. May my whole being be so under the rule of the indwelling, sanctifying Spirit, that the spiritual understanding of Your will may indeed be the rule of my life. Amen
