I Am a Witness – Chapter 8 Daily Dependence on the Holy Spirit | Dr. Kenny Russell
The believer’s life was never designed to be lived alone. In Chapter 8 of I Am a Witness – The Search Is Over , “Daily Dependence on the Holy Spirit,” I share how I discovered that following Yeshua was never meant to depend upon my own strength, discipline, or ability. The Holy Spirit came not as an occasional visitor, but to make His home within us - to be our Teacher, Counselor, Comforter, Guide, and constant Companion. “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Galatians 5:25 This chapter also explores how prayer becomes relationship rather than religious duty . As a young believer, prayer became an ongoing conversation with my Heavenly Father—in my morning Bible reading, at school, working, running, or simply going about everyday life. One question has become especially important to me: Not, “How much time did I spend praying today?” But, “How aware was I of His presence today?” One measures performance. The other measures relationship. Through more than forty years of walking with Yeshua, I have learned that dependence is not weakness. It is where faith grows. Sometimes the Father doesn't immediately change our circumstances; He changes us as we learn to trust Him within them. Prayer has never simply been about receiving answers. It has been about discovering the heart of the One who answers. My prayer is that this chapter encourages you to stop carrying what the Holy Spirit never asked you to carry alone and rediscover the simplicity of daily dependence upon Him.
