Have you ever felt like you’re running on empty? You’re still showing up, doing all the right things, and trying to keep life moving, but deep down, you’re exhausted. What if the problem isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough? What if you’ve been trying to live a Spirit-empowered life on human strength?
In week three of our Ghosted series, Running On Empty, we discover that even the disciples had everything they needed to follow Jesus except the power they needed to fulfill their mission. Before sending them out, Jesus told them to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. Why? Because no matter how powerful the engine is, it won't go very far without fuel.
The same is true for us. We can know about the Holy Spirit, believe in the Holy Spirit, and still spend most of our lives depending on ourselves. But God never intended for us to accomplish a supernatural mission with natural strength.
In this message, we'll discover three important ways to live a Spirit-empowered life: Wait on the Spirit, Welcome the Spirit, and Walk in the Spirit. Because waiting doesn't mean God isn't working, surrender isn't about earning His love, and the Spirit's power isn't about making much of us—it's about helping us make much of Jesus.
You don't have to keep running on yesterday's fill. It's time to stop relying on your own strength and start living in daily dependence on the Holy Spirit. Don't just experience His presence in the room. Learn to walk with Him every day.
