Holy spirit dwell in me.

 Amen. This is the most important invitation a believer can extend. To ask the Holy Spirit to dwell in you is to welcome the very presence of God into the core of your being—your counselor, comforter, guide, and the seal of your salvation.

This is not merely a hopeful wish; it is a promised reality for every person who belongs to Christ.

"You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ." - Romans 8:9 (NIV)

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own." - 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)

What Does It Mean for the Holy Spirit to Dwell in You?

It means God Himself takes up residence within you. This is a permanent, indwelling presence that:

· Seals You for Salvation: He is God's mark of ownership and guarantee of your eternal inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14).

· Transforms You: He convicts of sin, produces spiritual fruit (love, joy, peace, etc.), and gradually makes you more like Christ (Galatians 5:22-23).

· Guides You: He leads you into all truth, teaches you, and reminds you of God's Word (John 14:26).

· Empowers You: He gives you spiritual gifts to serve the church and be a witness to the world (Acts 1:8).

· Prays for You: He intercedes for you according to God's will when you don't know how to pray (Romans 8:26-27).

A Prayer for the Holy Spirit to Dwell in You

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the gift of Your Holy Spirit. Your Word promises that if I belong to Christ, Your Spirit lives in me. I receive that truth by faith today.

I open every door of my heart. I invite Your Holy Spirit to dwell in me fully. Come and take full possession of my life.

· Fill every room of my heart—my thoughts, my desires, my will, and my emotions.

· Be the source of my life. Be my breath, my guide, my comfort, and my strength.

· Sanctify this temple. Cleanse me from anything that displeases You. Make my heart a holy dwelling place fit for Your presence.

· Produce Your fruit in me. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—let these grow abundantly in the soil of my soul.

· Lead me and teach me. Speak to me through Your Word. Guide my steps and my decisions.

I surrender control. I welcome Your presence. Dwell in me, Holy Spirit. I am Yours.

In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

A Poem: "Dwell in Me"

"Dwell in Me"

This earthly vessel, fragile, weak, A humble dwelling,poor and meek. But it’s the temple You chose to own, To make Your presence,love, and throne.

So come, O Holy Spirit, come, And make my heart Your constant home. Dwell in me, and never depart, Rule every corner of my heart.

Breathe in me Your breath of life, Calm my inner stress and strife. Be the fire that burns within, Consuming every trace of sin.

Be the water, deep and pure, A cleansing,living, endless cure. Be the light that shines so bright, Chasing out the darkest night.

Let Your fruit grow on my branch, In every circumstance. Let Your gifts through me now flow, So all Your goodness I may show.

I am not my own, I am Yours, This truth my spirit now adores. So dwell in me,and I in Thee, For all eternity.
