THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD -- Judges 3:10 NIV
The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, so that he became Israel's judge and
went to war. The LORD gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into the hands of
Othniel, who overpowered him.
This phrase, "The Spirit of the Lord came upon him," is used throughout the
Old Testament. At that time, the Holy Spirit did not indwell people as He
does Christians today. But He did "come upon" certain people at critical
times in their lives, giving them strength and energy and spiritual insight
that would help them face particularly difficult challenges. At other
times, the Spirit "came upon" someone to allow them to really get into
worship, as He did with David many times.
As Christians, you and I have the Holy Spirit indwelling us 24 hours a day.
He is in our hearts, our minds, our bodies. He is there as teacher, helper,
friend, defender, intercessor with God. But sometimes you and I need a
boost - a jump-start on our faith or our strength or our energy or our
spiritual insight. At those times, the Spirit of God will "come upon" us in
an even stronger way... making it impossible to ignore His presence...
making the challenge before us much easier to face.
Need help making a major decision? Need assistance in breaking a habit or a
behavior pattern? Need strength to face a crisis? Need clarification of a
Scripture and how to apply it to your life? Need someone to pray for you
when the problem is so overwhelming you don't know what to say? Ask the
Holy Spirit to help you. That's what He's there for. He's just waiting for
you to be open to His assistance.
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to
you." John 14:26 NIV
"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the
Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me."
John 15:26 NIV
