Under the Influence of the Holy Spirit: June 16 Devotional
Today’s devotional reflects on Ephesians 5:18 and Romans 8:14, which compare the Holy Spirit to wine. This analogy shows how the Spirit controls our thoughts, speech, and actions when we are filled with Him. Spiritual leading requires spiritual fullness. A believer cannot stay consistently guided by God while remaining empty. When the Holy Spirit fills us, our senses become spirit-enhanced, we discern beyond the natural, and our thoughts align with God’s. Staying under the Spirit’s influence is a daily process of prayer, worship, and meditating on God’s Word. The more we seek fullness, the clearer God’s voice becomes amid life’s distractions. Reflect on these questions: Am I living under the Spirit’s influence every day? Do my choices reflect spiritual sensitivity? Do I make time for prayer and Scripture? Let us pray for fresh filling and yield ourselves to God’s leading. Amen.
