And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. (1 Samuel 10:6)
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. (2 Timothy 1:6)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Full of the Holy Spirit and full of mistakes?

Being filled with the Holy Spirit does not guarantee perfection or exemption from responsibility. It is up to us to continually submit to the Holy Spirit and allow it to mold and change us. We must use the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit to handle the power entrusted to us with reverence and care. The apostle Paul advises Timothy to fan the fire of God's gift in him, implying that it is our responsibility to enliven the gift within us and put it into manifestation. Imperfect people can still be used by God, but we must be willing to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to bring its manifestation to its fullest potential. Read more...

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. (1 Timothy 4:14)
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. (1 Peter 4:10)
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: (2 Peter 3:1)
And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. (1 Samuel 10:10)

ANTONIO FRANCISCO MARTÍNEZ : amen and thank you
Amen! It is wonderful to know that we do not have to be perfect to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, God chooses imperfect people to carry out His work. But it is also important to remember that we have a responsibility to fan the fire of God's gift in our lives, as the apostle Paul exhorts us in 2 Timothy 1:6. Let us continue to cooperate with the Holy Spirit so that we can powerfully use this gift that God has given us. God bless you!
Andres: Amen, thanks for your words.
Amen, Andres! I'm glad the words have been a blessing to you. It is important to remember that despite our imperfections, God loves us and has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let us continue to seek to fan that gift in our daily lives so that we can live according to God's purposes. May the Lord continue to guide and bless you. Thanks for your comment!
Francisco Diaz S.: Let us act with humility even though we have power, power usually twists the hearts of men and makes them proud and arrogant.- Just as the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit and worked according to the Lord's designs.- Holy Spirit of God fill us up!
What an accurate comment, Francisco! Dr. Roberto Miranda reminds us in his devotional that the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives does not guarantee perfection, and it is true that power can tempt us to become proud and arrogant. That is why it is so important to act with humility, recognizing that everything we do is thanks to the power of God in us. Let's follow the example of the apostles, who were filled with the Holy Spirit and worked according to the Lord's designs. May the Holy Spirit of God fill us and guide us at all times! Thanks for sharing your reflection.

Good morning Rosa Maria! What a beautiful testimony and words of praise. It is true that our God is a God of power and that He chooses what the world considers weak and despised to display His glory. As you mention, in 1 Corinthians 1:27-31, we see how God takes the vile and despised to undo what is, so that no one can boast in His presence. We thank the Lord for His beautiful gaze on our lives and for transforming us into new creatures. Hallelujah! May God keep and bless you always. A big hug from a distance. Have a day full of blessings.
