Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 (NKJV)
A common question many parents ask is: “How can we make sure we raise great kids?” There are so many principles in God ‘s Word about training the next generation, but one thing comes to mind immediately. Parents who spend time with Holy Spirit are leaps and bounds ahead before any other principle is applied.
When you spend time with Holy Spirit, it is noticeable to those around you. People noticed a difference in Peter and John because they had been with Jesus. In exactly the same way, Holy Spirit brings us such strength and power that it is outwardly visible.
To develop awesome relationships, time with Holy Spirit is absolutely vital. Among all of the relationship advice out there, He leads you to the truth and can show you how to sense each person’s unique needs. Without Holy Spirit, parenting great kids in a world of bad influences may seem impossible. With Him, you can create a loving, fun family that produces amazing kids!
Teens do not need to go through a period of time where they rebel, experiment with drugs, alcohol, promiscuity or fall away from their relationship with God. On another note, marriages do not need to grow cold with time either. We can expect so much more.
Today, spend time with Holy Spirit. When you connect with Him regularly, His presence radiates out to everyone you meet and you carry His love with you everywhere you go.
