Today’s Affirmation: God has given me a new spirit.
The Spirit of the Lord came upon Ezekiel for him to prophesy to Israel. Ezekiel 11:19 is the source of this affirmation. “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.” (NIV)
Even in the Old Testament God promised to give us a new spirit. In the New Testament Jesus said he must go so we could receive the Holy Spirit. New, fresh, different, caring and HIS.
The new spirit changed them as in 11:20: “Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.” (NIV)
With this new spirit we will desire His ways and we will be His and He will be ours.
- Do you believe God has given you a new spirit?
- Can you welcome this new spirit into yourself and seek its ways?
- Have you ever felt this spirit?
- Do you have a story of change?
May we all get to know this spirit intimately. Seek God, His ways and may we be His and He be ours.
Holy Spirit I want to know you more intimately and thank you for filling me and guiding me with the new spirit You have placed within me.

There is no doubt in my mind that He has given me a new spirit. No doubt. I would not want to be what I once was nor controlled by what I once was. I am thankful for His Spirit and that He continues to work in me and bring it to completion.
Thanks Bill, sooo thankful to know!!
I’m counting on His Spirit in me every day…I’m a (slow) work in progress but it comforts me to know I have a new spirit and that He’ll finish what He started…
Amen Robin. He will finish. So great to know!
