Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. -1 Corinthians 12:1-3
Faith itself is a miracle. Left up to our own human devices, we would always turn away from God. The Bible actually tells us that no one seeks God, not even one. And here, in this passage the Apostle Paul shares that anyone who even accepts Jesus as God can only do so because their hearts and minds have been touched by the Holy Spirit.
If you believe in Jesus, that’s because the Holy Spirit has touched your heart. If you’re struggling to believe, it’s because the Holy Spirit is working on your heart helping you to even want to believe.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving today, let us give thanks to God and His Holy Spirit for touching our hearts. We can’t even have faith without the Holy Spirit’s help.
