Power of the Holy Ghost

Heard a message the other day on the Holy Ghost, I guess it never was presented in this way before to me. It had such a profound effect on me. I really believe until now, I wasn’t ready for it. I have been asking this Question for the past 4 years.
“Is this all there is to the Christian life.”
Going to Church, being a good Christian, keeping the principals of God’s word. Experiencing trials and disappointments without really seeing a better view of life. How come I don’t live in the blessing of God! Well through this process I have been shown that the blessing of God comes with the laying down of your self, dying daily to self. Oh I thought I did this, until the count it all joy trials started. There was not joy at first, but it has become that as the years have passed by.
UNTIL you realize that you cannot function in this life without the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. The same power that Christ asked for, we cannot really understand the power of Joy in trials.
I was finally there, then, I heard this message, that spoke the very words.
“Is there more to the Christian life.” Yes much more, He went on to say: When we start calling, asking and relying on the Holy Spirit. He said, we could have the Holy Spirit power to work in us and through us, and ahead of us. Everyday we need to keep filling our cup so that it is always full, and the Holy Spirit is the one speaking, and doing, not us. So, that we are not operating in our self anymore. We do not have to figure this life out. God has already done that. We are to be the vehicle for the joy. This really struck a nerve with me. I was ready to do this. I am at a point in life; I cannot do this life in my power. So I jumped in and it is making all the difference.
