“The Holy Spirit Helps Me Share Jesus with Others”
📖 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me…” —Acts 1:8a (NKJV)
Sharing your faith isn’t always easy. You might worry about what people will think. You might feel unsure how to start the conversation. You might fear saying the wrong thing. Or you may feel unqualified because you’re still growing yourself. But Jesus never asked you to share the gospel in your own strength. He gave you the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit gives you courage when fear tries to silence you. He brings Scriptures to your mind when you need them. He gives you compassion for people who don’t know Christ. He opens doors for conversations you didn’t expect. He helps you speak truth gently, clearly, and boldly. And He uses your words—even the simple ones—to plant seeds in someone’s heart.
Sharing Jesus isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being willing.
And when you step out in faith, the Holy Spirit does the heart-work that you cannot do. He convicts, He draws, He opens eyes, and He softens hearts.
Your job is to share. His job is to transform.
Talk About It:
What holds you back from sharing your faith?
How have you seen the Holy Spirit help you in a conversation about God?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, give me boldness to share Jesus. Fill me with Your love, guide my words, and help me see opportunities to point others to Christ. Use my life and my voice to make You known. Amen.
📖 “Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” —Psalm 96:3 (NKJV)
Every Christian family has a mission—to shine the light of Jesus to the world around them. But sharing Christ doesn’t always feel easy. Sometimes families feel too busy, too unsure, or too afraid to speak about their faith. Other times they feel unqualified or wonder if their example is strong enough.
The Holy Spirit helps your family with all of this.
He gives your home compassion for people who need hope. He creates opportunities to speak about Jesus in natural, simple ways. He gives parents wisdom to lead by example. He gives children and teens boldness to live their faith at school and with friends. He helps your family show patience, kindness, love, and forgiveness— and those things preach louder than words.
The Holy Spirit also works in the hearts of those who see your family. Your home can become a living testimony of God’s grace.
Sharing Jesus as a family doesn’t always mean big moments. It often looks like:
praying for someone together,
inviting someone to church,
helping a neighbor with kindness,
forgiving each other quickly,
speaking hope instead of fear,
or simply living differently because the Spirit is at work in you.
Your family doesn’t have to be perfect—you just need to be available.
When you step out in faith, the Holy Spirit does the rest.
Talk About It Together:
Who is one person or family we can pray for and show Jesus’ love to this week?
How can we let the Holy Spirit guide us as a family in sharing our faith?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help our family share Jesus with boldness and love. Give us opportunities to speak Your truth, hearts that reflect Your kindness, and courage to shine Your light wherever we go. Use our home as a testimony of Your grace. Amen.
From the Series: The Gospel According to the Whole Counsel of God
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” —John 1:14 (NKJV)
When God revealed His plan of salvation, He did not do so through an idea, a philosophy, or a hidden decree. He revealed it in a Person. The eternal Word, who was with God and was God (John 1:1), became flesh and walked among us. In Jesus Christ, the fullness of God’s heart was displayed, and the door of salvation was opened wide to the world.
The apostle John wrote that Jesus is the atoning sacrifice not for our sins only, but also for the whole world (1 John 2:2). The writer of Hebrews declares that Christ tasted death for everyone (Hebrews 2:9). Paul affirms that God reconciled the world to Himself in Christ, not imputing their trespasses against them (2 Corinthians 5:19). Scripture never narrows the reach of the cross. Instead, it magnifies the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice for all who will believe.
An Open Invitation
Throughout His ministry, Jesus invited people from every background to come to Him. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). On the last day of the feast in Jerusalem, He cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink” (John 7:37).
His words leave no room for exclusion. The gospel call is not a whisper for the few but a shout for the nations. Whoever comes to Christ by faith will not be cast out (John 6:37).
The Witness of the Early Church
Polycarp of Smyrna, a disciple of the apostle John, wrote to the Philippians, urging them to remain steadfast in Christ. His letter reflects the same open gospel we see in Scripture: a call to faith, repentance, and perseverance. He reminded them that Jesus bore our sins in His own body on the tree and that those who believe in Him shall live forever.
The early Church did not preach a narrow salvation. Under persecution and hardship, they proclaimed a gospel that could reach every slave, soldier, merchant, widow, and child. Their confidence was not in a system but in the Savior who died and rose again for the whole world.
The Word Made Flesh for You
The incarnation of Christ is God’s testimony that He desires to be known. He drew near, clothed Himself in human flesh, and walked among us so that no one could say, “God is too far off, too hidden, too unreachable.” In Jesus, we see the Father’s glory, His compassion, and His truth revealed.
If Christ is the atonement for the whole world, then He is sufficient for you. His invitation is open, His call is clear: Come, believe, and live.
Reflection Questions
How does the truth that Jesus died for the whole world shape the way you see God’s love for you personally?
What do Christ’s open invitations (“Come to Me, all…” and “If anyone thirsts…”) reveal about His heart?
How might the testimony of Polycarp and the early believers encourage you to trust Christ more fully?
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for coming in the flesh to reveal the Father’s heart. Thank You for dying not for a few, but for the world, and for inviting all who are weary to find rest in You. Help me to believe Your words without doubt and to share Your open invitation with others. Strengthen me, as You did the early believers, to stand firm in the truth that You are the Savior of all who will come. Amen.
“The Holy Spirit Empowers Me to Share Jesus Boldly and Tenderly”
📖 “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.” —1 Corinthians 2:4 (NKJV)
Many women long to share Jesus with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and with anyone God places in their life.
But sharing Christ can sometimes feel intimidating. What if the person reacts poorly? What if your words stumble? What if you don’t know enough? What if emotion gets in the way?
The truth is freeing. You are not responsible for the results—only for your obedience. And the Holy Spirit supplies everything you lack.
He gives you tenderness when the moment is sensitive. He gives you boldness when the moment requires courage. He gives you clarity when your thoughts feel scattered. He brings Scripture to your mind exactly when you need it. He aligns your heart with God’s heart for the person you’re speaking to. He prepares their heart long before you say a word. He transforms your simple, sincere conversation into a seed of truth and hope.
Sharing Jesus isn’t a performance. It’s a partnership with the Holy Spirit.
When you speak, He works. When you sow, He waters. When you obey, He empowers.
Your willingness is enough—He handles the rest.
Reflect:
Who in your life might the Holy Spirit be nudging you to share Jesus with?
What fears hold you back—and how is the Spirit inviting you to trust Him?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, empower me to share Jesus with gentleness and courage. Give me the right words, the right moment, and a heart full of Your love. Prepare the hearts of those around me and let my life point them to Christ. Help me trust You with every conversation. Amen.
“The Holy Spirit Helps Me Tell Others About Jesus”
📖 “You shall be witnesses to Me.” —Acts 1:8b (NKJV)
Talking about Jesus can feel exciting, but it can also feel a little scary.
What if people don’t listen? What if they laugh? What if you don’t know what to say?
Jesus knew we would need help, and that’s why He gave us the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit helps you be brave when you share your faith. He gives you the right words at the right time. He helps you tell the truth about Jesus with kindness and love. He helps you live in a way that shows others what Jesus is like. He reminds you that you don’t have to do it alone—God is with you.
When you talk about Jesus, you are shining His light, and the Holy Spirit helps your light shine bright.
Talk About It:
Who is someone you can tell about Jesus?
How can the Holy Spirit help you share God’s love with them?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me tell others about Jesus. Give me the words to say and the courage I need. Let my life show Your love every day. Amen.
📖 “Be strong and of good courage… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” —Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)
Everyone feels scared sometimes—starting something new, talking to someone new, doing the right thing when no one else is, or facing something that feels big and hard.
But you never face these moments alone. The Holy Spirit helps you be brave.
He reminds you that God is with you. He helps you stand up for what’s right. He gives you courage to try new things. He helps you speak kindly even when you’re nervous. He fills your heart with peace when fear tries to take over.
Being brave doesn’t mean you stop feeling afraid. It means you trust the Holy Spirit more than your fear. With His help, you can walk into any situation knowing that God is beside you, behind you, before you, and within you.
Talk About It:
What is something that feels scary to you?
How can the Holy Spirit help you be brave in that moment?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me be brave. When I feel scared or unsure, remind me that You are with me. Give me courage to do what is right and trust You every day. Amen.
“The Holy Spirit Gives Me Courage to Stand Strong”
📖 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” —2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
Fear comes in many forms. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of standing out, fear of not being enough, fear of doing the right thing when others won’t.
These fears can feel heavy and overwhelming. But God has not given you a spirit of fear. He has given you the Holy Spirit, your source of courage.
The Holy Spirit gives you boldness to stand for truth when it’s unpopular. He strengthens you to resist pressure from others. He gives you peace when your mind races with “what ifs.” He helps you face difficult conversations and uncomfortable moments with confidence. He reminds you of who you are in Christ when fear tries to define you.
Courage doesn’t come from pretending everything is fine. Courage comes from knowing the Holy Spirit is with you, working in you, and empowering you. You may feel weak, but He is strong. You may feel uncertain, but He is steady. You may feel afraid, but He is your courage.
When you trust the Spirit more than your fear, you begin to walk in the boldness God created you for.
Talk About It:
What fear is the Holy Spirit helping you face right now?
How has He given you courage in a moment you didn’t expect?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, give me courage in every situation I face. Help me stand strong in truth, overcome fear with faith, and trust You when I feel unsure. Fill me with Your strength and help me walk boldly with Jesus. Amen.
“The Holy Spirit Gives Me Courage for Every Season”
📖 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” —Psalm 27:1a (NKJV)
Courage looks different in different seasons of a woman’s life.
Sometimes courage means facing a difficult conversation. Sometimes it means letting go of something God is asking you to release. Sometimes it means stepping into a new season that feels unfamiliar. Sometimes it means trusting God with a situation completely outside your control. And sometimes courage means simply getting up and trying again.
But here is the truth: You do not create courage on your own. The Holy Spirit is the One who strengthens your heart.
He reminds you that God is your protector and peace. He steadies you when anxiety rises. He gives you boldness to obey even when it feels risky. He whispers truth when fear speaks loudly. He stands with you in moments when you feel alone. He fills you with supernatural peace when circumstances feel overwhelming.
Courage is not the absence of fear— it is the presence of the Holy Spirit.
You can face the unknown because He goes before you. You can walk through hard moments because He strengthens you. You can stand firm because He keeps your heart anchored in God’s promises.
The Holy Spirit does not simply give courage; He is your courage.
Reflect:
What situation in your life right now requires courage?
How is the Holy Spirit strengthening you to walk through it with faith?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, fill my heart with courage today. Calm my fears, steady my steps, and help me walk boldly in the strength You give. Thank You for going before me, standing beside me, and giving me confidence in every season of life. Amen.
📖 “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid… for the Lord your God goes with you.” —Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV)
Every family faces moments that require courage—big decisions, uncertain seasons, changes in routine, difficult conversations, or challenges that affect everyone differently. Sometimes fear shows up quietly—through stress, worry, or hesitation. Other times it feels loud—through conflict, uncertainty, or emotional pressure. But God has not left your family to face these moments alone. The Holy Spirit is present, ready to strengthen each person’s heart.
He gives parents courage to lead with wisdom and trust. He gives children courage to try new things and face challenges. He gives teens courage to stand for truth and walk in integrity. He gives the whole family courage to move forward when life feels unclear.
Courage in a family grows when everyone leans on the Holy Spirit—when you pray together, encourage each other, and remind one another that God is with you.
Fear may try to divide, discourage, or overwhelm your home— but the Spirit brings unity, strength, and confidence.
A courageous family isn’t fearless— it’s a family that trusts the Holy Spirit more than their fears.
Talk About It Together:
What is one thing our family needs courage for right now?
How can we help each other trust the Holy Spirit in that situation?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, give our family courage. Help us face challenges together with faith and not fear. Strengthen our hearts, guide our steps, and remind us that You are always with us. Fill our home with Your peace, unity, and confidence. Amen.
📖 “Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” —Luke 6:37b (NKJV)
Forgiving someone isn’t always easy. Sometimes people hurt your feelings, break a promise, or do something unkind. When that happens, your heart might feel sad, angry, or upset.
But the Holy Spirit helps you forgive—just like Jesus forgives you.
He softens your heart when you feel mad. He reminds you that everyone makes mistakes. He helps you let go of anger. He gives you peace when you choose to forgive. He helps you love people—even when they’ve hurt you.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean the hurt didn’t matter. It means you’re trusting God to heal your heart and help the other person too. When you forgive, your heart feels lighter—and the Holy Spirit helps you grow more like Jesus.
Talk About It:
Has anyone ever hurt your feelings?
How can the Holy Spirit help you forgive them?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, please help me forgive others. When my heart feels hurt, make it soft again. Help me let go of anger and choose love like Jesus does. Amen.
