Winning with the Presence of the Holy Spirit During Training
The bible dictionary tells us that the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit. It says that God's Spirit lives within all Christians to help them, communicate God's truth to them, convict them of sin, convince them that God's ways are right, and comforts them when they are sad (John 15:26; 16:7-8, 13-15). The Holy Spirit is also known as the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, the Counselor and the Helper.
God sent the Holy Spirit to guide us after Jesus left the earth (John 14:16-17). The Holy Spirit gives gifts and Godly Characteristics called the fruit of the Spirit (Romans 12:4-13).
Prior to each of my basketball training sessions I pray to God to give me the super natural ability to teach and learn about my students and their needs in ways that can only be explained by yielding to the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to order my words and my steps during training.
The best way that I can explain it: As if I'm the driver of a car on a two lane road and to the left and right of me are huge corn fields and grass but no roads. In the natural, I have the skills and I'm capable of driving and continuing on the road that I can clearly see ahead. But in the super natural way the Holy Spirit speaks to me and He tells me to get ready to turn left up the road. Bare in mind that in the natural, I realize that there's no path that can be taken off the road ahead because on sides of the road are huge corn fields and grass. But because I believe, trust and know to yield to the Holy Spirit, I veer to the left (off the road) as the Holy Spirit takes over and began to speak through me (this is when I say things that comes from the Lord and not Deon). After He's through speaking through me, He takes me back to the road in which I was previously on and my journey continues.
To win with the presence of the Holy Spirit, we must all learn to yield to God's voice and obey His command so that His message can be heard through us.
Just me!
