Are we truly letting the Holy Spirit move in our lives? 🤔 This message from Melanie Makuch is a powerful reminder of when Jesus told His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit before they started their mission, and Just like Peter, who denied Jesus but was totally transformed by the Holy Spirit, we too can experience that same life-changing power. 💪

Melanie discusses how the Holy Spirit gives believers the strength to stand firm in their faith, make godly choices, and bring peace to the chaos around us; we’re called to fully surrender to the Holy Spirit, trusting that God's plans for us are way better than anything we could come up with on our own. 🙏

Melanie challenges believers to fully surrender to the Holy Spirit, trusting that God’s plan for us is far better than our own. As we yield to Him, we open ourselves to His guidance, gifts, and empowerment to live courageously in our everyday faith. 🌟🔥
