Thank You For The Holy Spirit
We cannot make ourselves do right by the Lord without the power of the Holy Spirit. Ask for it daily. Confess before him daily that you have not arrived and sometimes you think you have and there are ways in which you have absolutely no Idea that you haven’t.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for your love, mercy, and kindness. Help me. I want to live with a mind that depends on you each moment. Please continue to shape me and transform me. Lord sometimes I think I can right wrongs that I cannot. Lord sometimes I think I can repay evil when sometimes it is not even evil. Lord sometimes it is my flesh imagining what I don’t know. Lord I don't fully understand this prayer. Lord I pray this prayer to trust you and your preached word. Thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit. Give me the desire to be filled again and again with your Holy Spirit to help me learn and obey to perform your works. Help me learn and experience your justification gift so that I may serve you and do your will. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Acts 4:21-31
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

The Filling of the Holy Spirit
Peter and John were in this group filled with the Holy Spirit. Peter and John were also among the disciples filled on Pentecost. The power of the Lord making us bold and enabling us to mighty works is not a one time affair.

Romans 3:21-28
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Psalms 122
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
