A Burning Flame

By Benny Hinn

You may feel like an insignificant candle in a giant world. But the darker the world, the brighter your light will seem, piercing the night with the truth of God's Spirit. John 1:5 says: "And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it," (emphasis added). Now the word "comprehend" in Greek means "to seize, to grasp, to overcome, to grasp with the mind, to understand." The idea here is darkness can neither understand the light, nor quench it.1 The people around you in darkness will not understand you, but their darkness can never quench your light. The light has power - and you have the light.

Take heart and be very courageous: if you are the only light, people will follow you and beg, "Show me the way out." You can lead them with authority by saying, "His name is Jesus."

Remember, you are not carrying a candle. You are the candle. The Lord Jesus is living in you, and through the Holy Spirit there's a brightness shining out of you.

The Holy Spirit Brings You Hope

By Benny Hinn

Hope is looking forward to something with confidence or expectation. Hope is based on love, that is, that the One who loves us will do what He promised because of His love, and the Bible says that the Holy Spirit gives hope when we are going through difficulties.

As God’s beloved child, you can count on Him to be actively at work in those hard times to refine you. As a result: “tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Rom. 5:3, 4).

And the Bible goes on to say: “And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us” (Rom 5:5 NIV). The love of God, poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit is the proof. Like the gentle rain which nurtures the plant, the Holy Spirit pours into our hearts the “rain” of spiritual refreshment and encouragement in the midst of our hard times.*

A Mighty Wind

By Pastor Benny Hinn

Is it really possible that the Holy Spirit can totally change us? Absolutely. If the Lord could turn mud into man as He breathed the breath of life into man, imagine what He can do by breathing on us again! Tha is what happened at Pentecost.

And suddenly there came a sound fro heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Acts 2:2

Those who gathered in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost felt the breath of almighty God. And as it blew gently upon them, they were transformed. When the Holy Spirit empowers your life, you can expect three things to happen:

The Lord will become very close to you.
Because of that relationship, your ultimate desire will be to walk in the ways of God.
You will be miraculously transformed into a new person.
