DAY 15 OF PRAYER AND FASTING

Day 15 – Filled with the Holy Spirit and the Love of God

May 15 to June 5th

Dear Bella Vista Church Family,



Today is Day 15 of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, and we turn our hearts to the incredible gift of being filled with the Holy Spirit and rooted in the love of God. The Christian life is not one of striving but of abiding—abiding in His power, His presence, and His love.



From before we were born, God saw us, knew us, and loved us. Through Jesus, He adopted us as His own, wrote our names on the palm of His hand, and made us His masterpiece—designed to reflect His goodness and walk in His purposes.



Today’s Focus: Filled with the Holy Spirit and the Love of God



Key Verses:

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…”

— Acts 1:8

“We are God’s masterpiece… created in Christ Jesus to do good works…” 

— Ephesians 2:10



“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” 

— Jeremiah 1:5



Suggested Reading:

Acts 1; Romans 8; 1 John 1:12; James 1:5; Isaiah 49:16; Psalm 139; Ephesians 2



Prayer:

Fill me with power from on high. Lord, only You can fill our hearts with our deep desire for love! Thank You that You love me, that You have adopted me as Your child. Thank You that in You I have complete security. Thank You that we are Your masterpiece, and that You have written our names on the palm of Your hand. You have brought us close to Your heart permanently. Help us know Your incredible love for us! We receive Your love and healing over our minds, our hearts, and Your church body. Thank You that You have created us anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do the good things You planned for us long ago (Ephesians 2:10). Fill me, Lord, so that I might be a witness of Your love.



Take time today to sit with the truth of who you are in Christ—deeply loved, known, filled, and sent. The Holy Spirit empowers you not just to feel God's love, but to reflect it and share it. Ask Him to fill you afresh today with both power and compassion.



Serving Jesus with you,

Pastor Timothy Anderson
