Why You Don't Feel the Holy Spirit's Power Anymore (And How to Get It Back)

In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks a phrase from Luke 5 that's easy to read past: "the Lord's healing power was strongly with Jesus." Even Jesus, in His earthly ministry, depended on the Holy Spirit to do the work of the Father, as Acts 10:38 makes clear. That raises a real question for our own lives: why do we so often try to live for God without leaning on His Spirit the way Jesus did? Pastor John explains that sin and the Holy Spirit have an inverse relationship. When unconfessed sin builds up, we quench the Spirit's work in us; we stop sensing His voice, His presence, and His power. The good news is that confession changes that instantly. When we practice ongoing repentance, confessing and forsaking sin daily, God is faithful to forgive, and the Holy Spirit gets fanned back into flame in our lives. This isn't about keeping your salvation; it's about protecting a living, daily relationship with God so His power is active, not just present.
