Rely ONLY on the Power of the Holy Spirit

Scripture
1 Cor 2: 4 Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.
Observation
Paul writes that he ONLY relied on the power of the Holy Spirit. He chose to do this. He writes "rather than". He could have spoke very persuasively, and with his amazing intellect could have been very clever. But he knew that this was not going to be helpful for the people. He relied ONLY on the power of the Holy Spirit.
Application
Well, the application seems pretty clear to me. I need to rely ONLY on the power of the Holy Spirit. I know I want to lead the people tomorrow to a place of encountering God, but I cannot do that with mere persuasive words. I need the power of God's Spirit to help me lead them. I also need to be filled with His Spirit. I can't live a distracted life ~ I need to live a focused life, focused on living in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer
Holy Spirit come, let this (my life) be your home, come and dwell among, all of us who sing this song. Come into this place, shine on every face, fill us with your love and grace, Holy Spirit come.
