We have a 24/7 house guest. In John 14:15-31 Jesus talks about the Holy Spirit--our Helper or Advocate. This passage was a good reminder for me of the important role the Holy Spirit plays in my life. I don't always give that a lot of thought. It's pretty incredible that God the Spirit resides in me and helps me navigate through life. (Thank you, Lord!)
So are you as grateful for the Holy Spirit as I am today? What has He helped you with lately? Are you taking full advantage of this awesome gift? Tami W.
Thank you Lord, for the wonderful Gift you have given us, the Holy Spirit. If that wasn't for the Holy Spirit, I would not be in my Mirage Today. Praise the Lord, I'm still in my Mirage, not that it is easy, but it's getting better. Thank you all very much for all your Prayers.
May God Bless you today.
I uplift you in Prayer as well.
I guess a little reminder to acknowledge the Holy Spirit always helps. I know sometimes I tend to ignore Him, but I always feel Him tuggin at me no matter what. He has helped me lately with many convictions that I have in my heart, and I am now ready to let Him guide me through my everyday struggles. Today I will take full advantage of having the Holy Spirit, and I will let him use me to whatever He sees fit.
Knowing that God lives in me just amazes me. The Alpha and Omega, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Praise God for giving us the Holy Spirit! It is like an headphone that is fit securely at the center of our hearts. It manisfest itself trough our conscience and the authoritative figures that are placed in our lives. I would've had so many regrets, done so many mistakes if it wasn't for the Holy Spirit guiding me! Praise God for such a rare and precious gift!!!!!!
Don't miss out.
“Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”
Psalm 34:8
He has giving to each of us the wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit. So Good is Jesus.
Everyday we have the opportunity to hear his voice, if we quite ourself, or position ourself to hear. The next thing, is then we have the opportunity to do. He is a gentleman and suggests things for our good and the good of others. He wont force us in any way.
While out of town, I went walking in a mall a few years ago which i usually don't do. I Heard his voice the first time and did, Then as I walked in front of a card shop I heard the suggestion to go in and buy your wife a card. I ignored this leading or suggestion and kept walking. As I walked back by the same shop just before leaving the Mall the suggestion repeated, why not go in and buy your wife a card. My thoughts came, which were: there is no reason to buy a card, no occasion to give one to her, my logical thoughts said to me. I didn't do what I heard clearly two times. I went home from my trip the next day. I looked it my sock drawer the following morning and guess what I found. A card from my wife for no logical reason. She listened and I didn't. I was blessed by her card, and learned a lesson because I had an opportunity to listen and do, but didn't.
I have had many similar times like this since that day. My Logic or The Holy Spirit, which do I listen to. Its always a blessing when we listen to Jesus through the Holy Spirit. And I always miss out when I don't.
What wonderful heart felt comments. Each has helped me in different ways.
It is so easy to go through my day and forget to pause for moment and listen. However, we have been through some tough times and the Lord is reminding me daily He is with me. It can be in a song, Him bringing a Christian in my path who reminds me to pray, be thankful or to look at all my blessings. I am praying this will continue, it has brought such peace and comfort to my heart.
We sang a song in service on last Sunday and this verse has been in my heart and mind all day: "Our God can move mountains and He is might to save". No matter the struggle, trial/tribulation, and/or persecution - our God is MIGHTY, He can and will move mountains, and His grace and mercy save us everyday.
May the Holy Spirit guide all His children on this He has gloriously made.
I can only read all the above comments & be blessed by them as the similarity of the above experiences with my own, is in itself testament to me about the guiding comfort of his Holy Spirit. I grapple with Faith & Logic as well, too often I believe, but knowing that he knows about this battle is very comforting, and he does take time to nurture my doubts/fears with subtlety, so much so I really do feel like a spoiled lil baby. Stern when needed, the whole process to me, epitomizes Phillipians 1 vs 6 in action
