The Holy Spirit.

There is no better place to be than totally comfortable with your life. Let Jesus fill your life with God's Holy Spirit!

Galatians chapter 5 verses 25 and 26.

If we are living now by the Holy Spirit's power, let us follow the Holy Sprit's leading in every part of our lives. Then we won't need to look for honors and popularity, which lead to jealousy and hard feelings. 

Are you living by the Holy Spirit's power? Think about it! The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. 
   Any one of those fruits can be used to trip us up and take our eyes off of God. And when our eyes have been distracted we find ourselves remorseful and in sadness. God is awesome. He has given us the means to have a good life, a great life, yet we choose to let our old habits and old ways lead us down paths we later regret. 

   If God looks at you, what do you think He see's. Is He pleased with the way you live your life? He has laid it out clearly and without fault. "Obey Me and follow My direction." In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus tells the crowds, "Heaven can only be entered through a narrow gate! The highway to destruction is broad, and it's gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it." 

   It's easy to go through each day without having any thought of Christ at all. It is easy to get caught up in the affairs of others or to be affected by what others do. It's easy to go in debt and frustrating to pay it back. God offers us peace in a world that can slip away, without being noticed or truly enjoyed. On top of all that He offers eternal life. 

   The reason I write, is to let everyone know, the joy that God's Holy Spirit wants to fill us with. It's the joy of coming into life with God. It's seeing for the first time the beauty of His creations. It's being awed by some words you spoke at just the right time or the success of accomplishing something you never thought possible. 

   It is in your joy that you give praise to Jesus, thankful to God for the life you now have with Him. Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 and 9 say, "For it is by grace that we are saved through faith, not that of yourselves. It is a gift of God, not of works lest we boast." 

   Don't let your daily routines, your quick tempered words or the desire of have, take away a moment of God's love for you. You deserve to enjoy life to it's fullest. Jesus is the Way, yes, and the Truth and the Life (John 14 verse 6). In John chapter 4 Jesus meets a woman at a well, and say's to her, "If you only knew what a wonderful gift God has for you, and who I am, you would ask Me for some living water!"

   These are not just words written in a book. They are words that can fill your thoughts with right living. By starting your day with reading a few words from the bible you will see the touch of God's hand upon you, as you think of Jesus and thank His Holy Spirit. I like the words written in the book of James. "So get rid of all that is wrong in your life, both inside and outside, and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received, for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts. And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to. So don't fool yourselves. For if a person just listens and doesn't obey, he is like a man looking at his face in a mirror; as soon as he walks away, he can't see himself anymore or remember what he looks like. But if anyone keeps looking steadily into God's law for free men, he will not only remember it but he will do what it says, and God will greatly bless him in everything he does."  

   With God our battles, our struggles, our wisdom, knowledge and understanding are blessings from Him. We are no longer alone but ready and prepared for whatever may come along. Instead of just doing what you think is ok, the Holy Spirit will prompt you to remember, causing you to look away from temptation, strengthening your will power and making you smile triumphantly. 

   1 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 11 and 12 say; "There was a time when some of you were just like that but now your sins are washed away, and you are set apart for God, and He has accepted you because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you. I can do anything I want to if Christ has not said no, but some of these things are not good for me. Even if I am allowed to do them, I'll refuse to if I think they might get such a grip on me that I can't easily stop when I want to."

   The things that we enjoy are the very things that can cause us grief, for instance too much indulgence of anything that cannot not be easily overcome. Thank God for Jesus. He has made it possible for all people, no matter who they are or what burdens they carry, to come and find a peaceful life with Him.

   King David in Psalms chapter 63 is hiding in a cave away from those who mean to harm him and this is where we find him praying and praising God. Verses 2 and 3 say; "How I wish I could go into Your sanctuary to see Your strength and glory, for Your love and kindness are better to me than life itself."

   The Holy Spirit is the love of God, wisdom of God and the understanding of God. Jesus is God! Alive in us. 

   Thank you Father for Jesus. We would not have anywhere to turn to if it wasn't for your mercies and grace. 😊       

 

Daniel chapter 2 verse 20.

Praise the name of the Lord, forever and ever, for He alone has all wisdom and all power.  

John chapter 1 verse 14.

And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth. And some of us have seen His glory---the glory of the only Son of the heavenly Father!

1 Peter  chapter 5 verses 6 and 7.

If you will humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, in His good time, He will lift you up. Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.
