SCRIPTURE and SPIRIT

 

Romans 8:26

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for 

as we ought: 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.


As a GIFT from GOD, prayed for by JESUS, the HOLY SPIRIT helps us understand Scripture, helps us pray, and leads us to all things Jesus.

Through the Holy Spirit of God, we begin to understand the ways of God, the teachings of Jesus, the commandments of God, the way to live, love, and work, in this world.

We greatly need the Spirit's guidance, for the world is steeped in sin, and serves a different master.

Even as there has only been ONE Master.

My personal experience is that the moment I surrendered my will to the LORD's greater will, I felt I was being led to a clear direction.

The more faithful, and diligent you are, the more the Spirit will reveal things to you.

The world does all it can -- through distractions -- to keep you from knowing the way back to God.

But once you surrender completely to God, then He will send His Spirit to give you complete help.

Spirit will lead you to become born again.

You can struggle and resist all you want, but that was a command from Jesus.

You must become born again.

John 3:3

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.


It is a pre-requisite, so you can discern the LANGUAGE of SPIRIT.

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.


Soon, you'll find yourself drawn to the Bible.

And marvel at God's story.

The many adventures, and mis-adventures of man.

The legendary love, and patience, of God.

The sacrifices and leadership of Jesus.

The hopes of man, and the promises of Jesus.

Spirit will help you understand Scripture.

Ask ANY question; Jesus will answer -- through Scripture.

Pray in all sincerity to the Lord, and you will surely receive an answer.

I cannot tell you how many times a swift answer was given, every time I'd pray to Jesus for guidance and clarity about something I'm thinking about, or wondering about.

Once you become born again, and devote your life, work, and attention to Jesus, your life will change beautifully, for now, you know where you're going.

Now, you know where you stand with God.

Now, you can make a stand about things that matter.

Now, all your thoughts are backed by Scripture.

Now, you know the true nature of people, and of the world.

Now, you know the importance of obedience to the Lord.

Now, you know how to obey.

Now, you know how to pray.

Now, you know what to pray for.

You will also be taught to wait patiently, for an answer.

And to know if the answer is from the Lord.

Most surely, you will know that, as when you've submitted your will to the Lord, you become His, and you become the Holy Spirit's student.

Never again will you wonder about anything.

All will be made clear by Spirit.

He will lead you to the verses that answer ANY question you may have.

Never again will you look to the world for an answer.

The answers have always been in the Bible, the WORD of GOD.

But now, through Spirit, you can understand perfectly.

How else could I have written all these blogs, unless Spirit guided me to the precise verse, and interpretation.

Interestingly, ALL the ideas, and subjects, came from Spirit.

You see, once you're a true born again, your relationship with the Lord will become sacred, and private.

That's how you can commune with the Lord, in the prayer closet of your heart.

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.
