HOLY SPIRIT TEACH ME


 

1 Timothy 4:1 NLT Now the Holy Spirit tells clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.

 

The Holy Spirit teaches us how to have confidence in Christ Jesus. He also states that nothing will harm or hurt believers without the Lord’s permission. He teaches those who believe in Jesus Christ, to trust Him, have confidence in Him, and to rely upon Him. Reading and meditating on Scripture builds up our faith. At all times we need to focus our eyes upon God and not upon the situations around us. However, we do need to ask for God’s wisdom, instructions, and guidance to help us to know how to walk in His ways. We most certainly need to search for the principles of God, which are written for us in the Bible.

 

Prayer

 

Holy Spirit, You teach me how to have the confidence and faith in Jesus Christ. You will not allow anything to hurt me as I stand upon Your Word. I trust in the Word of God. What has been written about me cannot be changed. I stand upon God’s Word and promises and take His promises deep into my heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit. I pray my faith will be increased daily, as I continue to meditate upon God’s promises. I will constantly focus upon God and not on my own understanding, or circumstances. I pray I am filled full with God’s wisdom, instuctions, and guidance, to help me accomplish all He has planned for my life. I submit, surrender, relinquish and yeild everything in my life to the Holy Spirit of God, in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen

TRUST IN THE LORD


 


 

Proverbs 3:5 NLT Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depemd on your own understanding.

 

Loyalty and kindness are important character quailities. Both involves actions as well as attitudes. A loyal person acts responsibily. A kind person works for justice for others. Thoughts and words are not enough – our life reveals whether we are truly loyal and kind. Do your actions measure up to your attitudes?

 

Prayer

 

Father God, in the past You have told me to tell many a troubled soul to put their trust in You. I have encouraged those who are weak or failing, or lie crushed upon the ground or are tempted to despair. At times where trouble strikes, I have felt faint and broken.

I must remember to trust and have confidence in You. I believe in God through Jesus Christ and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God; to take care for those who are good. I praise and thank You with all my heart You are a great and wonderful God who is worthy to be praised, adored and loved  forever in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Disciplined By God

Proverbs 3:11-12 NLT My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline , and don’t be upset when He corrects you. For the Lord corrects those He loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.

 

Discipline means “to teach and to train.” Discipline sounds negative to many people because some discipliniarians are not loving. God however is the source of all love. He doesn’t punish because He enjoys inflicting pain but because He is deeply concerned about our devleopment. He knows that in order to become morally strong and good, we must learn the difference between right and wrong. His loving disipline enables us to do that.

 

Prayer

 

Holy Spirit, please help me walk in submission and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Do not allow me to be undiciplined or be unruly, but help me to walk a godly and holy life with Jesus Christ. I ask You to set me free from everything that hinders Your plans for me. Only you are worthy to be praised, adorned, and loved, and I will not worship anyone other than You. I ask this prayer in Jesus’ precious and holy name.  Amen
