The Holy Spirit our guide

By

2. The Holy Spirit- Our Guide
    You and i take tens and sometimes hundreds of decisions in a day,e.g
Should i take a left or a right?
Should i drive or take a bus?
Should i speak or keep quiet?
Should i take this route A or route B ?
 Basically,these may not be spelt out in the Bible, yet we need to take decisions each day,and we all desire them to be right. Jesus knew this,an He said--
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (KJV)-John 14:16
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. (KJV)--John 16:13
" Forever" He will be with us,all the time to lead us and guide us to take the right decisio .We need the Holy Spirit, we cannot go through Life trouble-free without Him.He knows the way,He is the true guide.
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. (KJV)-Act 13:2
He speaks.
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. (KJV)
-John 16:13.
The believer must learn,tune him/herself to and be highly sensitive to His voice.

How Do I Recognise His Voice?
* His voice does not contradict the Bible.
* His voice is gentle and peaceful( the enemy may want to feign this).
* By practice-how do we recognise the voice of someone who is close to us- mother,wife,husband? you know their voice,you are familiar,you are used to that voice,how? by practice.You will need to be familiar with the will of the Holy Spirit.It does not just come one day.His leading is one of the proofs of your sonship through Christ Jesus.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (KJV)
-Romans 8:14.
   Practise,according to the merriam-webster Dictionary is ' to form something again and again in order to become better at it.You can start today build a relationship with the Holy Spirit,talk to Him( He is a person) like you would talk to a friend,ask His opinion and listen to be instructed,ask……listen,ask……listen,be quiet in your spirit,the more you ask and listen ,you will hear His voice speak to you.
Pray: Holy Spirit please help me to hear you,open the ears of my heart to hear you.
    Different voices- especially two- may be speaking,initially you may take a decision following one of the voices and it was anwrong decision but don't worry,keep practicing,keep involving the Holy Spirit as many times as as possible in a day,about everything and anything,ask for His help.Soon,you will recognise His wonderful voice and remember the Acid test;
* His voice will never contradict the Bible.
* He will never brag or speak harshly,even when He rebukes.
* His voice is gentle and peaceful.

Inner Peace
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. (KJV)--Ps 23:2,

To guide our feet into the way of peace. (KJV)
-Luke 1:79b
    Still waters represent calmness,peace.God will not lead you into trouble,His leading moves us up.
  The fruit of the Spirit are recorded in Galatians 5:22-23
-Butthe fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:against such there is no law. (KJV)-Galatians 5:22-23-in a manifestation of the indwelling of the HolySpirit,and one of these fruits is peace.When you need to take a decision ,check on your inside-" Do i have peace about this decision?". If you feel confused,anxious,worried or uncomfortable, i advise you wait, go back to God in prayers, talk to the HolySpirit.Never take any decision in a rush! Request for time-even if it's 5minutes!-but for decisions like; you are at a crossroad, and you need to to turn left or right. Pause,check on your inside qnd take the most peaceful decision that comes to heart.
     Remember,this inner peace will only work for those in tune with God, a man or woman who is living in sin may claim to have peace even to do immoral acts?.

WHO TORE THE VEIL?

By
WHO TORE THE VEIL? Matthew 27:50-51 KJV Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; Jesus  being crucified was on the cross, the scriptures recorded that as He cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost that the veil that separated the Holies where the priests performed sacrifices daily from the Holiest of All where the High Priest had access only once a year (Hebrews.9:7) to atone for his sins and for the sins of the people was torn in two from top to bottom. Now, let's look at this veil  - well,  it's not the kind of veil that brides wear on their wedding day or some kind of face covering mostly worn by women. This Veil translated as screen in Greek is a curtain - 4 inches thick,60ft high, about 30 -40ft wide. One piece of linen cloth woven with Blue, Purple and Scarlet,it is said that it would take at least 30...

TETELESTIA. - PAID IN FULL!

By
TETELESTIA. - PAID IN FULL! John 19:28,30 KJV After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. [30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The Word, "Finished"(Tetelestai )comes from - teleo, which means “to bring to an end, to complete, to accomplish.” It’s a crucial word because it signifies the successful end to a particular course of action. It’s the word you would use when you make the final payment on a new acquisition. It means “I did exactly what I set out to do.” but in Jesus' case ,it meant " I have done exactly what the Father wants done". But there is more to the meaning of tetelestai. It means all of the above, but it especially applies to the price paid for the sins of the world. Goods only become completely ours when payment has been fully made. The phrase "it is finished" is loaded, a...

How to experience favour everywhere II

By
If you've read part 1 of this series, you probably thought - wow! Who wouldn't like this?. God's favour brings a refreshing Proverbs 16:15 KJV In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. Picture this scene. It's a really hot day during the dry season and it hasn't rained in about two weeks. You're standing out in the open, feeling like a human egg on a frying pan, then suddenly, right above you, the sky darkens, the cloud split open, and rain begins to pour right on you. if you can't imagine it, look at this;  Refreshing isn't it?. It was God's favour and wisdom upon Joseph that made Pharaoh install him as governor; Acts 7:10 KJV And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaouh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. It's possible to be ill-favoured but that's not God's plan for His worshipper...
