KNOWING THE TRUTHS OF GOD

” AND NO ONE CAN KNOW GOD’S THOUGHTS EXCEPT GOD’S OWN SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE RECEIVED GOD’S SPIRIT (NOT THE WORLD’S SPIRIT), SO WE CAN KNOW THE WONDERFUL THINGS GOD HAS FREELY GIVEN US. ” 1 COR. 2: 11-12

God has given us his rich and loving Holy Spirit to live within us. Our Lord is with us in and through all things. He goes before us and is beside us. His Holy Spirit helps us to understand the many truths of our Lord God in heaven. The Holy Spirit is God’s own spirit. Because of his mighty presence we are enabled to understand his thoughts. However, we sometimes miss out on what he is telling us and how he is directing us because we speak louder than he does. It is easy to let our own thoughts and understandings get in the way of what God is telling us. It is necessary that we recognize the voice of the Lord in our lives and listen to it. The voice of the Holy Spirit is described as the “small still voice”. The voice of the Holy Spirit is not yelling at us. There is no screaming going on. The voice of the Holy Spirit has a calming and peaceful affect upon us. If we are anxious, nervous or not sure about something then we know that we are not listening to or hearing the voice of our Lord. We need to calm down and take a step back and listen carefully. We need to pray and present our request to the Lord and then let him respond. Our God is a Spirit and we are Spirit beings. The Holy Spirit is our constant companion and helper. Life is so much easier when we let the Lord lead and we follow. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
