The Holy Spirit


"And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever - the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you." ~ John 14:16-17

While many Christian denominations deny the existence and/or significance of the Holy Spirit, this scripture proves otherwise. When we get saved - that is, when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior - God gives us a Gift to help us face the everyday trials of life. It's up to us to either accept or reject that Gift. But either way, He's there and He's real. He lives inside of us. He is our direct connection to God. He's there to help us, to teach us, to guide us, to remind us, to counsel us, and to lead us.

If you find yourself failing to tap into this tremendous resource that God gives to His children, you are missing out on one of the most powerful benefits of being a Christian.

When we become believers, God gives us all the tools we need to be successful. The difference between our success and failure in life is the manner in which we use those tools.

God bless,
J.W.
