Bible Verse of The Day – 6-19-17

Luke 11:13 (NKJV) 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

It’s a fact that we need the Holy Spirit if we want to be guided and led by God. The Holy Spirit is the One who will guide us in all truth.

Here’s an example of how He works in our lives. Someone comes up to us and starts to talk to us. They tell us things, and some of what they are saying may be true. We listen and we think in our minds “they seem legit in what they are saying”.

But, it is the Holy Spirit who helps us to discern things on a deeper level; things we can’t see or know on the surface, including the real motive or agenda behind something.

Without Him and His guidance we can fall for a lot of things that seem right on the surface but are off in some way.

That’s why people, including Christians, go through some of the stuff we go through. If we will let the Holy Spirit guide us, we won’t have to go through some of the trials and problems we experience.

The thing we have to understand is that the Holy Spirit will come when we ask God for Him. And He will move in us, and on our behalf, when we give Him the freedom to do so.

But if we never ask for Him and we don’t give Him room to move, then we can’t expect Him to be able to help us.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
