This Week's Scripture September 16 - September 22, 2012     Nuggets of Reflection: The Holy Spirit is our Helper and our Comforter We need the Holy Spirit to help us deal with the ups and downs of our lives as well as to endure the not-so-great things of the world system. Make it a lifestyle to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us the way Jesus ministered, while staying in tune with our Heavenly Father. Never be afraid to ask the Holy Spirit for help.       Psalms 33:20-22 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him,  Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You. Happy Fall | Forward this Picture "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 thi...

TGIF, everybody!!! I know so many of you are pratically doing cartwheels because you are so glad that it is Friday!! Well, I know you are ready to get your weekend started so I won't take too much of your time. If you are joining us for the first time, our theme is based on John 16:13-15. It's such a blessing to have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us. As I stated, in previous posts from this week, I talked about the Holy Spirit being our Helper. So, for today's Feel Free Friday, I want you to feel free to ask the Holy Spirit to help you. If you need help with building more of an intimate relationship with God, ask Him. If you need help with your finances, ask Him. If you need help in your marriage, ask Him. If you need help in parenting, ask Him. Even if you need help in school, ask Him. Jesus did not go away for anything. He went away so that the Holy Spirit can come to help and teach us all things. Do not be afraid to ask for...

It's Quench Your Thirst Thursday time!! This week we have been talking about the Holy Spirit from John 16:13-15. Jesus went away so that we can have a Helper, a Comforter, a Counselor. God knew that the law alone would not be enough to sustain our relationship with Him. We needed power above all powers to guide and lead us in the way He would have us to go. And for that, I thank God in the name of Jesus. So, for today's Quench Your Thirst Thursday, we are listening to "Holy Spirit, Come and Fill This Place" sung by one of my favorite contemporary gospel singers....Cece Winans. In order for the Holy Spirit to take up residence within us, we must first invite Him in by confessing our Lord, Jesus Christ, as our Savior. If you haven't accept Jesus as your own personal Savior and would like to begin a new life with Him, please click HERE.   Then return to this post.  :) I pray this song is a blessing to you as it is always to me. The lyrics are inc...

Happy Hump Day!! You are officially half way through this week. Aren't you excited? Woo Whoo!! This week our themed scripture is based on John 16:13-15. However, for today's Wisdom Word Wednesday, I want to focus on verses 14 and 15. It says, "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you." The Wisdom Word for today is ministry. Spreading and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ is the foundation and the key point for our ministry. The books of the bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John gave prime examples of how Jesus ministered to people. Because of the Holy Spirit we have the power to minister to others like Jesus did.   He ministered to people unselfishly, with compassion and righteousness. We should be wise to allow the Holy Spirit to enable us to go forth in ministry the way God intended and planned. The Ho...

To my Dearest Heavenly Father, All can say is WOW!! A million thanks would not be enough to show you how much I appreciate all that you have done for me. Before I was conceived in my mother's womb, you did more than I can ever imagine. You created a place for me to live. You sacrificed your Son so that I may not die, but live. After all that, You sent me a Helper, a Comforter through Your Son,Jesus. And all you ask of me is to give You the glory, be a reflection of Your precious Son, Jesus, bring other people into Your kingdom, and live a life that is pleasing in Your sight. Thank You Father for sending me someone who can help lead me in the way that You have prepared for me. Also, thank you for comfort when in I am in distress or when I feel so alone. You are my Help, my Strength, and my Refuge in the presence time of trouble. Thank You, my Father, for sending me an advocate to stand for justice on my behalf, when so many have tried to do me wrong or j...

According to John 16:7, the Holy Spirit is our Helper. We need our Helper if you want to dive deep into further truth, which Jesus told His disciples in John 16:12, that they could not bear at that time. However, the Holy Spirit fulfills that work of understanding the truth in Ephesians 1:17-18.     Helper - [Greek word:parakletos strong's# 3875] ~ the word signifies an intercessor, comforter, advocate, counselor The Helper in the natural sense symbolizes an attorney that appears on our behalf; pro bono, of course. Our themed scripture for this week is......, "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you." (John ...

Welcome!! It's Scripture Sunday Reading. Sunday is considered to be (for most people) the last official day of the weekend. So, relax and enjoy your Sunday as you prepared for the work week. Now, let's get started.    In John 16:7, Jesus informed His disciples that He has to go away in order for our Helper to come to us. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you." Our Helper is the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us through all things. Having said that, our themed scripture for this week is John 16:13-15. "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. Al...
