John 14:116-17 “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him.

Prayer Life series #23
God’s Word shows us that even at the young age of twelve, Jesus was very much aware of following His Father’s agenda. In Luke 2:49 in response to His parent’s frantic search for Him, which finally ended when they found Him in the temple, He asked them: “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My father’s business?” From an early age, Jesus was following His Father’s agenda, and the Father’s will always came…
Prayer Life series #22
Jesus’s entire life was patterned by His daily adjustments to the Father’s will Jesus said it this way in John 8:29: “I always do those things that please the Father.” Obedience was an absolute for Jesus and it has to be for us too.

Good morning, Ephesians 3:20 “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.

Walk In The Spirit
Psalm 25:14 “The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, and He will make them know His covenant.” All of this becomes real to you as you obey the initial promptings of the Holy Spirit. As you do, the voice of God becomes stronger and more prevalent in your life.

The Helper -1
Romans 8:27 “The Spirit . . . intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” The Father has given us an incredible gift by sending the Helper to dwell in us. He is like an ambassador that represents the policies of His homeland and serves the host nation by translating its messages into the appropriate language. The Holy Spirit faithfully conveys to us the Father’s will in a way we understand, and He represents us before God in…
This Is How We Do It – He’s Our Provider
Matthew 6:11 “Give us this day our daily bread.” The next thing that Jesus says to ask is “give us this day our daily bread” in Matthew 6:11. He is not speaking of a loaf of bread, He is referring to all of our needs, physical, financial, spiritual, emotional, and recreational. We are assured that our heavenly Father will take complete care of us. Jesus says in Matthew 6:25-26 that we are not to worry about life, eating or drinking.…

This Is How We Do It – Our Father
1 Chronicles 29:11-14 “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.

Jesus, Take The Wheel
Psalm 139:14 “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.” Phil. 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” There are some things that are very important for you to understand. First, the Father says that you belong to His family. Romans 8:15-16 promises, “You have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of…
