I never was a person to set out to hurt someone, but I also did not care enough to set out to help them either.  A great change has taken place in my life since Jesus saved my soul.  I not only care for others but I spend time thinking of ways to help them if I am able.  My prayers now are not just for my needs but are also for the need of salvation and the concerns of others.

Direction for the Gentle Spirit

Direction for the gentle spirit, yielded and still,
That hungers and thirsts after the Father’s will.
For the one who wants to see beauty in the most unlovable kind,
That purposes to good in each person find.
Know your God will reveal the deep innermost part,
Of the valuable, empty space in their heart.
I will give you the ability to not only see,
But love enough to inside of them reach for me.
That hard, relentless, calculating person you know,
Has a great need within their soul.
The bitter, angry man uncompromising in his ways
Has great need within for God’s love to brighten his days.
The very sinful man that seems to wallow in the world’s mire,
Their heart too your God also desires.
If you allow me to show you we will gather more and more,
Into the holy presence of the love of your Lord.
I will bestow upon you more than you can contain,
You will over flow like a river in Jesus’ name.
Sweet and peaceful with a gentle warm embrace,
That honors the Father in the world’s last days.
Oh gentle spirit become more like the One you serve.
Learn from the Holy Spirit’s still voice as you read God’s Word.

John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

            God loves us so much He sent His Son Jesus to pay our sin debt.  Jesus loves us so much He died on a rugged cross in our place. Because He is God, when He rose from the dead we will also.  When Jesus finished His work on earth He sent the Holy Spirit to teach, lead and guide to the truth in God’s Word.  The Holy Spirit is our inner witness that comforts and assures us we are saved and are member of God’s family. He is our inner witness we will one day forever dwell with Him.

Listen to the Spirit

Listen to the quiet deep inside.
Let God be your guide.
Be sensitive to the deep- moving within.
Recognize the nudge the Spirit sends:
The gentle pressure that impresses your mind;
That instructs and teaches as God designs.
Read the Word let it show you right from wrong,
So you have clear knowledge of what belongs.
See the sin and walk from it away.
In Jesus’ name cast it out so it will not stay.
Allow the love of Jesus to soften up the heart anew,
So His joy and peace will flow inside of you.
Evil thoughts become subject to God. You are able to reject sin,
When you decide to allow Jesus to inspect what is within.
To walk in the Spirit is to allow Jesus to rule and reign.
You will know what God desires – to cast away or to remain.
To walk in the Spirit means you will be guided by God above.
And you too will become an example of His love.
When you are led by the Spirit His victory you will confess;
Even in hard times of temptation you will in His abundant wisdom rest

Luke 11:28
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

John 8:47
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
