Heart Knowledge Turns On The Light

John 14:26 NKJ

But the [a]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.

TBS all the things Jesus did, all the miracles He performed were so numerous there would never be enough pen and paper to record, or write them down.

The disciples had witnessed a lot of things and Jesus had taught them first hand, but He knew there would times in His absence they would still need His strength and instruction. During those times they would need to be comforted and have the piece of mind that Jesus was never very far away.

They were challenged with the same challenges we still who call themselves Christians are faced with and have the privilege of undertaking today!

And when those moments the disciples were in need, the omnipotent Holy Spirit was there to meet their need. We still 2000 plus years later, still have the same luxury of God with us in the form of the Holy Spirit living in us, teaching and guiding us, helping us all along the journey.

There is nothing that God is not willing to help you with and I mean absolutely nothing, God Loves to help His Children!

The more you understand God’s grace and mercy and that being a Christian is so much more than finding religion. Its only then you realize, God’s grace and mercy, is only accessible by having a real and intimate relationship with God, through His Son Jesus!

God loves us, because God loves Jesus and the more you love Jesus, the more you understand just how much Jesus loves you and a better understanding of how your relationship holds the key to all the plans God has for your life!

There are so many things God wants to do for all of us, things He is ready, willing and able to do on a moments notice,

Story of Sam the dog,

Growing up we had a farm dog and his name was Sam. Sam never had any of the frills dogs nowadays enjoy. Sam was never allowed to beg at the table, because Sam was never allowed in the house and was only fed table scraps my mom turned into some kind of gravy stuff.

Sam never had a dog house, fancy bed or a fancy dog sweater. I don’t think Sam ever even went to the vet for a shot. Sams only perk he was allowed to do, was to hang around and chase cars up and down the road. Everyone always said Sam would Probably get hit by a car doing that, but he never did get hit.

Sam hung around his whole life for scraps and by the way he lived to be 21 yrs old and died of old age.

Now while this is just a story, the devil would have you think all you are entitled to, is a life like Sams. No frills, no promise, a no nothing kind of life with just a scrap thrown to you every once and a while.

God wants you to know, life doesn’t have to be that way, you can have life on the grand scale! Because if you know and have a relationship with Jesus you can have and are entitled to an abundant life. A blessed life with a lifetime guaranteed seat at the table and will never have to settle for scraps!

Ps. 103:1-5 NKJ.

1. Bless the LORD, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2. Bless the LORD, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

3. Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

4. Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

5. Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s

As we read this, we can tell that David was excited, who in the world wouldn’t be? Because He knew first hand, about the benefits from having a relationship with the Lord!

Too many people feel as though David had a special first hand relationship with God, I suppose they might say the same thing about Moses, Elijah and probably even Billy Graham as well.

You know what, they did have a special first hand relationship with God, but I remind you TBS God is not a respecter of persons and no where in the Bible does the Bible say you can’t have the same intimacy of relationship they had, cultivated and enjoyed!

Question, why aren’t you?

Knowing God and having a relationship with Him, is an exciting amazing adventure! When I was a child, I thought religion was boring and I was right, religion is Boring! But my relationship with God, through His Son Jesus, is anything But Boring!!
