John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Word, God Himself became flesh through a virgin. His name is Jesus Christ. The life Jesus offers is eternal and for all sinners, if we repent from our sins and give ourselves to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His grace and His truth will touch every part of our being. He is the only begotten Son, in the very bosom of the Father.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

John 1:17-18 (NKJV) 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After we ask God to\u00a0forgive us of our sins and we invite Jesus to come into our lives,\u00a0there is another very important step we must take as God’s children. This step will help\u00a0us walk in His ways and\u00a0His teachings. We\u00a0cannot\u00a0do that on our own strength. Many of us have tried and failed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Problems with addictions, anger, rage, insecurities, fear, doubt, anxiety, lust and greed are some of the things we can wrestle with. These problems don’t always instantly go away upon receiving Christ. That would be nice if they did, but our flesh needs to be taught and we need to grow to love the things of God.<\/p>\n

Dealing with them on our own is impossible. We need our Helper, the Holy Spirit. He reminds us of the things of God. And as we yield to Him, He gives us the strength to get past them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As much as we want to do the right thing, without our Helper, we will almost always fail in our efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are places where this very important piece of God’s word is not taught. Why? Because they have a lack of understanding or a lack of knowledge when it comes to the Holy Spirit. They never experience Him in His fullness in their lives. So they don’t know how to teach about Him.<\/p>\n

They received Jesus as their\u00a0Savior. There is no doubt about their salvation. And they have the very best intentions. But they walk in their own understanding and they move based on intellect much of the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God is so serious about this that He tells us “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. Note that he says HIS<\/em>\u00a0people.<\/p>\n

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…<\/p>\n

We need knowledge, children of God. His knowledge!<\/p>\n

When we are lost for words, feeling alone, abandoned, craving that addiction, or whatever it may be. We cannot rely on our head knowledge to get us through. We need the help of God’s spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

God help us today.\u00a0Fill us with\u00a0Your Holy Spirit. Come and\u00a0baptize us, Your people, Your\u00a0bride, with Your spirit!<\/p>\n

We need YOU if we are to\u00a0run this race that is\u00a0set\u00a0before each one of us. Amen.<\/p>\n
