The Holy Spirit is called the Helper in the Bible, but He cannot help you with some of the things you will need help on unless He can first communicate directly to you on exactly what He wants you to do. Have you ever tried giving Him permission to lead and guide you? Yes, give God permission! He will not force Himself on anyone. However, if we simply ask, He will freely give!
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith . . . (James 1:2-6)
Yes indeed, God is available for the asking . . .it is His Spirit! As we give Him control, we are freed up to act according to His will.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God . . . (Romans 8:13-16)
That feeling . . .that gut . . . that conscience . . . that is His Holy Spirit alive and working in the believer!
I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit . . . (Romans 9:1)
Allow God to work within you! Just ask!!! I hope Spirit Week was worth it . . . .
