The Helper (3)

 

Dearly beloved. I trust this finds you well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for giving us the Helper, the Holy Spirit to be in us and with us forever. The Holy Spirit helps us to live lives that glorify God, to walk in His will and He brings to pass God’s purposes through us. If we follow the leading of the Spirit, we won’t do things that God doesn’t like.

 

Scriptural References

“Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] — To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).” Ephesians 3v20-21 (AMPC)

 

“Dearest friends, when I was there with you, you were always so careful to follow my instructions. And now that I am away you must be even more careful to do the good things that result from being saved, obeying God with deep reverence, shrinking back from all that might displease him. For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey him, and then helping you do what he wants.” Philippians 2v12-13 (TLB)  

 

“For those who are living according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh [which gratify the body], but those who are living according to the Spirit, [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit [His will and purpose]. Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever—because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God—both now and forever];” Romans 8v5-6 (AMP)
