Things God Wants You to Know

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Jesus did not want to leave His followers alone so He sent His Holy Spirit to be with them after He went to heaven. 

John 14:16-17

Jesus said, I pray the Father and He will give you another Comforter that He may abide with you forever--even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because it sees Him not, neither knows Him, but you know Him for He dwells with you and shall be in you. 

Those who personally receive Christ into their hearts receive the Holy Spirit and those who reject him do not have His Spirit. 

John 14:26

But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled nor afraid. 

The Holy Spirit will comfort you so that you never need to feel lost or lonely. The Holy Spirit will give you strength and joy and wisdom and He will guide you each day as you talk to Him personally. 

Luke 12:12 

The Holy Spirit will teach you and help you to speak. 

Acts 16:6 

The Holy Ghost warned the disciples not to go to Asia. 

Romans 8:13 

For as many as are led by the Spirit are the sons of God. 

1 John 4:13

We know that we dwell in Him and He in us because He has given us His Spirit. 

Angels Singing

An excerpt from my book entitled, Poems From the Heart.

I hear the chorus of angels singing;
In my ears their sweet voices ringing. 

I see the white clouds and blue sky above, 
And wonder of Holy Spirit like a dove

Upon my Saviour, Jesus, descending
To earth, God all powerful sending, 

His power, strength and peace so fills us
And abiding in us so we stand for what is just. 

Rise up and step out and like Christ be, 
And listen and open your eyes to see. 

Speak his words of light and truth, 
So hatred and bitterness cannot take root.

Things God Wants You to Know

Is Jesus God?

John 21:27-29

Thomas touched Jesus' nail-print hands after Jesus came back to life and then in amazement Thomas said to Jesus, "My Lord and My God."

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a child (Jesus) is born and unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulder and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. 

John 1:1, 4

In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word (Jesus) was with God and the Word (Jesus) was God. Verse 4: All things were made by Him

Put Christ first in your life and home and love and worship Him. 

Running to and Fro

From the book Poems From the Heart, by Marlene Wilkinson.

People running to and fro,
So busy with their cares and woes.

I have so much to speak to you today;
Won't you be still, listen and pray?

I see you with your worries and tears;
Come, sit beside Me, and I'll calm your fears.

I am your mighty God and everlasting Friend,
And into your heart My peace I will send.

Instead of running here and there, to and fro,
Open the Bible that tells you I love you so.

Lean on My strong arm and find perfect rest,
For in Me your life will be full and blessed.

Weary and worn, fall at My feet;
I'll pick you up to sit at My seat.

I'll meet your need in My time;
Just talk and sit with Me and dine.

Things God Wants You to Know

Is there power and importance in the Blood of Jesus Christ?

Matthew 26:28

The Blood of Jesus was shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

I John 1: 7-9

If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, guilt and shame. 

There is an old hymn that has been sung over the years and the words are, 

"Would you be free from your burden of sin, 

there is Power in the Blood, 

Power in the Blood."
