EMBRACE THE SPIRIT AND WALK IN THE LIGHT

“Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26 (KJV)
The word of God is Spirit and Life. The same Spirit helps our infirmities. The Holy Ghost helps our weaknesses and limitations. He helps our inability to comprehend. He helps our shortcomings in any area of our lives. And because the Holy Ghost is always standing by to help us, all things work out together for our good. Nothing works against the believer. No matter what you are encountering, just pray in the Holy Ghost and keep yourself in the love of God. “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”(Jude 1:20-21 KJV).
Always remind yourself of God’s love. God’s love is infallible, errorless, unconditional, irreversible, iron-clad and blood-bought. The love of God for us never fails. And let your heart be filled with the understanding that God is merciful. No matter what, remember His loving kindness and tender mercies. “…while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8 KJV). What an assurance! Christ died for us!
Today, I want to encourage you to stick to the word. Bury yourself in it! Read the epistles! Seek the promises of God that had already been paid for on your behalf! See your picture in the word. Look at Jesus in the gospel and see yourself in Christ because in Him we live and move and have our being. We are complete in Him! As He is, so are we. There is no difference!
