2 Edged Sword

You know what's fascinating about the Holy Spirit? Well a lot of things. But for me, it's this: He is the perfect embodiment of the answer to everything you will ever need. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into all truth (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit will reveal things to you about others in order for you to pray and minister. The Holy Spirit will also most effectively shut. you. down.

I love when people try to act so very deep, like he/she is the Holy Spirit's best friend. I have come to learn to test people who walk around like that. The Holy Spirit is not here to make anyone look deep or more in tune with God than others. The Holy Spirit is a shield of truth. What I'm loving about my good friend the Holy Spirit is this; He does not spare my feelings. He can be a little harsh I know. He doesn't care that I'm uncomfortable or that I don't want to deal with a present issue. His desire is for me to be in the will of God, and when I don't know how to pray the will of God, He intercedes for me!

So many people think He is here to help point out the imperfections of others so that we can be "used" to correct them. I believe that the Holy Spirit is first and foremost interested in teaching us about ourselves;



What's wrong with my life?



What areas of my heart need purification?



I don't aim to ask Him about other people. Their business is not my own. I ask the Holy Spirit about me. And He is ready and willing to tell me. This, ladies and gentlemen is how you get closer to the Lord. When you think that you life is holy, you are righteous, your actions are driven by altruistic motives, take a step back from looking at your life through rose colored glasses. Ask the Holy Spirit, what is it that you need me to work on in order for me to reach the next level in the will of God for my life? I betchu He'll show you with the quickness.



Although it can hurt and most times it requires great sacrifice, I'm learning that it's worth it to say "yes" to God, rather than wait until you're only choice is to say "yes." Why wait until you have no other options?



Ask Him now to show you what is wrong, so that you can begin to work with Him in making it right.
