Prioritize your relationship with the Holy Spirit!

The Lord Jesus told us in John 14: “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. We need a personal relationship with the Holy Spirt, He will lead us to all truth, and will let us know God’s will for our lives. The Lord Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit would dwell in us. It is vital that we not grieve the Holy Spirit. If there was any relationship that we should prioritize, it is this relationship. The Holy Spirit will never lie to you. He will always lead you in the righteous paths that will benefit you, your families, your destiny and your future. He will always lead you to God. He will always reveal the will of God to you. 

Ephesians 4:30 – And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

There is great power in your words!

In Proverbs 18:21, The Proverbist declared: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit”. Many have heard the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” This is absolutely incorrect. Words are among the most powerful entities in this earth realm. God holds us accountable for every word that proceeds out of our mouths. Most people talk without thinking what the repercussions may be. We do this as children as we criticize other children in school. But even as we grow up, we continue to say and declare things that can either hurt us or others, and we are oblivious as to how it may hurt or destroy others.  The Apostle James declared the person that can control their tongue  is a perfect man (James 3:2)! Today, our Good Lord and Savior reminds us to use our words to speak life, restoration, health, joy, peace and salvation to others. There is great power in your your words.

Ephesians 4:29 – Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary [h]edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
