~~~ALWAYS AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, WILLING ~~

“--"I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”
---[John 16:7/ NASB] --

I’m confident that Peter, James, and John did not believe they would be better off without Jesus. He was their Lord, and they could not imagine that anything positive would happen if He went away and left them behind. But if you read the book of Acts, it’s apparent by the end of the story that what God had begun in Jesus’ life was being multiplied through the lives of His Spirit-filled followers. The same Spirit of God who empowered those early Christians is still present in the earth to help us today. The Holy Spirit is more than a theological theory or abstract concept. He is a Person who is actively working to help the Church of Jesus Christ complete our assignment. He is never distant; He is always available, accessible, and willing to help us. If we intend to mature as believers and accomplish God’s purposes for our lives, we must learn to recognize Him, understand Him, and cooperate with Him.

THINK ABOUT IT
Welcoming God’s Holy Spirit will help you transition from knowing about God to knowing and experiencing Him personally. He has so much to offer you: help, comfort, gifts, and fruit—all of which honor Jesus.

PRAYER
--"Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit to help, guide, and empower me. Forgive me for the times when I have grieved Him through my disobedience and unbelief. Holy Spirit, help me to know and cooperate with You more. In Jesus’ name, amen."

[**Jesus said, "I and the Father are One." // We must accept this by faith. The Lord's ways are much higher than our ways and past our finding out." If you can receive it, accept this by FAITH." ]
