Good Morning Eden,
My friend in the Lord I have seen you become much of an encourager and that puts a smile on my heart.

Is that "on" your heart similar to "believe on Jesus", as compared to "puts a smile in my heart"? Is there a difference? LOL

love, Eden

Good Morning Eden,
My friend in the Lord I have seen you become much of an encourager and that puts a smile on my heart.

I believe with all my heart that the Holy Spirit knows all the ins and outs of our lives and it knows perfectly how to resource each one us for our greatest potential in Kingdom growth........all the more reason for us to walk in obedience and increasingly grow in the hopeful expectation that God will entrust us with even more of Him.

With love in Christ, Daniel

It is not so much that the Holy Spirit makes ME a new person...it is more that the Holy Spirit is asking ME to GET OUT OF THE WAY so that the Holy Spirit can see what's going on in my daily life, and so that the Holy Spirit can MAKE DECISIONS on what the Holy Spirit sees happening outside of me.

And then the Holy Spirit tells me WHAT I SHOULD DO.

But it is still UP TO ME to decide from moment to moment whether I want to EXECUTE the Holy Spirit's ideas or MY ideas. LOL

Job 29:6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil.

Psalm 18:36
You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet do not slip.

Psalm 119:133
Order my steps in Your word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Psalm 31:3
For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore for Your name's sake lead me and guide me.

Psalm 48:14
For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.

Psalm 73:24
You shall guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You shall receive me to glory.

Isaiah 58:11
And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Luke 1:79
To give light to them who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

As I said at the top of this Topic:

And then the Holy Spirit tells me WHAT I SHOULD DO.

But then I MUST STILL DECIDE whether to execute the Holy Spirit's recommendations, or whether to execute my own recommendations. May my dumb self have the wisdom to understand to ALWAYS EXECUTE the Holy Spirit's recommendations INSTEAD OF MY OWN IDEAS.]

Lord Jesus and Father YHWH in heaven, help ME to get out of the way so that YOU can see real good.

Hebrews 4:10
For he who has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did cease from his.

Make room for the Holy Spirit, let Him see what is going on outside of our body, instead of US looking at it.

love, Eden
"Father knows best"
