Keep Praying and Speaking to the Holy Spirit, We will Hear Him—R Fritz
You want our lives to change; we need to change, otherwise, nothing will change in our lives. When life takes us down where we do not see a way out, we keep doing the same thing because fear stops us. We need to show people that their life can change; we just need to trust somebody, and then we learn about Jesus when we tell them how Jesus changed our lives. So many people are looking for a way out of their situation. We just need to speak to people; they will let us know about their life and their issues. We need to learn to be good listeners because our family and friends need our help. People are listening to their thoughts, thinking the thoughts that we hear belong to us, and do not know about Satan or God, with even believers not knowing about Satan and what we hear not belonging to us. We need to learn from our mistakes because sometimes we are put through the same situations to learn a second time. I speak about going through the same situation a few times. In my case, I asked the Holy Spirit why I had to go through a second time when I understood what happened. That time, the Holy Spirit did not answer me; he believed I needed to go through it a second time so I would not forget. It is a matter of putting our trust in God instead of believing we can do it ourselves. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Also, Psalms 56:3-4 say,s “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.” God knows u,s and fear is a lie from Satan where we believe things are going to happen. We are pushing our past or present into our future because that is what fear does. When we trust in the Lord, we are operating in the spirit and not in the flesh.
One of the biggest problems we have is that we have no goal and no plan, so we live bouncing around and letting issue by issue define our lives. I was never taught I needed a goal with a plan after high school. We were not meant to fail. God has a plan for each one of us to succeed with the gifts we were given. We need to learn what our gifts are, and that is where the problem comes in, because we are not asking the Holy Spirit what they are. I have learned of some of my gifts after I retired, and some I am still learning. I could not write over 4 or 5 sentences before I started writing this blog. Even after writing this, the Holy Spirit would tell me the subject what to write but sometimes I would struggle then one day, when the Holy Spirit gave me the subject, I said, “I do not feel qualified to write this,” and that is when I was told by the Holy Spirit, “You are not writing this I am.” We forget the gift was Jesus, and then the Holy Spirit after Jesus died to live inside us. Now I do not think about what to write because the words are given to me as I look at the paper. Many times, I learn things as they are given to me; sometimes, I am amazed at what I am told. The truth is, the gifts we have now are operated by the Holy Spirit through us. In other words, we are used where our words and actions are used as the Holy Spirit gives us everything we need to do and what needs to be done in situations we are in. We are God’s hands and feet and mouthpiece to do exactly what he wants us to do. The words we speak have the same authority as Jesus had because of the Holy Spirit that lives in us. John 14:12-14 says, and this is Jesus speaking, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” What we can do depends on whether we have the Holy Spirit, because we cannot do it on our own in the flesh. We have people who try, but you will not because God’s Spirit will not be duplicated. We choose whether we are with the Holy Spirit or are against him. Following Jesus requires us to choose each day who we will follow.
The battles we have following Jesus are sometimes because we do the right thing and support Jesus. He will not leave or forsake us. Hebrews 13:5-6 says, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” He also says in Deuteronomy 31:8, “And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Do not let fear change what the Holy Spirit wants us to do. It is easy to say I cannot do something but takes real courage to battle through what you believe you cannot do and get it done through the Holy Spirit, helping us. I can tell that because I have battled through many different situations over the years. Some of the situations I am put in are places where nobody wants to do what needs to be done, so it is up to me to do what nobody else will do, or it will not happen. Some of these situations I do not want to do either, but God has other ideas, and I hear him.
We need to believe the Lord will go before us and be with us, and when we trust him, we will get through those things we could not do before. Keep praying and communicating with the Holy Spirit; He hears us, just trust him, we will hear from him. God Bless.
