Jesus said to them, ‘My Father It’s always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.‘“ John 5:17 Do you struggle with your difficult or bad circumstances? How do you deal with those situations? The Holy Spirit uses the Bible, prayer, and circumstances to speak to us, and show us the fathers will. Jesus knew what the father wanted him to do. This is how Jesus knew the father’s will for his life and daily activity. “In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.“Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I…

God Speaks Through Prayer
The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the Saints in accordance with God’s will. Romans 8:26-27 Do you use a journal to write down what God speaks to you? The Holy Spirit reveals truth. Truth is just not a concept to be studied. Truth is a person. Jesus stated in John 14:6. I am the truth. When God gave you eternal life, he gave you himself. And the Holy Spirit…

How To Be A Servant Of God
Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7 Are you a servant of God? Do you know how to be a servant of God? Do you think that God tells you what He wants you to do and then leaves you to do it on your own? God does not leave you to do His will. He is right there with you the whole time. You are joining him in His work. Not the other way around. God used Moses to work through His plan. God was already at work around Moses. God pursued a continuing love relationship with Moses that…

Jesus: Our Model
My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working. I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

Jesus Is Your Way
. “I am the way and the truth and the life.” John 14:6 When you are seeking God’s will in your life, how do you approach God about it? Do you ask detailed questions? Do you accept His way of one step at a time? All God is asking us to do is Follow him one day at a time. God is the only one that knows the way to go to fulfill God’s purpose for your life. Jesus said, “I am the way.” He didn’t say, “I will show you the way.” He didn’t say, “I will give you a road map.” He didn’t say, “I will tell you…

Knowing God
Jesus said, ‘This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3 How much do you want to know God? How do you get to know God? Knowing God does not come from a program or a method. It’s a relationship. It’s an intimate love relationship with God. Through this relationship, God reveals His will to us. He invites us to join HIm with where he is at work. Obeying God, He accomplishes things through us only he can do. When you come to know God more intimately by experiencing God at work in you. I pray as…

Love An Action
This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his need – how can God’s love reside in him? Little children, we must not love with word or speech, but with truth and action. This is how we will know we belong to the truth and will convince our conscience in his presence, … 1 John 3:16-19 How did your grandparents or parents show their love for one another? I was lucky to have grandparents and…

God’s Idea of Love
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiations for our sins. Dear Friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains…
