May 2022 at Living Word – A Helper Comes from God
The Holy Spirit is still at work in our world today. Jesus promised believers they would receive power when the Holy Spirit comes and we allow ourselves to be filled.
God’s word is full of commands and promises. A German Shepherd can learn more than 60 commands and obey everyone of them with trust at the spoken word. How many commands have you learned? How do you respond to the Holy Spirit and God’s Word? Jesus had given 3 years earthly training & a 40-day refresher course. Now He was gone to prepare a place but not leaving us alone. Build a relationship with the One who knows the game you are in. The outcome depends on it! Are you even attending the training events? We have been provided with the perfect coach and guide.
Back up has arrived now get to work. Grow in what you know then allow God’s love to show. Spread the word.

Do you give credit to God for the great things He is able to do through your willingness to serve?
May 15 – Are you looking for that diet that promises the results you want? Did you know God revealed His plan for all with food? God heard the prayers and sent Peter to preach to Cornelius.

The Holy Spirit helps Christians in and through times of trouble. Are you fulfilling the plan He has for you.
May 29 – Would you read a book that tells you about a gift you can receive? What if it gave you ideas on ways to use your gifts? Peter wrote letters. The Holy Spirit guided people to write God’s words to provide a written guide for us to live by. 2 Peter 1:21; Acts1:8; 1 & 2 Peter.
The Guide Book took about 1500 years to come together and shares the inspiration given to fishermen, kings, murderers, physicians, prisoners, prophets, shepherds, and others under the guidance of God and the Holy Spirit. It reminds us to develop our character and faith as we trust the Holy Spirit to guide and provide while we wait for Jesus return.
