When we look at this world and all of its
complexities, its intricacies, its uncomprehendable
mysteries, we know our existence could not have been just a matter of chance.
Deep down we possess an awareness that there is a superior
being who designed this great universe. The trouble is we cannot find this
loving God by ourselves, we can not fit God into our
own physical world. We must put aside our human pride and ego,
we must come in humility, with child like faith. We must clear our minds of all
preconceived ideas to justify our personal wants, desires, or ideals of
political correctness. We must spiritually come into the world of our Lord
through the power of the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit is able to open our
eyes to the love and truth of our Lord, to give us the faith to believe in Him.
We can receive the Holy Spirit at any time of our lives, whether we are life
long congregational members who still are unsure of being one in Christ, to
those who now are hearing about their Lord for the first time. All can find
Jesus Christ by sincerely praying a simple prayer like this:
“Dear
Heavenly Father, I want to be part of your
The exact words are not as important as our
attitude. An attitude that realizes we will be a changed person when we follow
our Lord. We will no longer be part of this world, we
will become a new spiritual person with Jesus Christ. Then one must seek
spiritual guidance to learn more about their Master. We will be glad to help if
you will e-mail us or seek out a church that uses the disciplines of “The
Bible” segment of this section.
We must realize we cannot have a half-hearted
commitment to our Lord, it is all or nothing. We must ask the Holy Spirit to
continually help us grow in the Lord by guiding us as we read God’s Word, as we
worship with fellow believers, as we live our lives. To the degree we allow the
Holy Spirit to guide us is to the degree we will understand God’s word. To the
degree we submit to our Lord’s will is to the degree we will accomplish our
Heavenly Father’s plan for us. To the degree we put Jesus Christ number one in
our hearts is to the degree we will have the faith and love to accept that
which we will never be able to comprehend. To some much understanding will be
given, to others less. From those given much, more will be expected, from those
given less, less will be expected, but all will be able to know Jesus. For the
Holy Spirit freely gives the faith and knowledge to all who want Jesus to be
the center of their lives.
