Matthew 8:4 Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Jesus did not seek attention for the miracles He did but rather wanted the right people to receive the truth at the right time.

When Jesus healed this man of Leprosy, He wanted the priest to know the power of God; He knew the priest needed to see the result of God’s power!

What we do with what God gives us and tells us will shape who we are – we could do exactly as God says we should, but most often we too will go and tell others about God and His power before we follow His instructions to us… the important parts being e need to follow God’s instructions!

Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Our access to God is through the Spirit, whom God, in the form of Jesus Christ, ensured we would have!

I love the way God has been with us from the beginning and every step of the way in our lives – even when we did not see, hear or know of Him.

I thank God that I am able to continue sharing my love and passion for Him; without Him and the doctors He made sure where in the right places at the right time, I fear I would not be here today. What a year!

Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

There are always times in our lives when we just don’t know what to say – so we say nothing, hoping for some inspiration from somewhere!

The Holy Spirit is with us constantly, trying to tell us what to say through our spirits – we just need to listen through our spirits…

When we don’t know what to say to God, stop and listen; the Holy Spirit is trying to guide us in our ways and our prayers too.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

When Jesus said He would leave behind a witness or a guide for us, He meant the Holy Spirit; a spirit who talks to us through our spirits.

So if you don’t hear an audible voice speaking to you, telling you which way to go, don’t worry because most of us don’t get to hear audible voices!

We cannot guide ourselves – even our spirits cannot guide us by themselves. We need God’s help and it is given to us through the Holy Spirit communing with our spirits.
