I recently met a friend and he told me he was a retired minister. He retired after 45 years. I asked him how did he get started in that. He said he had a calling in his life. I asked him how did he know it was a calling. He told me he tried to get away from it and couldn’t.
I’ve often wondered what calling there was in my life.

That’s what he wants you to believe but he can come in all shapes and forms. He can make you believe in things against what the Bible says. Stay strong in the word so you will be able to catch the deceit sooner than later.
I am surprised every time when I see the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Does that mean God has a Holy Spirit before Jesus was born? Some of these questions I do not know the answer to. But I will explore more. Isa 63:10 But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them. Reading the whole verse I find the Headline
That is amazing. Sometimes I find reading the Old Testament tough. But it may be something as equally important to dive into as the New Testament. I felt God tell me this morning to skip the 7:00 news and continue in my word. I discovered something new. Thanks for reading.
Did you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit? Do you treat it that way? Do you follow your doctors instructions on your exercise and dietary guidelines?

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Let’s see if we can start improving our body. Start a daily exercise program. I’ve read somewhere just 15 minutes a day would help your improve your heart muscle. Feel free to acknowledge that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit by completing the form below.
Once you accept Jesus as your savior you get a Helper The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit will teach you. What does it teach you? Right from wrong for one thing. You will start learning about Jesus by wanting to learn everything in the Bible. Will the helper keep you from sinning? I am afraid not. When we do sin we have an advocate.
A friend asked me if you could accept Jesus just before you die and still go to heaven. I say yes but you may not know your exact time when you die. Those people that died in the airplane crash. The jet took a nose dive down to the ground at 500 miles per hour. Did they know they were going to die? At my emergency room visit last year when I was being wheeled into the exam room to get a cat scan I thought I may die. I knew I would go to heaven but I was worried about my family and friends. I felt I hadn’t done enough and I did recover. My advice to you accept Jesus as your savior and get the gifts of the Holy Spirit now. Tell someone what you did.
Would you believe me if I said the devil is real? I was listening to a late night popular talk show and they were talking about past lives, spirits, and false mediums. In my search the word Ghost comes up 3 times. So I guess we do have ghost but is it something we should be involved with? In the New Testament references the disciples were in fear. Everyone knows the Bible teaches us the spirit of fear is not of the Lord. So that tells me ghosts is of the devil.
I had always heard we have all sinned. I didn’t think I was a sinner until I started to learn what it says in the Bible about what sin is. I thought I was a kind person and if I could help someone I did. One day as a young adult in the early 70’s I was taking the bus from the library in downtown Norfolk and this elderly lately asked for change. I knew people sometimes take money and used it for alcohol. I told her not to use it for alcohol. She seemed very great full. In reality it was none of my business what she used the money for. In recent times I have been studying. I have read scripture as to what sin is and what it isn’t according to scripture. I came to the conclusion just because you don’t murder and commit your sin involving others does not mean you are not a sinner. I sin by lusting over what others have and not being great full for what God has given me despite what decisions I had made in my life. I know I am not taking care of my body like I should. God has given me grace and allowing me to continue being on the earth doing good works using the gifts he has granted me. I know I am a sinner but I know he has forgiven me of my sins and he will forgive you too. To be continued.
