The Holy Spirit in Your Heart. Part [2] 03/05/2026 (Morning thought)

Romans 8: 26 Likewise, the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Every one of the disciples, who stayed the course with Christ, were brought to maturity, for even the doubting Thomas, and the impulsive Peter, and the sons of Zebedee who were prone to violence anger and revenge, were all thoroughly converted by The Spirit of God working in their hearts, and thus were brought to maturity. This is the reason why we have encouraged you to stay the course with Christ, no matter what might come your way.

All those who stay will be made partakers of the mature Christlike character, in the fulness of time. Some will be severely tempted to let go their hold on Jesus because of deep seated flaws in their lives but, if we hang in there, God who has promised us to finish the work He has started in our hearts, will bring it to completion if we were to stay the course with Him. The Christian race is never about speed, it is about endurance, and thus, all who “Endure” to the end will be saved.

[The Desire of Ages pp 295] All of the disciples had serious faults when Jesus called them to His service. Even John, who came into closest association with the meek and lowly One, was not himself naturally meek and yielding. He and his brother were called the sons of thunder. While they were with Jesus, any slight shown to Him aroused their indignation and combativeness. Evil temper, revenge, the spirit of criticism, were all in the beloved disciple. He was proud, and ambitious to be first in the kingdom of God.

Romans 8:27 And He that searches the hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Holy Spirit in Your Heart. Part [1] 03/05/2026 (Evening thought)

John 16: 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

There are some truths pertaining to the work of The Holy Spirit in your hearts, which might need some scriptural clarification. In the above passages, Jesus breaks down in precis form some of the work which is done in the hearts and minds of persons, by God, through His Holy Spirit. He is the One who accomplishes the work of saving and regenerating us and working in and through the ones who permit Him.

Speaking in tongues, where it is necessary, healing the sick, where it is God’s will, and every other aspect of the Christian’s growth and development is done by the Holy Ghost. It is true, that in the context, Jesus was speaking to His inner circle of disciples, but the work mentioned there pertains to all who will take up the mantle of discipleship, whoever, and wherever they may be. In other words, all who are willing would be guided in to all truth.

And all who choose to stay the course with Christ no matter what, would absolutely be brought from one stage of development to another, not by might, nor by power, but by The Holy Spirit working upon your heart. This is why we stress the grave importance of staying with Jesus all the way.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
