In yesterday’s meeting with the individual interested in working with our counseling ministry, we hit upon the subject of everyone’s need to bring God into the midst of whatever struggle one is facing. This is no easy task for in doing this we begin to find what the one struggling believes about God. Biblical counseling is solely based on God being the GREAT HEALER. Man is a tool to help others find resolution for their struggle with the healing coming from God.

In the meeting we discussed momentarily the Triune God–God the Father, Jesus the Son of God, The Holy Spirit. In simple analysis, They are One with purpose for us as mankind. God is God of the universe. Jesus is God in man who became our final sacrifice for our sins and paved the entrance into eternity if we accept him as our Savior. The Holy Spirit God gave to us to open the door for an intimate relationship with Him. In this relationship we find Hope, Trust, Faith, confidence, love and the determination (Strength) to never stop growing in the fullness of God as our life continues.

As I was praying over my prayer list I have at the top “Surrender to The Holy Spirit”. As I read this I stopped to realize surrender is only the first step. Once I surrender to Him, I then need to open myself so He can be the Strength of my life. To surrender I simply say I lost or I can’t do this. However, to surrender so I can then be filled with God’s Strength is a whole different story! It is then I can go back into the battlefield knowing I now have an army fighting for me who never loses.

OK, with all of this, now my assignment is to put this truth into living today!
