Jesus is daily teaching me to rely more and more on His Holy Spirit within me. As this all started a few months back, I was in the dark about it thinking it is just too mysterious in flesh to ever be understood with any depth. Spirit-living, well it is just for a few who are already strong in spirit. I’ll just have to do the best I can.

Working through the curriculum three times a week with different small groups give God a significant chance to show me the truth about Him and His Holy Spirit so I can begin to break down the disbeliefs which want to linger within me. This morning while journaling I had asked Jesus to grow my understanding of Spirit & Truth. Instantly I was brought into the reality that I do know when The Holy Spirit nudges me. The voice I hear in my head is clear and it is always a definite statement to do something, not do something, etc. It never screams for I find His Voice to always be steadfast, kind and to the point. The truth is that I don’t always respond to it as I should. Jesus was pointing out that for me to awaken to His Holy Spirit, I must begin to always respond to Him. In so doing, He will grow in me. Simple truth.

Jesus reminded me of the phrase, mind over matter. Man uses this phrase to strengthen our ability to not give up. When Jesus gave me this reminder He added to it: Spirit over mind will release the angst one often has of one’s ability to keep strong. God’s Holy Spirit, when we are surrendered to Him, will enable us for His capability will become ours. Our mind can relax when we are in surrender responding to God’s Spirit’s call within us.
