Here's the news: The Holy Spirit doesn't need any help from you trying to figure out the flesh. The struggle you feel within is His fight with the flesh, not yours. All the Spirit wants is your attention on Him—that’s it. He’ll take care of the rest.
Should He want to convey something to you about it, you know it will be comforting and wonderful because He knows you really well and is very good at reviving the real you, even after a fleshly moment covered you over or beat you up. And I think there’s something in the Bible about the Spirit being rather good at counseling and comforting. Right?

Wow Ralph! First time I have heard that explanation and my spirit shouted yes! "All the Spirit wants is your attention on Him" Beatiful! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSir Ralph, this is the truth: Romans 8:9-11 giving life to our mortal bodies, John 14:17- Yes He is our comforter and John 14:26, 1 Cor 2:13 and 1 John 2:26 He is our teacher (counsellor). I love, I love.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I had know all this 30 yrs ago
ReplyDeleteRalph... I just ripped up the resume I was going to give to the Holy Spirit. Here I thought He needed my help... but you set me straight..."No Help Wanted!":)))
ReplyDeleteRight. More than once :-), as though we might need to hear it more than once :-)
