God can change your life!

God can change your life 






Today's christians are fighting great battles without ceasing. Unfortunatelly they don't walk in victory and most of them are suffering from depression, uncertainty for the future, sicknesses, broken familes, addictions, and so many other problems that steal their strenght and joy. They are so tired and weak.
Instead of faith there's fear.
Instead of direction there's unbelieve.
Instead of wisdom there's disorder.
Instead of peace there's confusion.
Instead of joy there's weakness.

The reason for this sad situation is that people are not lead by the Holy Spirit.
It's impossible to do God's will without the Holy Spirit!
It's not by accident that Jesus, first got baptized is the Holy Spirit, and then started His ministry.
To be able to do God's will and bear fruit we need to be baptized and be led by the Holy Spirit.

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

I've got to emfisize that after we get baptized we have to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Some people speak in tongues and this is great because they build up them selves in God, but this is not enough, 1Cor 14:4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself...

Obediance and trust are the keys to be led by the Spirit of God. But the greater enemy is lukewarmness which fights our spirit with doubts, skepticism and carnal way of life.

Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

We must repent and cast out of us anything that becomes an obstacle in our relation ship with the Holy Spirit.

Ephessians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephessians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Ephessians 4:31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
Ephessians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

The Holy Spirit is the One who will guide us to the Truth which is Jesus Christ, and help us to understand the principales of the Kingdom of God.
Jesus said:

John 16:7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
John 16:14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
John 16:15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

If we ask the Holy Spirit, God will give it to us. The Holy Spirit will give us strenght, wisdom, direction, will be with us all the time. He is a person, and He is in perfect unity with the Son and the Father.
He is our Helper, Comforter, Guide, Counselor, Encourager . In Greek there's another one name: Paraklytos (Paraklete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraclete) which literaly means "the one who is called by our side". Also means "the one who requests-mediate-intercede for our sake".

God can change your life! He wants to give His wonderful Spirit to everyone:

Luke 11:13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit! 
Romans 15:13
