Help from the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit speaks to us via the scriptures. He takes what we read or hear, helps us put the pieces together and understand the teaching. He helps us remember guidance from His previous statements and create mental pictures of which we can understand the meaning. The Holy Spirit does not make decisions for us. He prompts us with confidence to follow those plans associated with godly principles. He does all this in preparation, but leaves the final decisions for thoughts and actions to the individual. In this way we progress along our unique individual spiritual journey one day at a time. "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." - 2 Tim. 3:16-17 ESV
