John 16:7 (ESV) 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 14:26 The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things & bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:16-17 I will ask the Father, & He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you & will be in you—Do you know The gift we have in us! The gift that is around us! Do you see? What has your attention? This world needs to wake up! Our God gave us a helper to teach us, if we will listen. He brings the real truth! We have this advantage from the creator of the universe, if we will only listen. The Holy Spirit brings us both wisdom & understanding in truth! It is His truth that opens doors no man can shut. Love Mel
God is Our Rock!
Psalm 18:2 (NIV)The LORD is my rock, my fortress & my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield & the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

He is the one that we should turn to for refuge in times of trouble! For He tells us that there will be trouble, but to be of GOOD CHEER for He has overcome the world! Love Mel
The Glory of God
GLORY of God! 1 Cor 10:31 (ESV)So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the GLORY of God. 2 Cor 3:18 (NKJV) We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the GLORY of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from GLORY to GLORY, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Psalm 50:23 (ESV) The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice GLORIFIES Me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God. Eph 5:2 Walk in love, just as Christ also loved you & gave Himself up for us, an offering & a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. John 11:40 Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the GLORY of God. John 17:1 (NIV) After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven & prayed: “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. Eph 1:18 (NIV) I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people. —To give glory to God is to believe God to be who He says He is & to trust Him completely! To increase the amount of the glory in our life, we must walk in love as Christ. Pray continuously. We must learn to live for His GLORY! —Exodus 33:18 (ESV) Moses said, “Please show me your glory”. — Have you ever asked to see His GLORY? Start asking! We need Him to transform this earth! Love Mel
Be a DO-ER of the Word – Not Only a Hearer
James 1:22-24 (NIV)Do not merely listen to the word, & so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror &, after looking at himself, goes away & immediately forgets what he looks like. James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers & sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Psalm 37:3 (ESV)Trust in the Lord, & do good; dwell in the land & befriend faithfulness. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Gal 6:9-10 Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, & especially to those who are of the household of faith. — Do GOOD to everyone! & Do Not grow weary of doing GOOD! It’s all about doing GOOD! Love Mel
