All that my Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit will take what I give him and tell it to you.- John 16:15 (Good News Translation)
There comes a time when we wonder if we could ever latch on the promises of God. We ask ourselves how can we apply them in our lives, how to maintain a life worthy of the Lord. Being anxious about them has no place in the mind of the Lord. He is discouraging us from being so in the first place-“God loves you, so don't let anything worry you or frighten you.” -Daniel 10:19 . And Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart.-Philippians 4:6
God understands our limitation and imperfection. He has anticipated already the trepidation we will encounter as we begin in our relationship with Him. Thereby, He did not just leave the Bible to us to be read and grope for ourselves for possible wisdom. He sent the Holy Spirit according to their supreme plan of salvation. The Holy Spirit connects us to the Lord. He actually inspires and directs our way of thinking and manner of speaking through faith -"...the words you speak will not be yours; they will come from the Holy Spirit."-Mark 13:11 He reminds us of the words of the Lord, putting in our hearts the promises of God and sealing in us that God is committed to fulfill them. -“The Holy Spirit will come on you, and God's power will rest upon you..."Luke 1:35
