Ask and you shall receive. Now that you've asked for the fire...the Holy Spirit is going to provide. Get ready for the ride, cuz it's gonna be fast. I'm so excited for you sis. Good to see you moving on to step 2. This program is really a great one. Especially if you didn't know how to invite the Holy Spirit into your daily actions. The more you learn about Him, the more He will open your eyes.

luv ya

As i moved to step 3.. 'He is working in us and through us'..it really hit me as i read this. I told the Holy Spirit, i came to u in my brokeness to be use by u. 1 corinthians 1:26-29. That verse reminds me that God will and can use small things or someone who the world think is unworthy as His tool..to give a big impact to those around and glorified Him.

Love ya too mlg. Happy easter day.
Actually i want to write some more in my blogs..too sleepy n getting tired. But im fiery for Jesus.

[mlg]

Good to see ya moving on to step 3.

now im in our library..quietly..listening to this song..entitled "I surrender"..i so love the study today..as i read through step 4 of the study..i could really feel the Holy Spirit presence here reading with me..He is here..so close..i love u Holy Spirit..as i read through, its like He talk directly to my heart through the contains written in the study..i hear He said..lean on me my dear child..i love u..u are my precious child..i feel i enter into something i couldnt explained..i really feel His love all around..wrapping me..wow..

yes, i had trouble with strong enough will power to fight temptation..and yea, its really like my spirit is being held hostage by my choices to please the flesh at times. Like Paul, i know it is within me to do good, and wants to, but the war between the flesh and the spirit that makes me feel miserable every time when it happened to me..i feel like..i failed again..yes i can relate.

maybe i didnt noticed that sometimes pride keep me from reaching out my hand and allowing Holy Spirit to hold me close..but today He cradle me in His love..

i so thankful to Holy Spirit..as He gives me the will power to forgive..as recently i felt irritated when someone next to me keep lying..wait..is that spirit of lying?..i dunno why did i started to harbor some bitterness inside seeing her lying around with other people..thank you for the loving Holy Spirit..i was able to let go the bitterness feeling towards her..and i turn to be more loving and able to forgive her..

last few weeks during the service sunday..it was a preaching about the Holy Spirit..what a blessing as i was doing this study here..i know its not just a coincidence..

last sunday..while i was watching tv..there s a bible on the table..suddenly i took it and flipping to 1 Samuel book, it was the story of David..of how he from a herder, went through some other significant things in life..and finally become a leader..wow..it was so wonderful to read it..as the Holy Spirit is there reading with me..giving me a whole new experience..woaaahh..

its so wonderful, awesome, and lovely, beautiful feeling to dwell with the Holy Spirit today...

this my song to the Holy Spirit..

~I bend my knees~

I ve been standing here for so long now,

Living a meaningless live,

But i know my heart couldn't understand it,

why all that had happened.

Then i saw You from a distance,

And You lifted up my face,

You give Your life, giving me a new hope,

You look me past beyond my weaknesses,

Now i know, just where to stay,

I bend my knees,

I bend my knees,

May i pour out all the fragrances at Your feet,

I bend my knees,

I bend my knees,

Cause i know You are my strength,

I bend my knees.

The more in tune you become to the Holy Spirit, the more I see you growing. See the Holy Spirit helps us when our thoughts towards another turn towards the negative. Instead of immediately praying for this friend, you found yourself becoming negative towards them. Then Holy Spirit stepped in and said...wait a second, I need you to have compassion and reach out to this friend instead.

Holy Spirit is truly amazing. Keep listening and learning sis. I have enjoyed what He has done in you so far.

luv ya

[sweetlittleangel]

Spirit slowly renewed and transforming my spirit..feel something new...i

called being renewed in spirit..slowly and steadily..yes i get it..im not

living for myself anymore..i began to understand..little by little..i did fall

few times along the way..but i want to keep getting up to accomplish His

mission and His purpose for me..yes He slowly grants me with His

willpower to keep moving on..everything is different from what i felt

before..it is simply amazing..i know it is one day at a time change..

i cant expect a rush change..His timing is perfect..i began to learn

trusting in Him..i want Him to change things in my family..thank you God

that He is slowly moving things into its place..yes He is..

[mlg]

sla glad to hear you are home now sis. Have missed ya a ton of monkeys sis.

Don't ya just love it when the Holy Spirit begins to do a work in us? He makes changes happen that we couldn't make ourselves. He opens our eyes and shows us things we never could see before. He opens our mouths and shouts things from it, that we would never have spoke before. The Holy Spirit makes things happen that we find impossible. What a blessing He is.

Hope to see ya in chat sometime soon sis.

luv ya

wow! step 6...really hit..like a bam!

yea..i know grieved the Holy Spirit so many times in the past..

that its grieved me too.. i know i will again in the future.

but im so thankful to Him, that He only wants to hear that five little magical words..everytime i made something not right.." im sorry, i was wrong''.

and im thankful that He keep loving me and for what He has done and for what He is doing in my life currently..despite of what i did.

yea..i started to feel something amazing in my relationship with the Holy Spirit..the fire of God's love.

that it make me wants to encourage others.

it took me a long time the way here..doing a soul searching...esp fter i read step 6 for the first time.

now that im ready to post again

[mlg]

sla, sometimes we have to allow God to search our hearts, and to remove that iniquity that holds us back from truly being where He wants us to be. In fact we often grieve Him when we allow our own motives to be placed in the forefront instead of His. Isn't it such a peaceful feeling that overcomes you, when He comes to you and says, child we need to talk and fix the things that are not right in our relationship? It's like an open chance to make things right with Him. Awww Holy Spirit, thank you for your love and guidance.

One more step sla...

luv ya

good to see you, Sweet Little Angel . . .

when you talk about grieving the Holy Spirit, I think of >

"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:30-32)

So . . . the Holy Spirit can be grieved. This shows me that God has feelings about us and what we do. Isn't this great, that God who is so good and greater and better than us, but He cares about us and has feelings about us and how we are and what we do.

And you are not the only one who can grieve the Holy Spirit, sister Sweet Little Angel > we all need to watch ourselves in prayer, about how we are and what we do and think about. It says do not grieve the Holy Spirit, and right away then it says not to have any

bitterness

wrath, anger, clamor

evil speaking

or malice

These are what grieve the Holy Spirit.

And how to *please* the Holy Spirit > to be

. . . . . .tenderhearted

and forgiving the way God has forgiven us.

The Holy Spirit is pleased and desires that we are forgiving the way God is with us.

How is God forgiving? Does He just let us off the hook and forget us?

No . . . thank You, LORD > You are warmly loving and encouraging in how You forgive us,
wanting to share with us as Your children, as Jesus Family > > >

So, God wants me to be ready for any person to become Jesus Family brother or sister with me. People may be trouble, but we need to not let evil decide how we are. We want to be the way You, God, have us being, instead, with You > thank You so much > please make us more pleasing with You >

"rather let it be the hidden person of the heart,
with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,
which is very precious in the sight of God." (1 Peter 3:4)

to have this fragrance that makes us sweet-smelling . . .

sweetly pleasing to You, please, LORD our Father, in the name of Jesus . . .

Thank You for us sharing around the world . . .

sending you peace with the love dove
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .*DoveOlive* of the Holy Spirit

And we have >
"But he who is joined to the Lord is
. . . . . . . . . .one spirit with Him."
(1 Corinthians 6:17)

So, the Holy Spirit *joins* us so we are "one spirit with Him" >

This is touching us . . . very intimately, more and better than any human can touch us, sister Sweet Little Angel.
