The Day of Small Things from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. As with many of my messages, this was a word for me, but I will share it with you as I found it encouraging. I have been building a new social media website for Refreshing Hope behind the scenes for months. It is a massive undertak... -
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send ou...

Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth dea...

I have said these things to you, while still living with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you." John 14:25'27 WEB.
One of the most challenging and rewarding things you will ever undertake is to learn to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit. He has more wisdom than planet Earth combined and is always just a prayer away. The Holy Spirit is not limited to Biblical knowledge. He was there when God created the universe as the Spirit hovering over the waters (Genesis 1:2). He will still be with the bride at the end of the Book (Revelation 22:17). He is here to stay.
The Holy Spirit knows "All things," and He will share them with you if you take the time to ask. The Holy Spirit was with Moses (Numbers 11:29), He spoke through the prophets (Nehemiah 9:30), He came mightily on David (1Samuel 16:13), Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:1). The Apostles were all filled with the Holy Spirit, multiple times (Acts 2:4, Acts 4:21) and many others, even gentiles (Acts 10:45).
We are commanded to be filled with the Spirit: "Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18).
Yet many today do not even know that He exists, or teach others that He was only a part of church history: "It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples. He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit" (Acts 19:1'2).
The Holy Spirit is alive and well today, and learning to be sensitive to His guidance will forever change your life. He has given me wisdom as a carpenter, transmission mechanic, computer technician, programmer, and writer. He has infinite wisdom to share about any subject that you face.
Today if you run out of answers, pray to our Heavenly Father, listen, and then watch for the response. It may be an email, a commercial, a road sign, or words from a friend, but you will recognize it when it comes. We do not have to walk alone, for He is with us.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please fill me with Your Holy Spirit just as You have so many others. Share Your wisdom and knowledge with me today. Teach me new and better ways to do things. Help me see what others do not. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Amen! Pastor Dion I know we have talked about this before, But last night I was watching tv with Karen after dinner. And right out of no where I got and answer to a prayer to holy spirit earlier in the day. I had been working on setting up the new Mac , And everything has gone really well. But I could not connect to my server, The I checked with my laptop couldnt connect to my server. My brain was tired from working all day I asked holy spirit to help me. Well intead of waiting until today holy spirit told me in the middle of a tv show I wasnt even thinking about it, He said check the ip address I did and it wasnt the right Ip address the lights came on, I had accidently swapped the wireless USB network drives between 2 computers. Switched them back and all was well. Holy Spirit Will Help You! He helped me with something even when I was doing something else. So Tune in He really will help you but you have to listen! :) And I read this devotional a day late but it was perfect timing beacause of the experience last night. God is so awesome.
