I am in belief that for me and other Bible believing Born-Again Christians like me, The Lord Jesus Christ is returning soon. The Bible says that “no man knows the day or the hour” but we look at revelation of what Christ gave us; signs of His return and… to look for our Redeemer is drawing near.

Our position here on Earth should to be to focus on seeing our lives are blameless before Him and preach the Good News throughout the entire Earth. While many hearts  are growing cold towards Christ we should not shrink from our responsibility to proclaim the risen Christ and the work He accomplished at the Cross. Instead, we should by faith believe He will empower us through the strength of the Holy Spirit. I do realize for some Christians it is a doctrinal struggle to even mention the name of the Holy Spirit. The truth being told however, The Holy Spirit is God, part of the Trinity of God. the Holy Spirit is available for all believers to help us, encourage us and counsel us on every matter and relationship before us today and everyday. Without the Holy Spirit and His leading, we are like nomads knowing not where we are going-aimlessly wandering everywhere and lacking what God would have us do for Him. It is my point here that we need and should rely on the Holy Spirit for every decision. The Bible says we should “pray without ceasing.” Our Lord will speak to our hearts if we are truly before Him in prayer and open to hearing His voice.

I also mention this about the Holy Spirit because for Christians around the world, first; this is “Holy Week.” We celebrate the death and rise of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as well as His work we could never accomplish; the remission of our sins before a Holy and just God.

Second; yesterday, while at a “Christian Bookstore” , I mentioned to the counter person that it was the Holy Spirit that led me to that store, I was driving by and although I had called that same establishment the week before looking for a particular item, and they informed me they sold no such product, I was led by the Holy Spirit to stop and purchase the item there. Sure enough, after stopping in, after telling me she had no item, she looked in her back storage room and found the exact item I had requested that she said she did not have in stock. She asked me yet again how I came to know the item was there in her store. I referenced the leading of the Holy Spirit. Many questions to me by her about the Holy Spirit followed.

I probably shouldn’t be amazed at her lack of knowledge about the Holy Spirit, but it did astonish me  a bit and felt a prodding from the Holy Spirit now to write this blog; that there are others that proclaim to know our risen Christ but are lacking in their walk with the Lord because they don’t/can’t hear that “small quiet voice” that often is of the Lord leading us to a walk with Him that is of His best for all of us.

May I please suggest that while we all reflect in our prayer and meditation of the greatness of what God has done for us this “Holy Week”, that we go before Him and ask Him: “Lord, right now I will not ask you of anything of material but I praise You, Thank you and humbly  please ask for You to reveal your perfect plan in my life today ?”

My prayer for you is; you would indeed  hear His small quiet voice today.
