Your Helper, The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God (in trinity). When you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, God sent His Holy Spirit to dwell inside you, joining with your new born again spirit.

This is essential to your spiritual growth, as the Holy Spirit will convict you - guide you - and teach you. Jesus spoke of this to His disciples before He was crucified.

John 16:8 - "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement." NKJV

John 16:13 - "When He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth." NKJV

As you allow the Holy Spirit's guidance and teaching in your new life, and continue to practice daily spiritual disciplines, your spirit will begin to grow and prosper in God's Word.

Christian spiritual growth is dependent on the work and power of the Holy Spirit, however He will often use other stable believers to guide and encourage you, to pray with and for you, and to hold you accountable.

Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. NIV

Remember, you are a new person on the inside (II Corinthians 5:17 a new creation.) However, you still have the same flesh, and the same soul (mind, will, and emotions.)

Romans 12:2 - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. NIV

As you continue to practice spiritual disciplines, adding them to your daily life routines, the Holy Spirit will start to transform you by the "Renewing of your Mind."

Stop thinking like the rest of the world. Get all the old junk out of your head and fill it with Godly thoughts. Start thinking like Jesus. Keep away from those that continue to pollute your mind with evil. Align your thoughts with God, and "Renew Your Mind" according to God's Word...
