The Holy Spirit will teach you everything
and remind you of all I have said to you. JN 14:12
ACTS 14:5-18 ©
My Soul's Beloved,
Hostile authorities have always joined forces with evil men and women to destroy the good, the true, and the beautiful. The enemies of God will use every lie, subterfuge, and all the power available in their arsenal of deceit to disseminate misinformation. The gullible and ignorant are easily manipulated with half-truths.
Belief in the Gospel transforms lives. Miracles are performed by the power of Your Name. The enemies of Truth recognize that they are unable to refute what people have experienced and witnessed with their eyes, the blind see, the lame walk, people are healed physically, spiritually, and emotionally, and the dead are brought to life. The power of the Gospel and the power of Your Name brings about an explosion of joy in the believer that cannot be contained or denied.
This is why Christianity is hated by the enemies of Truth. The power of evil is alive and well in the world because evil thrives in a climate of division. We live in a polarized world. The greater the division between people and nations the greater the dysfunction in the world.
For over two thousand years the enemies of Truth have tried to wipe out Christianity from the face of the earth and have not succeeded because Your Word is true. Truth is invincible.
PSALM 115:3-6
But our God is in the heavens;
he does whatever he wills.
Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
he does whatever he wills.
Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
JOHN 14:21-26 ©
My Soul's Beloved,
We need the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - we need the Father who created us, the Son who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit who sanctifies us - we need the Triune God always so we can live grace-filled lives that are pleasing to God.
Having revealed all that Your Father asked You to Your disciples they, in turn, revealed all to those in the bosom of Holy Mother Church. We are the children who are born of her and to us, God holds nothing back.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, it is possible for the children of God to live our ordinary lives extraordinarily well by living the virtues of faith, hope, and love, heroically.
You say to us,
‘Anybody who receives my commandments and keeps them
will be one who loves me;
and anybody who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I shall love him and show myself to him.’
will be one who loves me;
and anybody who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I shall love him and show myself to him.’
Our love for You becomes visible when we believe Your Word and obey it.
