BIRTHS
Bobbi and Patrick Frost of
Cottage Grove welcomed a
baby girl on November 13 at
PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Med-
ical Center RiverBend.
The Bible repeatedly tells us that God is our helper. The question
is, do we really trust God to help us? It’s easy to respond right away
that we trust Him, but when it comes to practically applying this
truth to our everyday life—leaning on the Holy Spirit to help us in
every area of our lives—we often struggle to do it.
As born-again believers in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit—God’s
Spirit—lives in our spirit. In John 16:7, Jesus said that the Holy
Spirit is our “Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor – Counsel-
or, Strengthener, Standby)” and that He wants “to be in close fel-
lowship” with us (AMP).
It’s so important for us to know that we can have a close, intimate
relationship with the Holy Spirt…that He will communicate with
us. I went to church for many years and had no idea that I could
overcome my problems and live with real peace and joy because
the Holy Spirit lived in my spirit. It was life-changing for me when
I got the revelation that He wanted to lead me in God’s will for my
life and He would enable me to do everything I needed to do.
The truth is if we really believe God is our helper and He’s will-
ing to help us no matter what situation we’re in, then we have no
reason to worry or get overwhelmed.
I’ll let you in on another secret: You need to ask God for help
because the Holy Spirit is not the type to barge into your life and
take over.
Have you ever had someone try to push their opinions or their
agenda on you? They may or may not know what they’re talking
about, and they may not even be really interested in helping you do
what needs to be done, but they sure have a lot to say about what
you’re doing wrong!
That’s not what the Holy Spirit does.
The Holy Spirit knows the answer to every problem, and He will
even help you get through each one. But He won’t give you His
advice unless you ask for it. In other words, the humble get the help.
