To See You Through

Good Afternoon, Church Family!

I heard this statement today during my prayer time over you: “I placed My Spirit in you to help see you through.” Glory to God! I am thankful for this! I am thankful for the Holy Spirit Who dwells inside of our spirits, because that means that we are never alone. We always have someone with us, and according to this phrase, He is there to see us through. 

John 16:13 says, “However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth.” That is what we need, a guide that will guide us into all truth - the truth found in God’s word, the truth that will point us down the right path. If we will let the Holy Spirit see us through, we will not be led down the wrong path and will always walk in truth. 

The Greek Lexicon gives this definition to the word guide: “to lead on one’s way, to teach”. The Holy Spirit is given to us to lead us on our way as we go through life. He is given to teach us in the way we should go. But, we have a part to play. We must let Him lead the way. We get to override the fleshy feelings we are going through and push into the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God has our best interest at heart! He will always lead us to greater glory. The flesh, on the other hand, does not have our best interest at heart. The only interest of the flesh is taking care of the flesh.

So, how do we begin the process of letting the Holy Spirit see us through? We begin by faith, and faith says, “I believe that I will be led by the Holy Spirit concerning this situation. I hear His voice and I am always led by Him.” A lot of times after I begin confessing this over myself, I will remember scriptures concerning the situation. That will lead me to confess those scriptures. 

This process is the beginning stages of letting Him lead me through the situation. If we will give Him an open invitation to join us in the battle we are facing, the Holy Spirit lives to help you!  He lives to guide, direct, teach, and show you the right responses and the right way. He will also help you to discern the wrong responses and the wrong way. He will see you through!

So, whatever you may be facing today, invite Him into the situation. Allow Him to bring peace to your mind. Allow Him to direct you. Allow Him to give you the words to say. Allow Him to bring needed knowledge upon the scene. Allow the Holy Spirit to be who God created Him to be: the Helper you need working through you!

I pray for God’s love and peace to surround you today as you allow the Holy Spirit to see you through!
