The story of Christian reformation, revival, and renaissance underscores that the darkest hour is often just before the dawn, so we should always be people of hope and prayer, not gloom and defeatism. God the Holy Spirit can turn the situation around in five minutes.

Prayer is standing in the presence of God with the mind in the heart; that is, at that point of our being where there are no divisions or distinctions and where we are totally one. There God's Spirit dwells and there the great encounter takes place. There heart speaks to heart, because there we stand before the face of the Lord, all-seeing, with us.

In order to get a full understanding of the Holy Scripture, you have to have the HOLY SPIRIT in you.

We are sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.

If we never had to experience suffering, then we would be gods ourselves."
