The Holy Spirit as Guide and Teacher

I have observed  pastors and teachers are constantly interpreting the Bible through their filtering system i.e. through what they believe is possible.

This morning, I was listening to a pastor on a Christian channel. As soon as I heard him twisting a particular verse to fit into his belief system, I switched off.

That's why it's important to study the Bible with the Holy Spirit as your guide and teacher. Since He inspired the Bible, He reveals the truth as it is, not what you believe it is.

Sometimes, the Holy Spirit will guide you to a particular teacher who He is using as His instrument.

The Holy Spirit will also teach you how to use discernment, as there are many false teachings and false doctrines.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for being my guide and teacher. ❤️

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Bananas

Image
 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊

Indiana Jones

Image
Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️
