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. ❤️ ----- Related Bible verses: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

Break Cover

Usually a day or two before an event, our agency briefs us about what is expected of us and our uniforms. For this particular event, I was only asked about it the day before. I presumed someone had dropped out at the last minute and I was available to cover.  The night before the event, our supervisor texted us a 23 page brief from the client. I was feeling overwhelmed after reading the first three pages. I asked God to help me understand the information. Our supervisor soon texted us a six page document with the main points from the client's brief. Although our supervisor's version was a lot simpler, it was still a lot of information to take in. I had a feeling I wouldn't even need all that information anyway as I was only doing break cover for one day. I decided to go to bed.  The next morning, I prayed for God to make my day at the event easy, fun and wonderful. At the event, everything made sense.  Visitors could download the company's app anyway, which had all the ...

Love Interests

When I told my boss I was going to central London after work to take photos of these beautiful trees, he said, "That's very lovely." At first, I thought he was being polite. Then he said, "Are you a member of the Woodland Trust?" "Actually, I am," I said. "Me too," he said. ""I love trees. I am a tree hugger." "Me too, I think trees are wonderful." We then chatted for a few minutes about our mutual love of trees and our favourite parks. He also told me he has a huge elm in his back garden which is protected.  He then let me leave work an hour early to pursue my love interests. 😊❤️ These photos are of Berkeley Square in central London. Apparently they are called Plane trees and have been there since the 18th century.

God is Changeless and Timeless

On this day in 2019, I explored Hampstead Heath and took some photos. One thing I love about woods and forests is how timeless and changeless they are. In a thousand year's time, this Heath will still look the same.  I believe the Heath represents God's eternal attributes. God is changeless and timeless.❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: “For I am the Lord, I do not change;" Malachi 3:6 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13: 8

Army Veterans

I bought this card from the museum shop I was working at. The volunteer I was working with actually painted the poppies on the card and the proceeds goes to the Hospital. He and his colleagues were recently featured on the front page of The Times. (See attached photo. He is right in front wearing shades). Thank you, God, for giving me the opportunity to meet and work with Army veterans. ❤️ Link of museum:  Interactive Exhibition | Royal Hospital Chelsea https://share.google/y2rpSdhS11guQ1kzY

Mary and Martha

Image
It is written in the Bible (Luke 10: 38-42) that Jesus went to visit Martha and Mary. Martha welcomed Jesus into her house. We are told while Martha was busy serving, Mary sat at Jesus's feet to listen to His teachings. 7 I can imagine Martha was busy preparing food and snacks for Jesus and His disciples.  Martha got resentful about her sister not helping her and said to Jesus:  “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” Luke 10: 40 Jesus answered:  “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.  But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10: 41-42 In this story, Martha represents service and Mary our relationship with God. Jesus is pointing out that the one thing needed from us is being in His presence and feeding from Him.   I find there is a Martha spirit in the church. As soon as you join a church, you are encouraged to...
