Alone, Abandoned and Powerless

For way too long christians like myself have felt alone abandoned
and powerless. We believed that Jesus is the Christ the son of God.
However we also knew that Jesus went back to the father shortly
after his resurrection. Because he went back to the Father we at
times would feel like we where orphans that had been left behind
to carry on the work of God. This is exactly how Satan wants us to
feel. In the following passages both Paul and Jesus describe what
one is like if we listen to Satan and try to go at it alone.
2 Timothy 3:5, Matthew 5:13, Matthew 23:27-28

Satan deceives us with two powerful lies. The first lie he wants us to
believe is that the Bible is not the inspired word of God. However Paul
tells that this is not true in the following verse:
2 Timothy 3:16
The second lie Satan uses alot is that God does not love you and that
you really do not need God. Or you can do it yourself. Again we can
see examples of this in the following verses that Jesus confronts these
lies and also tells us what Satan is really like:
John 5:39-40,John 8:42-47
This is not what God intended and he never intended for us to go at
it alone or without his help. God intended that the Holy Spirit would
be our guide and counselor and we would work hand and hand with
God (His Spirit). This is clearly mentioned by Jesus in the following
verses: John 14:15-18!
We Need God's Spirit more then ever and it is time that we learned
all we can about his Spirit and quit denying our need for God's Spirit.
The next lessons will be focusing on how do we receive the Holy Spirit
and getting to actually know the Holy Spirit of God.
