Have you ever had a stranger come up to you and ask you a question? Surprised, you Wonder why they are asking you.

I was traveling…and encountered this experience. I was surprised and concerned. Why? Because, I was not sure I should trust. I chose to answer.

I walked into a gas station and was paying, when the man behind the counter said to me, “Will you bless my gas station”. Imagine how surprised I was.
I said, “ Why me? “. Because you are a believer, and I want my gas station blessed so it will be a success. This faith He has is a gift. He was told by the Holy Spirit. I for one do not consider myself any different than anyone else.

However, I did bless His gas station. The LORD is in charge and chooses what deems to be holy and blessed…knowing this to be true I chose to oblige. I asked for the LORD to bless his gas station. The prayer was guided by the “HOLY SPIRIT”.

HOW CAN THIS BE YOU ASK….

The power of the “Holy Spirit” guides, directs and protects us.

For years I was not sure I believed in this gift Of “The Holy Spirit”.
It seemed to me to be ridiculous. Then through the years, people would tell me, “God Bless you”. I started to wonder. I wanted to know more.

You see, Just because one is raised in a certain faith does not mean we believe. I pretty much went through the motions for quite some time.

But when I decided I needed to know, I asked. Who did I ask? I asked our “LORD”. WHERE ARE YOU? HE DID ANSWER. “HERE I AM”. STILL NOT SURE I BELIEVED, I CHOSE TO READ SCRIPTURE. This power that I experienced caused me to continue reading. The power I felt was different than what I knew. I could feel the difference.

Then I thought Of the “TEN COMMANDMENTS”. I Decided that was what I needed to do. After all it can’t be that hard.

So I taught myself the ‘TEN COMMANDMENTS’. NOW I figure, I am following the rules.

Yet, still inside of me, I wanted to know more. So, I picked up my ‘BIBLE’. The “HOLY SPIRIT” GUIDED me to the perfect scripture….

Book of John chapter 14 verses 21-22 26
21) “HE WHO OBEYS THE COMMANDMENTS HE HAS FROM ME IS THE MAN WHO LOVES ME; AND HE WHO LOVES ME WILL BE LOVED BY MY FATHER. I TOO WILL LOVE HIM AND REVEAL MYSELF TO HIM.”
22). “JUDAS (NOT ISCARIOT) SAID TO HIM, “LORD, WHY IS IT THAT YOU WILL REVEAL YOURSELF TO US AND NOT THE WORLD?”
23). “JESUS ANSWERED: “ANYONE WHO LOVES ME WILL BE TRUE TO My word, and my Father will love him; we will come to HIM AND MAKE OUR DWELLING PLACE WITH HIM”
26). …”the Paraclete, the “HOLY SPIRIT” whom the Father will send in my name, will instruct you in everything, and remind you of all that I told you.”
