Holy Spirit Come

Posted on April 1, 2026 by Doula Faith

“But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” John 16:7

When Jesus gathered His disciples together before His crucifixion, He told them He was going away but would send them a Helper, the Holy Spirit, Who would not leave them but would always be there.

In CS Lewis’s  “7 Words Christians Forget to Say to the Holy Spirit”, I learned the Holy Spirit is always there, waiting,  but to receive all He has for me, I have to learn how to be quiet, allow Him to Speak and to Listen to all HE says.

Due to an ongoing and very painful circumstance, I at times, fall in and out of depression.  So I asked the Lord to HELP me. He is always faithful and led me to this powerful teaching I want to share.

                                                                     (YouTube: CS Lewis Wisdom Transcript)

This is video explores a deeply personal journey of spiritual growth, centering on the ideat that the Holy Spirit desires an intimate relationship rather than mere religious performance. The speaker shares seven simple, powerful words that act as “doorways” to a deeper communion with the Holy Spirit. These words are not a formula but a sacred vocabulary for navigating life.

The Seven Words of Communion:

  1. Surrender (2:46): Moving past the idea of defeat, the speaker defines surrender as an exchange—giving up the burden of control to receive God’s peace and wisdom.
  2. Abide (5:49): Reframing faith from an occasional visit to God into a way of living, remaining with Him through the mundane and the difficult.
  3. Yield (8:06): Transitioning from simple obedience to offering permission for the Holy Spirit to inhabit and guide one’s life.
  4. Speak (10:39): Learning to use one’s voice as an instrument for God, believing that words spoken in the Spirit have the power to create light and build others up.
  5. Wait (13:22): Understanding that waiting is not a punishment or a delay, but a season of preparation where strength is renewed and trust is forged.
  6. Listen (16:01): Cultivating a posture of stillness to hear the “still, small voice” of the Spirit, transforming prayer from a monologue into a friendship.
  7. Come (18:34): An open invitation to the Holy Spirit, acknowledging that He is always near and waiting for the heart to open and welcome His presence.

By incorporating these seven words into daily life, the speaker emphasizes that one can move from striving to a state of divine peace and intimacy, where the presence of the Holy Spirit feels not like a distant concept, but like home.

Evolution Delusion

Posted on March 21, 2026 by Doula Faith

“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.” Romans 1:25

One of the destructive lies undermining the fabric of God’s infallible Truth is the lie concerning the origin of the universe and life. Within the theory of evolution, there is an attempt to explain its beginning. But because there is no scientific method  including observations, there is no hypothesis that can be tested. So what you have actually is a denial of the facts.

“For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” Romans 1:20 NLT

Simply stated, if you believe you come from nothing, then you can believe you are going to nothing, and your life is for nothing and void of purpose.
So why not, “Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you may die.”
So generations of our youth run reckless lives, believing there are no consequences and no rewards because there is no God. And the sad outcome of going nowhere fast, is that many take their lives.
  But what does God’s Word say?
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
In your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.”_ Psalm 139: 13-16

I believe there is an innate awareness of God’s existence, especially during childhood.
It takes a series of indoctrinations to persuade a child that there is no God.
And about this, God has something to say:

“But Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” Matthew 19:14

And furthermore …………..

“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

Man’s Lie
The Evolution Theory is one of many disastrous components causing a decrease in faith.  And the increase in suicide among children aligns with this tragedy.  Since the 1950’s, there has been a steady increase in suicide coinciding with the indoctrination of the “No God” theory, and the purposeful removal of God’s Word and prayer from our secular schools.

“There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.”
Proverbs 14:12

“Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the life, and the Truth.  No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Dear One, know that you were made in the image of God. He has a wonderful purpose and plan for your life. He not only exists but wants to have a close relationship with you.  He took care of your sin problem (unbelief) by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to the Cross
(He was crucified) to suffer for your sins. But after three days, He rose from the grave.
One sin separates you from a Holy and Just God, and therefore, because God is Just, He must punish sin. (Romans 6:23)

The Good News
Two thousand years ago, Jesus came as a man filled with God’s Spirit. He was God in the flesh. You can ask Him to forgive you for your disbelief and for your sins, and you will be forgiven. Jesus promises you an abundant life here on earth, and when you die, a life with Him in heaven.
You Can Read God’s Word for yourself.  John 3:16

If you want to accept God’s gift of eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ, you can pray this prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross for the punishment of my sins and for His forgiveness.  I believe He not only died for me but was resurrected from the dead on the third day as proof of eternal life.
I am asking you to forgive me for my sins and to receive your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name, Amen

God Sent His Word

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Doula Faith

 

“So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

As I sat waiting for my Christian friend to arrive, I did not expect much to happen, for I had been in this psychiatric center for five months, with little hope that God really wanted to help me.  After all, as far as I could understand, I had just gone too far in misrepresenting who He was.
I was not wavering in faith in believing Who Jesus was but rather doubting who I was.

But God  had a plan for my life and it was GOOD! (Jeremiah 29:11).
I had always believed in His Word, but now His Word, I believed was condemning me. I had misinterpreted it and thought I had lost my salvation. It wasn’t until later, I realized how costly this was.  But God is patient, gracious, loving and full of mercy. So He sent His Word through a friend, and when she read it, I thought of only one thing.
What else could I do but “Wait” ?

“But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” BSB (my emphasis)

Shortly thereafter, I was released from the PC and returned home still experiencing doubts. But, little did I know God was about to perform what He had said. And it happened on a flight to Michigan. On each flight I was assigned to sit near the wing of the plane.  This proved providential – Isaiah 4o: 30-31

Unfortunately, It was during this visit with relatives, I became depressed and emotional. When my mom witnessed my breakdown she wanted to take me home. But instead of wallowing in self-pity, I decided right then and there  I would not ruin this trip, and instead said,  “Mom, I’ll just have to wait on the Lord ”.
That was the moment when I heard the Lord’s small still voice:

Saying, “Don’t give it the time of day, just walk away.”

So in obedience I began ignoring the voice of condemnation and moved forward in faith. While focused, I was strengthen as I felt more and more of God’s affirming presence. It was as though He were standing right next to me holding me up, and “His Peace that surpasses all  understanding” I eagerly embraced.  (Romans 8:1)

On the return flight home while seated once again near the wing, I heard again Him say,

“Even if you just sit there and twiddle your thumbs, and do nothing else, I can neither love you more nor less, because my love is perfect.” 

I realized He was saying there was nothing I could do to earn his love, nor anything to lose it, because it wasn’t who I was but who He is and what His Son did to secure my salvation as “permanent”. His work is finished! (Ephesians 1: 13-14, John 19:30)

“Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” John 6: 28-29
(my emphasis)

What I learned is when you can speak the Word you believe, God moves on your behalf. That is why I want to encourage you to read the Word yourself and not just read it, but believe it, confess it and apply it to your life.

“From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.”  Isaiah 64:4 BSB

My Prayer: Thank You Lord, for accomplishing what you desired, And succeeding in your purpose to deliver me and manifesting your unconditional love.  1980
