Good morning, good morning, good morning. We're back on track. It is June the 16th, 2026. I'm so grateful that you all tuned in once again. We invite God into our space right now as we prepare to hear what thus says the Lord. Today's topic for our devotion is trust the Spirit. Amen. We are very grateful for the Holy Spirit. We know that life can be overwhelming sometimes. We know that decision making can be hard sometimes. And we know that trials and tribulations can be frustrating sometimes. But God said in his word that he will leave us a comforter. St. John 14 and 26. God said, But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance. Whosoever I have said unto you, Amen. May the Lord have a blessing to the hearing and the reading and the doing of his word. This is such a beautiful promise. I will send you a comforter in my name, teaching you all things, bringing all things back to your remembrance. That right there is beautiful, teaching us all things, restoring us, showing us the way, giving us more wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. I thank God right now for the Holy Spirit. Amen. I thank God right now for the comforter, our helper, our teacher, and our guide. We thank God right now for this Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is not just for church services. The Holy Spirit comes with us, lives with us, resides with us, right? The Holy Spirit is with us when we're making decisions every day. The Holy Spirit is with us when we're facing uncertainty. The Holy Spirit is with us when we're praying for direction. I'm telling you, the Holy Spirit is with us each and every day. We have to invite the Holy Spirit in. Amen. We have to pray to the Holy Spirit. We have to say, God, send your Holy Spirit to help me make the right decisions. God, please send your Holy Spirit because I'm dealing with uncertainty right now. You see what I'm saying? We have to invite the Holy Spirit in. We have to hold God to his word, right? He said in his word. But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name. He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance. This is what we have to remember. The Holy Spirit is with us always, amen. We need to be stronger in asking the Holy Spirit to make us smarter, to prepare us more, to make us capable to follow the word of Jesus Christ. Amen. We need to understand that the Holy Spirit is the truth. And I need you to ask yourself these questions sometimes. The Holy Spirit has a way of guiding us when we least expect it, right? Ask yourself this. Do I truly reach out to the Holy Spirit? Does the Holy Spirit truly work in me? Have you ever had a sudden thought to call someone and then only to discover once you call them that they desperately needed that phone call that you called them for? I was just on my mind, I just wanted to call you real quick. And then they just poured out their heart to you. That's the Holy Spirit. Have you ever felt prompt to pray for someone and later learn they were going through a difficult season? That's the Holy Spirit. Have you ever opened your Bible and found the exact scripture you needed at the exact time in your life? That is the Holy Spirit. Those moments is reminders that God has sent His Holy Spirit to lead us, to guide us, and to speak through us, right? And to connect with people heart to heart and breast to breast. Amen. And I want you to know that the Holy Spirit is with us because the Holy Spirit wants us to know that we can always learn something new, that we always can grow, that our heart needs to be a heart that wants to desire to follow him each and every day. Amen. The Holy Spirit is not looking for ways to confuse us, but the Holy Spirit is looking for ways to lead us into the truth, lead us into what God is saying before our very eyes. The Holy Spirit is here to help us to grow, and the Holy Spirit is here to direct our steps. Even when we make mistakes, God's grace is still sufficient for each and every one of us. And I want you to know that the Holy Spirit is here, giving us every detail that lies ahead of us in due season. The Holy Spirit means that we're going to trust the great I am. The Holy Spirit is saying, take a step of faith, because I'm leading you through the word of God. Amen. I want you to know that we have to learn how to say, Lord, lead me, guide me along the way. For if you lead me, I will not stray. That's a song, look it up. We have to learn how to say, Lord, lead me, guide me, teach me, help me along this journey. I want you to know before we pray that you have a helper, you have a guide, you have a comforter, you have the Holy Spirit. And as we reflect today, ask yourself these questions. Do I rely on the Holy Spirit in my witness? Do I rely on the Holy Spirit when I'm being a witness? How can I become more sensitive to his guidance? Amen. Maybe the answer is spending more time in prayer. Maybe it's slowing down enough just to listen to what God is saying. Whatever it is, God is ready to meet you where you are. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come before your throne today with grateful hearts. Just saying thank you, oh God.

When we face decisions, oh God, guide us. When we feel uncertain, oh God, reassure us. When we feel weak, God, please give us your strength. When we need wisdom, oh God, teach us. I pray. Honey Father, help us become more sensitive to your voice. Quiet the distractions that compete for our attention, oh God.

Because one conversation, one decision, one faithful step is being led through you by the Holy Spirit to touch someone else. Amen. One conversation can change someone's life. One decision can change someone's life. One faithful step can change someone's life in a good way. In a good way. So I want to thank you all for spending time with me today.
