Most of us have grown up learning about God by religious teaching. Things like God teaches us through sickness or He will cause or use something bad to get selfish ways out of us, He may take your money so you can know what it feels like to be poor. (I think that is evil). I knew a woman who lost a daughter and believed God needed her in Heaven. My friend Kellie says religion is mean. I agree, but God is not, He is Love! Religion makes excuses to explain why we failed to receive something we were asking for, or why something bad came into our life. Religion usually makes it God's fault, making Him out as a bully. Religion says ,well all things work together for our good. Meaning bad or awful things can work for us. Please say yuck! I want to show you how when we are in trouble The Holy Spirit Who is our Teacher/Helper comes along beside us to help us, because He is good. He is THE Best Friend you will ever know. Look at Romans 8:26. It reads that the Holy Spirit also helpeth our infirmities. That means He takes hold together with us against the problem. He does not cause it, He helps us get it out of our lives. He is called the Helper. You have to like that. If we let Him or allow Him to lead us The Holy Spirit, Who knows everything about everything, will lead us right out of the problem. We have to know Who He is and what He does else we won't follow Him. Also we have to listen to Him with our spiritual ears not the ears on the sides of our head. Now Romans 8:27 reads that He living in our spirit, makes intercession for us according to the will of God/Love. Always The Holy Spirit is working for our good, only good. Please don't think sickness /death/calamity is from Him. No, He is good. Anyway with Him interceding for us, then all things work together for our good. I hope you got that, God is not religious and He needs us to know Him. He wants us to know who He is and who the devil is and not be confused in any situation by which one we are dealing with. God is Love and God is good. The devil is a liar, a thief, a murderer. Let's not get them confused again.
