Godly wisdom for daily living. Hi Line Ministries PO Box 236 St. Marie, MT 59231

Sometimes as a member of the Family of God, if we're not careful, we will leave a window or a door open, and we'll get an unwanted guest coming into our life. The unwanted guest is silent, insidious, crafty and he's pretty good at slightly tiptoeing around, but no make no mistake, he's evil!

Working of Miracles, the Gift of Prophecy and the Gift of Discerning of Spirits.

If the only thing that guides our life or the only thing we expect to get out of life is the possibilities of what mankind, through his own means can accomplish, then, that's all you will get out of life; what the natural man can produce and provide. But if, as a child of God, you renew your mind to what God has provided for us through the blood of His Son Jesus, then you open up your life to all the possibilities that God has in store for you!

As we function in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit we should always be led by the Holy Spirit and remember to intertwine the Fruit of the Holy Spirit with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

We should be as comfortable being a member of our heavenly family as we are with our earthly family.If the only thing you expect & have hope in is what life has produced in the past, then that's all you will ever be destined to receive; but if you renew your mind to God's Word, faith is looking forward to God doing more than what has been accomplished in the past.

The indwelling Holy Spirit tells us things that are coming into our individual lives so He can show us what to avoid and what to embrace. Holy Spirit doesn't force control over us, we have a choice we can listen to the indwelling Holy Spirit or we can choose to listen to our flesh our own mind. The purpose of the fullness or Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

If we don't know what's in the Kingdom of Heaven, how can we access it or use it. When the Bible talks about us prospering it means a lot more than just money! There is mental, emotional, physical, financial, physical and spiritual prospering.

The "indwelling" Holy Spirit will produce in us wonderful, magnificent fruit to help us in journey here on earth.

Christians should be as comfortable as members of the "family of God" as they are with their earthly families.

The indwelling Holy Spirit: guides us into all Truth, tells us what He hears, and He tells us of things to come. We need to learn to tap into the power and abilities of the Holy Spirit living within us.

As Christians the Bible says we are Children of God. Are we comfortable with that? Do we approach God with the same ease we approach our earthly father?

The Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Triune Godhead.

Last week I shared with you that 2026 was a year of choices: I shared with you four things that would help us live in and navigate this new year. The problem was last week I only gave you three.

2026 A year of choices! do we choose to put our hope in mankind's wisdom and our own abilities to solve our problems and the temporary and sometimes non-solutions they bring or are we going to allow the Word of God to be our council and guide.

Jesus's birth is a testimony of God's love, grace and mercy and it transcended time, civilizations, governments, religious authorities, social status and human limitations.

What the "indwelling" Holy Spirit does on our behalf. Intercessor, counselor, advocate, comforter, guides us into all Truth; What is Truth?

In this journey we make from the cradle to the grave that we call life, we are going to meet people who do a lot of irritating, stupid and foolish things especially during the holidays. God would like to help us navigate this journey successfully: to do that God will use just about anything He can to help us and in this case....

What the "indwelling" Holy Spirit, which a person receives upon their profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, does for us.

79 to 89% of people polled reported feeling stressed during this time of the year. Four things we can do to help take the stress out of this Holiday Season.

So far we have learned, the Holy Spirit possesses the attributes of a person, we've learned the activities the Holy Spirit engages in concerning humans, the relationship the Holy Spirit has with human beings; the Holy Spirit possesses the Divine attributes of the Godhood, we've learned the different names the Holy Spirit is referred to and the symbols that illustrate Him; all these things testify to the vast Realm of the Spirit's operation in the Old and New Testament and in the present-day church.

When Jesus died and rose again, God reconciled the entire world to Himself. But the reconciliation, the forgiveness, the peace that God provided for us at the Cross is not automatically applied to every person's heart.

The first king of Israel was appointed at the insistence of the people. He was chosen because of his outward appearance, but he disobeyed God and as a result is reign came to an end. The next king was chosen by God and he was chosen because of his heart.

Last week the question was asked, "if once someone has blasphemed the Holy Spirit or fallen away can they be restored?"

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the daily struggles of life that without realizing it would become agitated, stirred up, and we can allow our hearts to be troubled. What can we do when these times invade our lives?

The Holy Spirit engages in many activities involving our lives; revealing, teaching, witnessing, interceding, speaking, commanding and testifying. He also interacts with us. He can be grieved, He can be lied to and He can be blasphemed.

Through His work on the cross, Jesus substitutes or exchanges many of our earthly experiences with His provisions. When we don't know what Christ has done for us, we open ourselves up to fail in our relationship with God and to be taken advantage of by evil people and wrong thoughts that would try to dismantle our relationship with God and make chaos of our life here on earth.

The Holy Spirit is the 3rd Person of the Triune Godhead. The Holy Spirit has all the characteristics of a person and there are numerous activities He engages in.

2 Corinthians 8:9 (AMP) For you are recognizing more clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [His astonishing kindness, His generosity, His gracious favor], that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich (abundantly blessed).For those who will receive the Redemptive work provided by the Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus exchanges (substitutes) many of our Earthly experiences with the provisions He made through the cross & His subsequent resurrection.

The Third person of the Triune Godhead. The Scripture states clearly that the Triune Godhead operates co-equally, co-eternally, and co-existently (or as one unit).

2 Corinthians 8:9 is one of the many verses in the Bible telling us of the substitutionary work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When it comes to binding and loosing there are three questions to ask yourself.

When we see all that is going on around us, it is easy to feel insignificant or helpless. To feel there is nothing we can do but "pray." BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE!

The Bible is the definitive (complete, ultimate) handbook on living a successful life here on earth. It covers every aspect of our life. There isn't a financial advisor on this earth that can compare with the Bible insights into dealing with money. There isn't a dating coach alive that can give us the informed instructions on dating as the Bible can. When it comes to marriage, there isn't a marriage counselor available that has the understanding of the husband - wife relationship that the Bible has.

Three questions imperative to "binding and loosing." Do I have the spiritual authority in this matter? Is what I want to bind or loose in line with God's will? Am I a part of the problem I want to bind?

God created us for fellowship with Him, but He wanted our fellowship to be based upon a mutual desire not an imposed command, so God gave mankind the freedom of choice.

God has provided the provision of binding and loosing through His cross; the Church (Born again believers) is then charged with implementation of what Jesus has released to his life, death and Resurrection.

It brings life. Proverbs 4: 20-22 (NLT) 20 My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. 21 Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, 22 for they bring life to those who find them and healing to their whole body.There are two types of life: our physical being as we live down here on earth and eternal life.

Binding and loosing has to do with forbidding or permitting. To forbid or permit something means the individual doing the forbidding or permitting has been given the authority to do so.

The importance of knowing the Word; not just any word the Word of God. It increases our faith, it is the first step in having our prayers answered.

What did Jesus mean when He said, "whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven?"

There are approximately 15,000 self-help books published in the United States each year. The words in these self-help articles, whether on paper or recordings have no power in and of themselves. Not so with the Word of God!

Faith and its cooperating forces: Knowledge, corresponding action, patience, and love. The first three words of 1 Corinthians 13:8 are "Love never fails". When we respond in love to people, even those who don't deserve it, that love will never fail! We have God's Word on that!

The enemy, Satan, and many liberal pundits would like you to believe the Bible isn't relevant for today; but this book that some people say is not relevant in today's society is not only the best seller on the "New York Times" bestseller list but also around the world!

What happens when a leg breaks on one of your tables?

Amid the chaos and seemingly unnecessary pain in this fallen world, God has always been and always will be good!

Patience doesn't surrender to circumstances or succumb come under trial. Patience is courage under fire. Patience answers every doubt and fear with the assurance of God's Word.

As a Born-Again Believer, you have residing inside of you Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. The Bible is very specific about what the Holy Spirit will do for us as believers.

Hebrews 6:12 "that you do not become lazy but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."The word patience used in this verse is only used one other time in the New Testament in James 5:10 and it means "to be long-tempered."

One of the most important steps that you can take in allowing God to speak to you is that you believe, have faith, that God wants to speak to you!
