Jesus Promises Another Helper

Praying in tongues, that was what I caught this week, after hearing Pastor Prince shared and being reminded again by Pastor Lian. Keep praying in tongues, when you are weary and tired...

Am still a student, am still having mountains of school work to do, am still having some issues at home. But seeing all this problems in the way Jesus says it to be, somehow, made light of these issues.

I love how sweetly Jesus's love for me is being revealed, as I am (now) taking a break from studying in Sci Lib. I began to realise I can be more effective studying in the lib then at home, where the bed is very tempting.

John 14:15
16" And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever -
17 "the Spirit of truth, whom the word cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you".

Coolest! Jesus will not leave me wandering aimlessly, He will not leave me in despair... HE will come to me! And to you too...

And revealing further...

2 Corinthians 4:7
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you. 13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,”we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Gathering from verse 15, I felt that through my journey, Daddy God's grace has indeed spread through many... like all of you beloveds, who showed concern for me. Indeed, in times of rough journeys, Daddy sent His beloved children to edify and encourage each other, that His LOVE is spread through many. Love propagates! Coolest!

Seeing the Invisible
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.



Daddy's love prevails! And He gave us the Holy Spirit who makes holds us up, together in the truth. Praying in tongues, indeed produces the rest and the refreshing, the renewal of the inner man. Pray in tongues before you start revision and after. It helps your inner man alot!!!
