Reconciling Relationships

Jesus loves us so much that He sent us a helper, the Holy Spirit. Jesus spoke in the Gospel of John about a wonderful relationship that He was sending to His disciples after He was gone. He told them of this beautiful intimate relationship that they would experience that would be better than being with Him.

Sometimes people confuse the different manifestations of our Lord. They will say that God is a big God and is not relational at all but someone to be revered and worshipped. And of course He is that. However He is also an intimate relational God whoose greatest desire is to have an intimate relationship with His people.

That relationship is through the person of the Holy Spirit. God in His infinite wisdom knew that we needed a big God. Someone that we could run to when everything in life was falling apart and He would shelter us under His mighty arms. But He also knew that to have a relationship with us, He would need to be close to us indeed even inside of us. As the book of Ephesians points out, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of us when we become believers. But He does not force himself on anyone so He waits for an invitation for relatrionship with us.

He is there for us all the time. Willing to share His most intimate secrets with us if we will only ask and seek a relationship with Him. He longs to bless us with His wisdom. Ask Him today to begin that intimate relationship with Him. He will speak to you in ways you would not believe possible before. He will give you specific advice and counsel about your situation and help you through it. Imagine the wisdom of the ages available to us 24/7!

Ask Him in to your life and begin a relationship with the King of Kings today.

Augusta to Greenville

We did back to back interviews on Christian TV stations last week. in Augusta,GA on TV 49, a wonderful Christian station broadcasting the truth to millions of people around Augusta and on cable and sat internationally to ove 50 countries. Russell and Dorothy Spaulding, the station owners interviewed us for two hours on their Club 36 program.

Russell and Dorothy before buying the station walked with the Cross from Florida to Washington, DC and then for eight years all around the country. They never planned one day before another, never asked for money or a place to stay along the road. God provided for them every day with food and shelter and wonderful people. Their book "We Walk by Faith" chronicles the years they spent walking the Cross throughout the United States.

Then on to Greenville and a great Christian station, TV 16 broadcasting to millions of viewers all over the Carolinas. Our hosts, Bill and Ann are wonderful Christian servants, Bill is a pastor and long time host of TV 16's Nite Line program. This station gave a start to Tammy Faye and it is where she did a nightly cooking show.

We were able to tell people about the wonderful relationship waiting for them in the person of the Holy Spirit. He is one who will give us intimate and specific instructions if we will only ask Him. He is the Third Cord that binds a marriage together. Our book Third Cord Secret is available through our website at www.thirdcordsecret.com
