That they be new

                It’s good to think that you seem to obtain blessing from the Lord in everything that you do. It is indeed wonderful to be occupied with his presence, as you seem to feel him every time. It makes you feel healthy to see that you are obeying the precepts of the Lord as you observe well the scriptures.

            Let everything be set in order with God’s word as your guide. Be familiar with the doctrinal lines of the scriptures and those, which can help you, become closer to God. You should be aware of God’s nature being both human and divine. The truth about Jesus can help you feel freedom and can make you free from bondage.

            It is our responsibility if how much of the truth contained in the Bible is shared to many. We need to be the light in this world and the salt to the earth. It is our obligation to spread the good news of salvation. We need to propagate the truth much more those revealed by Peter and Paul. The book of John too and other books of the Bible are good.

            We need to take time explaining the scriptures and develop much interest in reading them. We must let the rope we hold passed to others where from its end in us we can encourage others to grip the other end that we may pull them upward. They too need to see the top of the mountain, which in your spiritual life you do enjoy.

            Living in this world is helping each other. When it’s you that is enlightened, you must encourage them to see the same light you do enjoy. You must ask them to try reading the Bible and discover truths even those that had been hid in ages. They must be renewed and refreshed with the Spirit. They must learn to discover deeper realities read.

            Our role is to be a guide to those spiritually blind, and encourage them to enjoy the presence of God through Holy Ghost seeking. When the times of refreshing comes, they too need to be filled with oil which is the Spirit. They must encourage others also; as such mission is passed again and again.

            There is no need to delay the urge to be saved. We cannot just leave others without giving them the chance to be filled with oil of the Holy Ghost and be born of water in baptism if they are not properly baptized. You also need to preach the good news of salvation. You need to be a living witness of the truth about the scriptures.

            Come; let us restore the fire that burns in our hearts just as we first encountered Jesus in our life. We should let the light be placed in the lamp stand and in the place where it would give light to many. We need to grow as we encourage others to also mature in faith, learning to eat the meat of the word than being satisfied only of the milk.

            We need to overcome our past fears, and need not be troubled with unnecessary things. We need to invest our time to productive activities or to the propagation of the word. Let us not be deviated, but instead try to be persistent in explaining the scriptures and encourage others to be new as they can also be refreshed of the Spirit.
