Remember?

… the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.  John 14:26  

The Holy Spirit will teach us all things and help us to remember things. Have you ever lost your keys…or your car and prayed about it? Then miraculously you found your keys…or where you parked your car. That wasn’t just a coincidence. That was the Holy Spirit answering your prayer. God is so good that way…well in lots of ways. It is easy for us to appreciate Him when He ministers to us in little ways. My husband has had a couple of “Jesus” sighting lately. They were just little things, but it ministered to him in a big way…letting him know that Jesus was there with him. He recently fell down some stairs and broke his hip while we were in Lisbon, Portugal doing a Work and Witness project. Jerry was hospitalized there in a public Portuguese hospital for a total hip replacement. He groggily opened his eyes one afternoon to see the name tag of a nurse named Sarah Jesus. Jerry’s eyes first focused on that word “Jesus.” Jesus was taking care of him. Then he realized that it was his nurse, Sarah. She was a delightful person, who spoke a little English—and made life a little less baffling amidst all the constant, incomprehensible babbling in Portuguese that was surrounding him. He felt like the Holy Spirit just provided “Miss Jesus” to illuminate his life. The hospital staff there at the Hospital Beatriz Angelo was very competent. The surgeon, Dr. Pedro Pinto, was outstanding, and performed an anterior hip replacement, that is considered very progressive by doctors here in the United States. Jerry was totally blessed to have Dr. Pinto do his surgery. I image that the Holy Spirit helped that doctor to remember things from his surgical training as he performed that operation on a rather large (6 foot 2 inch) American man. I know I was praying for them both during the surgery…and so were many others. Thank you…people around the world for all your prayers. 

RSVP: Jesus is promising that the Holy Spirit will teach you and help you remember things…like scripture passages and where you left your keys. How will you respond to His promise today? 

Prayer~ Thank you, Jesus, for Your promise that the Holy Spirit will help us remember things that You taught us…things that You want us to remember.
