.... ..I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the King's forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy." And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me. (Nehemiah 2:7-8)

PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father, lead my paths in everything I do till I come to a perfect end. Connect my paths with men and women who will favor me at every stage. And may Your good hand O Lord, be upon me all the days of my life in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

HOW DO I GET RIGHT WITH GOD ?
----------------------------------------
In order to get “right” with God, we must first understand what is “wrong.” The answer is sin. “There is no one who does good, not even one” (PSALM 14:3). We have rebelled against God’s commands; we “like sheep, have gone astray” (ISAIAH 53:6).

The bad news is that the penalty for sin is death. “The soul who sins is the one who will die” (EZEKIEL 18:4). The good news is that a loving God has pursued us in order to bring us salvation. Jesus declared His purpose was “to seek and to save what was lost” (LUKE 19:10), and He pronounced His purpose accomplished when He died on the cross with the words, “It is finished!” (JOHN 19:30).

Having a right relationship with God begins with acknowledging your sin. Next comes a humble confession of your sin to God (ISAIAH 57:15). “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (ROMANS 10:10).

This repentance must be accompanied by faith – specifically, faith that Jesus’ sacrificial death and miraculous resurrection qualify Him to be your Savior. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (ROMANS 10:9). Many other passages speak of the necessity of faith, such as JOHN 20:27; ACTS 16:31; GALATIANS 2:16; 3:11, 26; and EPHESIANS 2:8.

Being right with God is a matter of your response to what God has done on your behalf. He sent the Savior, He provided the sacrifice to take away your sin (JOHN 1:29), and He offers you the promise: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (ACTS 2:21).

A beautiful illustration of repentance and forgiveness is the parable of the prodigal son (LUKE 15:11-32). The younger son wasted his father’s gift in shameful sin (VERSE 13). When he acknowledged his wrongdoing, he decided to return home (VERSE 18). He assumed he would no longer be considered a son (VERSE 19), but he was wrong. The father loved the returned rebel as much as ever (VERSE 20). All was forgiven, and a celebration ensued (VERSE 24). God is good to keep His promises, including the promise to forgive. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).

If you want to get right with God, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. "God, I know that I have sinned against You and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness – the gift of eternal life! Amen!"

HOW CAN I BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT ?

An important verse in understanding the filling of the Holy Spirit is John 14:16, where Jesus promised the Spirit would indwell believers and that the indwelling would be permanent. It is important to distinguish the indwelling from the filling of the Spirit. The permanent indwelling of the Spirit is not for a select few believers, but for all believers. There are a number of references in Scripture that support this conclusion. First, the Holy Spirit is a gift given to all believers in Jesus without exception, and no conditions are placed upon this gift except faith in Christ (John 7:37-39). Second, the Holy Spirit is given at the moment of salvation (Ephesians 1:13). Galatians 3:2 emphasizes this same truth, saying that the sealing and indwelling of the Spirit took place at the time of believing. Third, the Holy Spirit indwells believers permanently. The Holy Spirit is given to believers as a down payment, or verification of their future glorification in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 4:30).

This is in contrast to the filling of the Spirit referred to in Ephesians 5:18. We should be so completely yielded to the Holy Spirit that He can possess us fully and, in that sense, fill us. Romans 8:9 and Ephesians 1:13-14 states that He dwells within every believer, but He can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30), and His activity within us can be quenched (1 Thessalonians 5:19). When we allow this to happen, we do not experience the fullness of the Spirit's working and His power in and through us. To be filled with the Spirit implies freedom for Him to occupy every part of our lives, guiding and controlling us. Then His power can be exerted through us so that what we do is fruitful to God. The filling of the Spirit does not apply to outward acts alone; it also applies to the innermost thoughts and motives of our actions. Psalm 19:14 says, "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer."

Sin is what hinders the filling of the Holy Spirit, and obedience to God is how the filling of the Spirit is maintained. Ephesians 5:18 commands that we be filled with the Spirit; however, it is not praying for the filling of the Holy Spirit that accomplishes the filling. Only our obedience to God's commands allows the Spirit freedom to work within us. Because we are still infected with sin, it is impossible to be filled with the Spirit all of the time. When we sin, we should immediately confess it to God and renew our commitment to being Spirit-filled and Spirit-led.

...'I foresaw the LORD always before my face, for He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; moreover my flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. (Acts 2:25-27)

PRAYER

Thank you, Father for Your walls of protection that is around me at all times. Fill my heart with joy and gladness Father, for in You alone I keep my hope and trust all the days of my life. Lift up Your Holy hands O Lord, and let Your will and purpose be done in my life for Your own glory in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
