(Week of January 6-12)How Holy Spirit Helps UsTheme Scripture(Philippians 4:13) For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.Paragraph 1(2 Corinthians 4:7-9) However, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not from us. 8?We are hard-pressed in every way, but not cramped beyond movement; we are perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out; 9?we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed.Paragraph 2(1 John 5:19) We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.(Ephesians 6:12) because we have a struggle, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.Paragraph 3(2 Corinthians 12:9) But he said to me: “My undeserved kindness is sufficient for you, for my power is being made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly, then, I will boast about my weaknesses, in order that the power of the Christ may remain over me like a tent.(Acts 18:1-4) After this he departed from Athens and came to Corinth. 2?And he found a Jew named Aq?ui·la, a native of Pon?tus who had recently come from Italy with Pris·cil?la his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. So he went to them, 3?and because he had the same trade, he stayed at their home and worked with them, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4?He would give a talk in the synagogue every sabbath and would persuade Jews and Greeks.Paragraph 4QUESTION (2 Corinthians 12:7) just because of receiving such extraordinary revelations. To keep me from becoming overly exalted, I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to keep slapping me, so that I might not be overly exalted.QUESTION 2 Corinthians 12:8, 9) Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it would depart from me. 9?But he said to me: “My undeserved kindness is sufficient for you, for my power is being made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly, then, I will boast about my weaknesses, in order that the power of the Christ may remain over me like a tent.READ (2 Corinthians 12:7) just because of receiving such extraordinary revelations.

Again I will say, Rejoice! 5?Let your reasonableness become known to all men. The Lord is near. 6?Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7?and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.Paragraph 6(Psalm 61:3, 4) For you are my refuge, A strong tower that protects me from the enemy. ?4?I will be a guest in your tent forever; I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)(2 Corinthians 4:8, 9) We are hard-pressed in every way, but not cramped beyond movement; we are perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out; 9?we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed.(Philippians 4:13) For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.Paragraph 8(2 Peter 1:21) For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.Paragraph 9(Acts 27:15) As the ship was violently seized and was not able to keep its head against the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.Paragraph 11(Psalm 119:32) I will eagerly pursue the way of your commandments Because you make room for it in my heart.Paragraph 13QUESTION (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17?so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.READ (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17?so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.(Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.Paragraph 14(Psalm 22:22) I will declare your name to my brothers; In the midst of the congregation I will praise you.(Revelation 2:29) Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.’Paragraph 15(Romans 15:18, 19) For I will not presume to speak about anything except what Christ has done through me in order for the nations to be obedient, by my word and deed, 19?with the power of signs and wonders, with the power of God’s spirit, so that from Jerusalem and in a circuit as far as Il·lyr?i·cum I have thoroughly preached the good news about the Christ.Paragraph 16(Matthew 7:7-11) “Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you; 8?for everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking, it will be opened. 9?Indeed, which one of you, if his son asks for bread, will hand him a stone? 10?Or if he asks for a fish, he will not hand him a serpent, will he? 11?Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him!(Luke 11:13) Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!”(James 1:17) Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, coming down from the Father of the celestial lights, who does not vary or change like the shifting shadows.Paragraph 16 (FOOTNOTE)(Luke 3:21) Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus too was baptized. As he was praying, the heaven was opened up,(Luke 5:16) However, he often went into the desolate areas to pray.(Luke 6:12) On one of those days he went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night in prayer to God.(Luke 9:18) Later, while he was praying alone, the disciples came to him, and he questioned them, saying: “Who are the crowds saying that I am?”(Luke 9:28, 29) In fact, about eight days after saying these words, he took Peter, John, and James along and climbed up the mountain to pray. 29?And as he was praying, the appearance of his face changed and his clothing became glitteringly white.(Luke 18:1) Then he went on to tell them an illustration about the need for them always to pray and not to give up,(Luke 22:41) And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw away, and he bent his knees and began to pray,(Luke 22:44) But he was in such agony that he kept praying more earnestly; and his sweat became as drops of blood falling to the ground.Paragraph 17QUESTION (Luke 11:5-9) Then he said to them: “Suppose one of you has a friend and you go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6?because one of my friends has just come to me on a journey and I have nothing to offer him.’ 7?But that one replies from inside: ‘Stop bothering me. The door is already locked, and my young children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything.’ 8?I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything because of being his friend, certainly because of his bold persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs. 9?So I say to you, keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you.QUESTION (Luke 11:13) Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!”READ (Luke 11:5-9) Then he said to them: “Suppose one of you has a friend and you go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6?because one of my friends has just come to me on a journey and I have nothing to offer him.’ 7?But that one replies from inside: ‘Stop bothering me. The door is already locked, and my young children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything.’ 8?I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything because of being his friend, certainly because of his bold persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs. 9?So I say to you, keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you.READ (Luke 11:13) Therefore, if you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!”(Luke 11:8) I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything because of being his friend, certainly because of his bold persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.Paragraph 18(Psalm 10:17) But you will hear the request of the meek, O Jehovah. You will make their hearts firm and pay close attention to them.(Psalm 66:19) But God did hear; He paid attention to my prayer. ................
