The Holy Spirit will help you to know God's will for you and help you to understand His message to us in the Bible. Daniel, I Corinthians 2:10-16 tells us "God has revealed to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's Spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit of who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgements about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: For who has known the mind of the Lord that He may instruct him? But |

For who has known the mind
of the Lord that He may instruct him? But
we have the mind of Christ.
I would like to pray for you, Lord I pray
that you will continue to grow in YOU,
that YOU will study Your Word and pray
for Your guidance in YOUR life. In
Jesus' name I pray, Amen. |

Help Someone Find GodLook to Jesus Imagine that you discovered a simple
cure for every kind of cancer. Would you
want to share it with everyone? Of
course! Well, humanity is sick with something far
worse than cancer: It’s called sin, and it
causes never-ending death. But God in
His mercy has provided the cure: His Son,
Jesus Christ. This great news needs to be shared with
people everywhere. Jesus’ last command
to His disciples was to share the gospel
and help people all over the world
become His followers (Acts 1:. Tell Your StoryYou can start sharing with
a friend by simply telling what has
happened to you. John’s Gospel tells
how Jesus healed a blind man. The
hostile leaders kept questioning him
about Jesus. The man who had regained his sight simply said, "One thing I do
know, that though I was blind, now I
see" (John 9:25). So start by sharing your own story. Tell
how Jesus has changed you and forgiven
your sins. Your life can show how God
changes people. Tell God’s StoryAfter tellin |

After telling your story, go on to share about the Problem (sin) and the Solution (Jesus), which are summed up in Romans 6:23: “The cost of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Tell your friend that no one is good enough to make it to Heaven, but that “all who did receive him [Jesus], who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). And then simply invite your friend to ask Jesus Christ for salvation and forgiveness. Do It All in the Power of the SpiritRead the beginning of Acts 1:8 again: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you . . .” Note that we don’t have to rely on our own power, but on God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, as you read about in Part 2 of Look to Jesus. Jesus also taught this when he sent out the disciples, saying, “The Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say” (Luke 12:11-12) Help Others Look To JesusIn the power of the Holy Spirit, tell your story, tell God’s story |

God Hears Your PrayersLook to Jesus We learned earlier that God talks to us in the Bible. In prayer, you are talking with God. He knows you better and loves you more than any friend. He wants to spend time with you and hear from you. God is more than a friend. He is the Lord Almighty. He is able to do things for you and knows the right way to help. To know what God is like, just look to Jesus (John 1:18). When Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray, He gave a model prayer, often known as the “Our Father” or “The Lord’s Prayer” (Matthew 6:9-13). It is not a magic formula to be repeated over and over to gain His favor. Rather, it gives some keys for relating to Him. Let’s look at some of them: It starts with worshipOur Father in Heaven, holy is Your name. We should approach God with deep respect, knowing at the same time that He is our loving Father. We are called to love God with all that we are. We worship Him and declare that His name is holy. We pray that more and more |

We pray that more and more people would see this. We align ourselves with His willYour kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven God has a great plan for the world and for His people. We should find out how we fit into that plan. His plan for today includes something for us to do. And we ask Him to exercise His mighty power to make things right, here on earth. The more our prayers agree with His purpose, the more He delights in answering them. We ask for the things we needGive us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. After we worship and accept His plan, we talk about our own needs. “Daily bread” means the basics: Food, clothing, and shelter; and we are aware every day that He is the one who provides. When we say “Forgive us our debts,” we remember that He has graciously forgiven our sins -- a “debt” too large for us to ever pay back. Jesus lived a perfect life and shed His blood on the cross. He paid that debt forever. Because He lives in us now, we are able to forgive others. We |

can be set free from bitterness and broken relationships. We ask for protectionAnd lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Though we are God’s children, we still tend to sin. So we ask Him, through the Holy Spirit, to guide us away from tempting situations. Also, we have an enemy, Satan, whose goal is to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10). We ask for protection from God who can help us no matter what we are going through. Look to Jesus in PrayerThe more we spend time with God in prayer and in His word, the more we know Him and love Him. The more our hearts beat with His. The more like Jesus we become. Share the Lord's Prayer with your friends! |

The Church Is Your FamilyLook to Jesus When you became a follower of Jesus, you were “born again” (John 3:3). Can you imagine being a newborn baby just coming home, and your parents left you alone on the floor, giving you no food, milk, clean diapers, or love? That would be terrible! The Church -- Not a Building, But PeopleAs a physical family makes sure you get fed and loved, the church – your local group of believers – will encourage and guide you as you grow spiritually. One of the most important things your church does is remind you often of the main points of the gospel: Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for your sins and rose again to show His power over death,Everyone who has by faith received God’s free gift is forgiven of their sins and becomes God’s child,Jesus lives in each believer today through His Holy Spirit, giving them power to live a God-pleasing life.The Church is a TeamNot only do YOU need the church, but the church needs YOU! Imagine a soccer team where everyone wanted to be the goalkeeper. How ridiculous to have 11 goalies! God has designed the church with different roles -- meaning, the team is not complete without you, and you are lacking without the team. "But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body" (1 Corinthians 12:18-20). Don’t Let the Wolves Get YouWhen a pack of wolves goes hunting, they try to separate young or weak animals from the herd, where they are easily captured and eaten. Satan looks for people to devour, just like wolves do (1 Peter 5:. By spending time with other believers, you’ll grow strong in your faith. Then, you can resist the devil, and he’ll run away from you (James 4:7). Look to JesusDo you meet with other believers regularly? If not, ask God to help you find a group of strong believers to meet with. He knows how desperately you need to be connected to other followers of Jesus and have a spiritual family. And share |

Get Direction from the BibleLook to Jesus Have you ever tried to do something hard without having someone teach you? You probably needed a little help. Life can be hard sometimes. But God provided us with help to teach us. Our help is in the Bible. But it does so much more than that . . . A profile of the One Who loves youThe Bible is a love letter from our Creator. He loves you so much that He came to suffer and die so that you could live with Him forever. Although the Bible may seem complex, God promises that His Spirit will guide you into all truth. He will reveal to you the important facts about Him and what it means to follow Him. Don't think of the Bible as a book that only specially trained people can understand. The Bible is for everyone. It is full of God's thoughts about Himself, and about us: the people He has loved from before the creation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). What can you find in the Bible?You can find real help for your life today. Hope to keep you going. Truth that sets you free and gives your life meaning. Guidance for your relationships with people. Most of all, it tells you about Jesus, who said, "the volume of the book [Bible] is written about me" (Psalm 40:7). The Bible is God’s story. Jesus created and sustains everything by His powerful word (Hebrews 1:3). Yet He humbled Himself and took on a weak human body for us (Philippians 2:8-9). He faced every temptation we have, yet remained innocent and pure. He understands our sufferings because He suffered too. He allows us to be completely forgiven and made perfect because He died on the cross. Jesus showed His power over death when He rose from the dead. Jesus is the true author of the Bible, just as He is the author and perfecter of our eternal salvation. Look to Jesus in His WordReading the Bible is not just looking at stories about Jesus; it really is looking at Jesus. The word is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12). It’s alive because Jesus is the Word (John 1:1). Though He died for you, Jesus is alive today. |

HE knows your thoughts and plans. As you spend time
with Him through His Word, He gives you
sure and certain hope that becomes an
anchor for your soul (Hebrews 6:19). Share this with your friends! |
