God’s truth is our shield and armour in the battle (Psalm 91:4). If we take our focus off the truth of God’s Word, we end up believing lies. We can always trust God’s promises in every situation of life. When we feel discouraged and feel like giving up, think about Jesus and all that He went through for us ‒ all that we have because He didn’t give up. Then we won’t become weary and faint hearted. We need to keep focused!

Sixty-three stand-alone short chapters of help in living the Christian life. There are chapters here for everyone – people who are walking towards God, people walking with God, and those walking on with God. The short chapters are arranged approximately in this order, but there is much value in the early chapters for those looking for a deeper faith. This is not a book where you have to start at Chapter 1 and work your way through to the end. The Contents page lists the title of every chapter, so just dive in and read one that inter-ests you. Of course, you can start at Chapter 1 and read the whole book if you prefer, and our prayer is that every reader will be greatly blessed by what they read. The majority of these sixty-three chapters have been released individually as booklets, and every chapter as individual eBooks that are available in all formats from major eBook distributors. The eBook editions are free from most distributors. This whole volume is also available as a paperback from major book distributors.

If we have asked Jesus into our hearts, and said sorry for our sin, then we have Eternal Life! We know we will go to Heaven when we leave this earth. We know we are Born Again. In John’s Gospel chapter 3 we read how Nicodemus came to see Jesus at night. He was a Jewish religious leader who didn’t want anyone to see him. Jesus tells him that unless he is born of the Spirit of God he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. He explains to Nicodemus that we are born naturally of water from our mother’s womb, but we must be born again by God’s Spirit to enter into newness of life.

We need to allow the Holy Spirit to have free reign in our lives. We receive freedom as we submit to God. Concentrating on our problems, trying to overcome them in our own strength, never works. If we surrender our will to God, then deliverance can come. It’s not weak to surrender to God, it’s wise. If we are surrendered we will obey God ‒ even if it doesn’t make sense! Surrender brings victory! As we let go of our lives, and allow God to take the central place, and yield to Him, as we obey Him and do what He says, we shall be overcomers.

John baptised crowds of people in water, but he let the people know that Jesus who was coming after him was the One who would baptise in the Holy Spirit and with fire. They were expecting the Messiah to come soon, and thought that John might be the one. But when they asked him this question, he answered very clearly – he was preparing the way for Jesus. Jesus is the One who baptises in the Holy Spirit. God is pouring out His Spirit today, and we are told in the Word of God to be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).

God is always wanting to fill us and overflow us more and more with His Holy Spirit. We need to be hungry for more. God longs to feed our hunger. God always wants to give us more. He is not a stingy God, He is a God of plenty and more than enough. He wants us to be full and overflowing with His Living Water. The more we receive, the more we have to give. As we receive more of this Living Water, more of His Holy Spirit, we are refreshed, blessed, encouraged, and built up ‒ and the more we can minister and bless others out of the overflow in us.

God promises us that He will instruct us, guide us and teach us. He will show us His pathway for our lives. John 16:13: When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own but will tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future. We need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading, and be ready to be obedient to Him. Nothing the Holy Spirit leads us to do is ever contrary to the Word of God.
