While the Spirit is the ultimate teacher, I hope to remind you of things you already know and provide some helpful thoughts.

In addition to this comfort, God delights in giving us specific guidance.

Would you like to consistently receive answers to your prayers? I hope the following remarks will strengthen your ability to perceive the whisperings of the Spirit to discern the presence of the Holy Ghost as your constant companion and to commune with God the Eternal Father and with His Son, even the Holy One of Israel.
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer-Isaiah 58:9a
