God spoke to me this morning about you and the Holy Spirit and your relationship with Him. Specifically about your growth in the Faith, Christianity. John 14:16-18 s the text our Lord has given me for you. Before I begin I feel the need to ask your forgiveness. God called me to teach in the first two years of my salvation, I began with the Primaries and by five years I was teach your age. You are indwelt with the Holy Spirit or you would be a lot closer to what I was at twelve years of age.

I am about 60 years older than you right now, only because God saved me at 45 to be a witness to you, think about that, please. Sixty years ago God saw a little heathen born and His mind was on you. By the time I was twelve I was smoking cigars, drinking cheap whiskey and because my stepfather was a Master Sergeant in charge of the Flight Line Crews on Ellington AFB, I, at twelve hung out there, with the Mechanics and the pilots.

By this age you may have heard the expression, "He curse like a sailor." Well, truth be known, I believe sailors probably get their fowl mouths from the Airmen on the Flight Line have mouths that soap will never clean up and at twelve, so did I. I did not have the Holy Spirit in my life and I'm certain, looking back, that I left a long stream of Godly Women praying for my verbiage and drinking.

My mother did nothing to live for God and thus the only real influence was my white grandmother and she lived a hundred miles away, rendering her influence, minimumal, at best. I had no training and nobody in my immediate family tried to religiously influence me. I knew not and those three words say it all.

You, on the other hand have the Holy Spirit and He began, in you, at six, I believe I recall what He did in me at forty-five. But, I am sad to report, you are not perfect and in this world, will not be before you make the trip to Heaven to receive the Glorified Body. At the same instant I become perfect, you also, will be perfected!

Until that time, the day of the rapture, both of us struggle and though we might be a great distance apart, we both have the same Helper, the one sent by the Father and the Son, the one that is part of them, making the Whole of God.

Your primary task is the same as mine. There is nothing that can remove your Salvation but Satan will push you as hard as he is permitted to harden your heart, causing you not to live for the Witness God has called you to be. The long and short of it all is, excuse my country mouth, Buck Up Partner, you have the Holy Spirit of God with you everywhere you go ad He is polishing the rough edges off.

Remember, always, Polishing requires abrasives and abrasion can hurt people from time to time. May God bless you as He has this ornery old fossil.
