You are not alone in this journey; you have the entire Church family to support you. It is important to remember that you are not alone, and that God is always with you.

The Holy Spirit is the guiding force, the “spirit” with power to change your life from what it was to what it now can be, and it now resides in you. Through the Holy Spirit, you are empowered to accomplish things you are not able to accomplish on your own.With the Holy Spirit’s help, you can live a life of faith and courage.

Prior to his ascension into heaven, Jesus reminded his disciples that there would be another advocate for them: “If you love me, keep my commands.” The Holy Spirit is our helper and comforter, and he will always be with us. He will help us to live a life of faith and courage, and he will guide and inspire us. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you” (John 14:15-17 NIV).

The Bible says, “The power of faith comes from hearing, and so we must also work on our minds to be tuned up with God’s word in order to spread it. We can then share this knowledge with others, allowing them to experience the power of faith and build their own relationship with God. This can help us to create a more just and equitable society. This can also help us to become more compassionate and understanding towards others, creating a more loving and harmonious environment. Additionally, it can inspire people to be kinder and more compassionate towards each other. “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” (Romans 10:17 NIV)
