Why am I so apathetic about people's suffering, I often wonder? I think it goes back to this: I feel as if I can't make a dent, so why try? There are so many needs, I am only one person. I'm not going to make a difference so what's the use? After going to Haiti, I see just a tiny glimpse of how the world is hungry and dying-they have so many needs. My neighbors are elderly and sick-they have needs. My church friends have lost jobs or are going through emotional strife-they have needs. My own family is struggling to deal with so many things. Everybody NEEDS something but I hardly have enough energy or time to live my own life. I feel like turning a blind eye and a deaf ear when I hear about one more need.

Then my friend Sue inadvertently told me a story last week that has changed me. She wasn't even sharing it in relation to any of this. She just told the dang story and God was behind it for sure. Funny how He does that. You're going along, minding your own business, when WHAMMO! God speaks in a way that penetrates into the deepest part of your heart.

a4_99999920 You may try to tell someone about the Lord again and again. Then one day they exclaim, "Oh, I finally see what you've been saying!" That realization is the work of the Holy Spirit.

Just before Christ went to the cross, He told His disciples that "When the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me" (John 15:26).

Paul told the Corinthians that "no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:3).

Life with Victory

By Benny Hinn

Living a life without sin seems so attractive - and so unattainable. Is it really possible to live a life without sin? The Lord Jesus did, but we cannot, for our bodies of "weakness" have yet to be raised in "power" (1 Cor. 15:43). But the promise is that one day our corruption will put on incorruption, and sin will be finally and fully defeated in our lives. In the meantime, as John says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [But] If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1: 8, 9). But I must say that the power to live victoriously is available to us moment by moment because of what the Lord Jesus did on Calvary's cross for you and me.

The writer of Hebrews says that "We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15). This is the reason why you and I must go to Him continually in our moments of weakness. We will find Him always able to deliver form the "guttermost" to the uttermost. As Hebrews also declares, "He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Heb. 7:25).
