Chris.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. Truth always brings freedom; this is what Jesus taught us. We need to live in the Truth and tell the Truth. We must face the Truth sometimes and allow God to work in our lives. If we make a habit of trying to cover over the truth that we cannot face, because of fear and shame, then we can never be free in Jesus. King David asked God to search his heart; he wanted the Truth because He desired to live to please God. Let us hate lies and live in and tell the Truth.

Assurance and confidence are not things that true believers have to pray for, rather they are what comes as our life is in right condition with God.

Chris.

God is King of the Nations. We have the account in the Scriptures of the time that in their sin, pride and jealousy the Children of Israel made their own angry demonstration against God, demanding a human king. This demonstration, like all demonstrations, grieved the Heart of God, yet He gave them their desire, but along with the desire their was leanness to their souls. As True Believers there are two lessons for us. Firstly, avoid demonstrations and secondly, own and confess God as our King.
