"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:26-27
These are really cool verses, and these are things I think we all can have, if we work at it. The challenge is cutting through the normal distractions of life and focusing on the Spirit. The more we do that, the more we will learn how to conect with and live by the spirit.
The Comforter here is the gift that God gives all of us to help us learn and also the means to have peace in our lives. Today, let's jump in and work on learning the spiritual sensitivity that we need to access these amazing promises. Some ideas... maybe listening to the scriptures in the background while we do other things, or listening to a conference talk. Setting aside specific time to pray intently when we won't be interrupted by other things. Reading the scriptures regularly, making it a habit. Trying to act on every good impulse, so that we're actively working to do as the spirit asks. There are probably many others, but basically anything we can do to pull the spirit in with us (or not to drive it away) will help us move towards the promises in these verses.
