The Advocate










Who is your favorite courtroom lawyer? I can think of several television lawyers. My favorite is Perry Mason. I own the Perry Mason collection written by Stanley Early Gardener. I love unsolved law cases and how the murderer is revealed in an unorthodox way during the courtroom rumble.  Mason would use his courtroom wit to point out  criminal evidence . It’s never the person everyone thought did the crime.  Perry Mason was an awesome factious lawyer.

 It got me thinking about our spiritual lawyer.  The Greek writer used the term Paraklētos in the Gospel of John to refer to the Holy Spirit as our advocate or lawyer. He's not talked about much like God the Father and the Son. Yet, He has an important role in our lives.  He pleads your case before God, He guides you through this life with hints on how to maneuver around the evil one and He present truth in your situation (John 14:16–17; 14:26; 15:26). He knows you.  You don’t want to stand before God without good representation. In the courtroom of Heaven, Satan will try to condemn you to hell with his lies. However, the Holy Spirit knows the truth and presents the truth in a logical manner.   He objects to every statement Satan makes about you to God and removes negative light shredded on your life in the court of law.  The Holy Spirit knows how to fight. He also knows how to help you put on the right garment to fight Satan (Ephesians 6.10).  See, nothing to worry about. Your lawyer is defending you right now.   Best part of this is there’s no legal fees to pay or for you to worry about losing the case. The Holy Spirit wins every case.  Aren't you glad He's on your side?  What a lawyer!

I Got You!

Do you remember going to the arcades? You and your friends’ old rendezvous spot, battling for the top spot in one of the popular games. While you guys horsed around, a group of troublemakers bullied their way onto the machines? Your posy band together vowing to have each other’s back.  Now days, every man for himself. Someone will call 911 for you, any more than that would be heroic (Romans 5:7).  No one takes on any man’s cause anymore. The back-in-the-day phrase was "I got your back."

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

I Didn't See That Coming

Arriving at work, I put my lunch bag in the refrigerator, fired up the computer and  entered my logged on.  The phone rang.  "This is Ms. Swanson," I told the caller.  "Yes, right away."  I hung up the phone, reached for my keys and raced downstairs asking God to provide what I need from the spiritual realm. I wasn’t sure what I would run up against. A policeman was at my car writing a ticket. One of the sergeants’ saw my handicap placard on the seat and called me to come down quickly. While racing to the car, I noticed my IPhone watch on my arm. I wasn't allowed to wear it at work, especially with security violation written all over the action. I forgot to take it off! Supposed someone saw it, I could lose my job. Right at that moment I remembered to get my retainer from my purse when I put it in the truck. It could melt in the heat, costing a replacement cost of $300. All I can say is, "I didn't see that...
