THE PURPOSE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU Part 4
This is the concluding part of this series I believe this has been a blessing
let's see John 16:7-16
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you. A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.
Jesus said when the Holy spirit is come, he will convict the world, not the believer of sin, why because they believe not on christ, it means that the Holy spirit wants to tell unbelievers through you that they are still sinners because they refuse to believe Christ... And that if they shall believe, they shall be made righteous, for with the heart, men believe unto righteousness romans 10:9
He said of Righteousness, Because you see me no more in the flesh, because I go to the father, it is here that Jesus can become our Righteousness, it is here that the way to be Righteous would be to believe all that Christ did through the rigours of the cross(his death and resurrection)
He also wants to convict the world of Judgement through the spirit filled Believer that satan is Judged, not will be judged, but is Judged, and disarmed colosians 2:15, and that the world now belongs to you, that what you permit in it is what holds...
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak...
The holy spirit doesn't have his own words, he doesn't have his own wisdom, everything he has to say is the word of God to you, Jesus said he shall guide you into all truth, I want you to remember that there is NO truth outside Christ, Christ is truth John 14:6 so the Holy spirit wants to guide you into Christ, he wants to explain Christ to you, he wants to tell you what Christ has Being able to achieve for you because you believe
and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.
He shall make Jesus plain to you, he will make you see Jesus and nothing else, he will make you see yourself in Christ... col 3:3 not your complexion, your dress or your gender, but that you are in Christ and that you are a NEW CREATION as a result 2cor.5:16-17
The Holy Spirit is the person that helps us to understand the scriptures, the bible says the letter kills, but it is the spirit that gives life, so the major works of the spirit is to help you see the logos of God beyond what is penned, He will make it come loud and Alive to you, he will make it real in your life, that's the work of the Holy Spirit... He will Glorify Christ, not your works, but Christ, not the law, but Christ, not moses but christ, not a gift or talent that you have, but Christ, not your church, but christ... That's the Holy Spirit's work in a Believer... He works in you as Christ's wisdom, stirring up ideas in your spirit that would help you express the victory of Christ in your day to day life, things that are beyond human reasoning 1cor 2:9, he functions in you as the mind of Christ 1cor 2:16, he makes EVERYTHING that is of God PLAIN to you, that is his work... Not gosipping, backbiting, guesses or assumptions, or telling you what sin is or what sin is not, it is law that tells you all of that 1cor 15:56 the Holy Spirit doesn't assume, neither does he tell people what action is sin or not, he is HOLY and He is the ONLY thing that is real in this life, he is REALITY... He is the Spirit of Grace...
So the way to hear the Holy spirit is to meditate on the word of God consistently and pray in the spirit untiringly, ceaselessly and uncompromisingly...
No wonder paul admonishes the colosians to make sure that the word of Christ dwell richly in them in all wisdom colosians.3:16
It is very important, because the word of God is strictly the stuffs with which the Holy Spirit can work in you and through you... There is no other way...
And according to 1cor 14:14 which says when I pray in UNKNOWN tongues, my Spirit Prays, and my canal mind is rendered useless, you therefore as a believer ought to engage this praying in the Holy Ghost (jude 1:21) which is to pray in unknown tongues alongside studying the word of God and meditating on it continually to be able to actively and deliberately turn-on the functioning of the Holy Spirit in you on consistent basis... It is your duty, and my duty to engage the Holy Spirit in our everyday life, because that is what it means to live in victory always 2cor 2:14
I pray S you walk with the spirit your life will continue to shine
