The work of the Holy Spirit
John 16:7-13
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
Even though Jesus said He did not come to judge the world, the Holy Spirit does. It is important to read the Word of God in its fullness to understand the truth of God's Word. In this part of the scripture is clearly states that the Holy Spirit leads us into ALL TRUTH!
Often, I hear scripture taken out of context and it makes me cringe. We are so eager to bend the truth, fitting it into our little plans.
This has been a vital part in my life, to overcome. Since childhood, I had to listen to so many lies about myself and life. It seemed almost impossible to see the truth in it. Overcoming lies, is what Paul said to be important: Be transformed in your mind and be NOT transformed to this world.
Our mind will always play tricks on us if we let it. Infused by demonic lies and deceit.
John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Problem and answer in one sentence! Jesus IS the answer to all problems!
My prayer today: Father, reveal to us the lies we believe, especially about ourselves. Forgive our ignorance, Holy Spirit: thank you for leading us into all truth.
Until next time, be well and prosperous.
