John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
I HAVE FELT IN THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT I HAVE NEEDED TO BRING ATTENTION AND INSTRUCTION TO HAVING OUR LIVES DIRECTED THROUGH THE UNCTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
LAST WEEK I BEGAN SHARING WITH YOU HOW THAT THERE ARE MULTIUTUDES OF GOD’S PEOPLE WHO ARE OPERATING IN THEIR OWN POWER
PEOPLE WHO ARE OPERATING IN THEIR OWN POWER NOT BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PEOPLE WHO ARE OPERATING IN THEIR OWN POWER BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND WHAT I WANT TO BRING FORTH IN THESE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS IS HOW TO HEAR THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, HOW TO BE LED AND HOW TO OPERATE IN THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
HOW TO BEGIN HAVING YOUR LIFE DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
TURN TO
1 Peter 1:8
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
THE SCRIPTURES SPEAK ABOUT REJOICING WITH JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY AND YET MANY OF GODS CHILDREN ARE SURROUNDED BY DEPRESSION, DISCOURAGEMENT, SADNESS AND DISPAIR
HOW DO WE WALK IN THIS JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY
LAST WEEK I TOLD YOU THAT CHRISTIANITY MAKES TWO DEMANDS
#1 YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
#2 YOU MUST BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES
WHEN THESE TWO THINGS HAVE TAKEN PLACE THEN COMES THE INSTRUCTION TO WALK AND TO BE LED BY WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH
I KNOW MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY ARE NOT WALKING IN THE BENEFIT OF ALL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO THEM
AND SOME ONE IS GOING TO SAY YES BUT THEY SPEAK IN TONGUES AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT TONGUES CAN BE SPOKEN IN THE FLESH
AS DIFFICULT AS THAT IS TO BELIEVE IT IS TRUE
IN FACT TONGUES CAN BE SPOKEN WITHOUT LOVE AND THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS
1 Cor 13:1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
LAST WEEK I SHOWED YOU WHAT SPEAKING IN TONGUES IN THE SPIRIT DOES FOR YOU
LISTEN TO ISAIAH
Isa 28:11
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING IN TONGUES REFRESHES YOU AND CAUSES THE WEARY TO HAVE REST
THE SECOND THING THAT IT DOES IS THAT IT EDIFIES YOU
1 Cor 14:4
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;
THE THIRD THING THAT IT DOES IS THAT IT BUILDS UP YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH
Jude 20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith , praying in the Holy Ghost,
SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF FAITH THAT YOU CAN WALK IN
VERSE 21
Jude 21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
SPEAKING IN TONGUES KEEPS YOU IN THE LOVE OF GOD
IT KEEPS YOU LOOKING FOR THE MERCY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE
PRAYING IN TONGUES REFRESHES YOU
IT CAUSES WEARINESS TO LEAVE
IT EDIFIES YOU
IT PROMOTES SPIRITUAL GROWTH
IT BUILDS YOU UP
IT TAKES YOU TO YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH
IT KEEPS YOU IN THE LOVE OF GOD
WHY IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN
LOOK AT OUR OPENING SCRIPTURE
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO GUIDE YOU IN ALL TRUTH
NOTICE WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
TO GUIDE YOU IN ALL TRUTH AND THEN IT SAYS IN I CORINTHIANS THAT HE COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TRIBULATIONS
2 Cor 1:4
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
SO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH AND TO COMFORT YOU IN ALL TRIBULATIONS
NOTICE THE WORDS——ALL OF OUR TRIBULATION
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS
THERE ARE NO HIDDEN DEALS
HE IS HERE TO LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH AND HE IS HERE TO COMFORT YOU IN ALL OF YOUR TRIBULATIONS
NOW IF THE DEVIL CAN CONVINCE YOU THAT YOUR SITUATION IS DIFFERENT
THAT YOUR SITUATION IS UNIQUE
THAT YOUR DEAL IS DIFFERENT THAN EVERY ONE ELSE
THEN YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIND TRUTH AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO COMFORTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO COMFORT ANY ONE ELSE
Isa 28:11 TELLS US THAT THIS IS THE REST AND THE REFRESHING THAT GOD WANTS TO GIVE TO US
TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THEY NEED TO GET FILLED AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FILLED THEY NEED TO STIR UP THE GIFT THAT IS INSIDE OF THEM
2 Tim 1:6
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY ARE DISCOURAGED
THEY ARE DEPRESSED
THEY WALK AROUND UNHAPPY DESDONDANT
THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN SENT TO GIVE YOU ALL TRUTH
TO COMFORT YOU IN ALL TROUBLES
HE IS SENT TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO BUILD YOU UP
AND THEN THE WORD OF GOD TELLS YOU THAT THE REST AND THE REFRESHING THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
THESE SCRIPTURES REVEAL TO YOU THE TREMENDOUS POWER AND COMFORT THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU
THESE SCRIPTURES REVEAL TO YOU THE BENEFITS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD THAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE HE LIVES ON THE INSIDE OF YOU
AND WHEN WE HAVE THIS AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE HAVE IT IS LIKE HAVING IT ALL AND THEN USING NOTHING
SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS A LARGE PART OF MY LIFE
SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS THE REST AND REFRESHING THAT GOD GIVES TO GIVE THAT JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY
WHAT EVER YOUR PROBLEM IS
IF YOU ARE REALLY WANTING TO HEAR FROM GOD ONE WORD FROM GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM
LET ME USE FIANCES AND I USE FINANCES BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WHO DO HAVE UNDERSTANDING CAN RELATE TO FINANCES
IF YOU HAVE A FINANCIAL PROBLEM
ONE WORD FROM GOD
I MEAN ONE WORD FROM GOD AND THAT ONE WORD BRINGS REVELATION
THE REVELATION OF WHO YOU NEED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH
THE REVELATION OF SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW
THE REVELATION OF AN IDEA
THE REVELATION OF HIS WORD CONCERNING FINANCES AND THE APPLICATION OF THAT REVELATION
LET ME BRING TO YOU REVELATION
Matt 17:25
He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT GOD KNOWS WHICH FISH HAS MONEY IN ITS MOUTH
NOT EVERY FISH HAS MONEY IN ITS MOUTH BUT GOD KNOWS WHICH ONE’S DO
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF MONEY REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HEAR ON NBC OR ABC
THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF MONEY AND THAT FACT IS REALITY ACCORDING TO THE MONEY THAT THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO GO IN DEBT
PEOPLE ARE BOUND BY WHAT THEY HEAR ABOUT HOW MUCH GAS IS
ABOUT THE RECESSION THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN
BUT HERE IS REALITY
NOT EVERY ONE IS GOING THROUGH A RECESSION
NOT EVERY ONE IS AFFECTED BY THE PRICE OF GAS
NOT EVERY ONE IS EFFECTED BY THE LOSS OF JOBS
THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF MONEY AND THERE ARE ALSO A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT GOD SUPPLIES ALL THEIR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY
Phil 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
SO HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN
THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
ACCORDING AS HIS DIVINE POWER BAS GIVEN TO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT HAS CALLED US TO WHAT
GLORY
AGAIN
Phil 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I HAVE ONLY TAKEN ONE ASPECT OF SALVATION WHICH IS PROSPERITY AND I AM SHOWING YOU SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE IF YOU HAVE A HEART TO BELIEVE
IS IT TRUE OR NOT TRUE
MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL MY NEED
THAT WORD NEED IN THE GREEK IS CHREIA AND IT MEANS ALL OF YOUR BUSINESS
ALL OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT
ALL OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS
ALL OF YOUR AFFAIRS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS
IS IT TRUE OR NOT
IT IS TRUE ACCORDING TO WHAT
TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM THAT HE HAS CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE
LET ME BRING SOMETHING TO YOU
WE TALK ABOUT THE PRICE OF GAS BEING 2.50
3.00 AND EVEN 3.50 LETS GO TO 4.00 AND WE ARE TREMENDOUSLY UPSET BY THAT PRICE
AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN GREAT BRITIAN WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO PAY 4.00 FOR GAS
WHY BECAUSE THEY PAY $12.00 A GALLON
HERE IS MY POINT
IF GOD IS GOING TO SUPPLY ALL OF MY NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY THEN MY PRIORITY SHOULD BE ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM
WHY
BECAUSE IT INVOLVES ALL OF MY EMPLOYMENT
AND SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CASH IN MY CLUNKER FOR THE GOVERNMENTS 4500.00 REBATE SO I CAN RECEIVE 30 MILES PER GALLON
I DO NOT HAVE TO TRADE IN MY TRUCK FOR A MOTORCYCLE TO SATISFY SOME ONE ELSE’S FEAR
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF GAS ABOUT
FEAR
WHAT IS THE RECESSION ABOUT
FEAR
WHAT IS THE HOUSING MARKET ABOUT
FEAR
2 Tim 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear ; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
HE HAS NOT GIVEN TO US FEAR
BUT IT IS FEAR THAT WE HAVE WHEN WE BEGIN RELATING TO THE THINGS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THIS WORLD.
TURN TO
John 16:7
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 depart, I will send him unto you.
THIS IS JESUS SPEAKING ABOUT SENDING THE HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS IS SAYING THAT IT IS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
THAT IT IS BETTER FOR YOU TO HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR YOU THAT I GO AWAY SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN COME
I WILL TELL YOU THAT TO MANY IF THEY WERE GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
IF THEY COULD CHOOSE BETWEEN JESUS SPEAKING TO THEM
MINISTERING TO THEM
IF THEY COULD SIT AT HIS FEET
MANY WOULD CHOOSE JESUS OVER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YET JESUS HIMSELF TELLS US THAT IT IS BETTER IF HE GOES SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN COME
WHY
NOW TURN TO
John 14:26
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.
HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS
HE WILL BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE
ALL THINGS
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GRASP THIS BUT HE IS THE TEACHER OF ALL THINGS PERTAINGING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS
NOW WHY WOULD MOST PEOPLE TAKE JESUS OVER THE HOLY SPIRIT EVEN THOUGH JESUS TELLS US THAT IT IS BETTER FOR US IF HE GOES
WRONG TEACHING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
HOW MANY TESTAMONIES HAVE WE HEARD ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKING SOME ONE MISERABLE
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTING US OF OUR SINS
ABOUT HIM MAKING US FEEL UNWORTHY AND CONDEMNED
HIS NAME IS THE COMFORTER AND SOME HOW WE BELIEVER THAT HE IS THE CONDEMNER
THE ACCUSER
THE ONE WHO MAKES US MISERABLE BECAUSE OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE
HEAR ME
THE COMFORTER CONVICTS US ONE SIN AND ONE SIN ONLY
John 16:7-11
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 depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
HERE IS THE SIN THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT REPROVES THE WORLD
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ON HIM
IT IS AMAZING TO ME THE AMOUNT OF GODS PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT THROUGH THEIR OWN INTELLUCT AND THEY NEVER COME INTO THE REVEALTION OF TRUTH THAT MAKES THEM FREE
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT BRINGS THESE REVLATIONS THAT MAKE US FREE
FROM CONDEMNATION
FROM BONDAGE
FROM SICKNESS
FROM POVERTY
ONE WORD FORM THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL TOTALLY RE-ADJUST YOUR LIFE
YOUR LIFE DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
