------------------------------------------

Chris.

There is a deep moving in the heart of many True Believers in these days to come back to God. People are forsaking their wrong relationships, whether they are: Immoral, Political in Church, Gossip-based, Dependency, or Rebellious. People are coming to God and hungering and thirsting for God. The two major thrusts of this deep moving in the heart are for pure worship and simple prayer.

'The Ministry of the Spirit of Truth.'

'The Ministry of the Spirit of Truth.'

John 16:13.

a) He is the Holy Spirit that comes. (It is quite permitted to sing or pray: "Holy Spirit, come")

b) He Will Guide us into ALL the Truth. (The Holy Spirit never deceives people or leads them into deception. If people go wrong, it is either because of their selfish pride, or they are being influenced by a wrong spirit)

c) He will not speak on His Own Initiative. (The Holy Spirit is never proud or selfish)

d) He will only speak what He hears from Heaven. (This is a great lesson for preachers, if the Holy Spirit Himself only speaks what He Hears, how much more should fallible we follow the same example. We can do it if we are filled with the Holy Spirit)

e) He Will Disclose to us what is to come. (Here is the Personal Ministry of the Spirit of Truth - it is very lovely)

i) 1 John 3:14. Is evidenced by True Believers' Love for each other. This is so clear to me.... If there is no love for each other in a Christian family or in a Christian church, then there is no Spiritual Life in that family or church.

j) Ephesians 2:5. Is Given by Grace.

(Through this Meditation, I want to continually experience Spiritual Life)

-----------------------------------------

Chris.

The Spirit of God is a very lovely Spirit. He gives us so many Blessings. Peace, joy, happiness, sanctification, inner strength, spiritual gifts and much, much more. We should never take His Presence for granted. We need to welcome the Holy Spirit in our personal lives as well as in our churches. Things like long worship services and speaking in tongues do not necessarily mean that the Holy Spirit is with us or in us. How can we test if the Holy Spirit is with us Biblically? i) Are we positive? ii) Are we thankful and grateful? iii) Are we able to listen to other people? iv) Do we really love each other? These are the evidence of a Holy Spirit-filled life. If we do not find these things in our lives or families, then we need to come to God and ask Him to fill us with the Holy Spirit. If we do not find these things in our churches, then our churches need the Mercy of God. REMEMBER - Christ does not love THE church, in our terminology - He loves HIS Church. We need to make sure that our church is His Church. The Spirit of God is a very lovely Spirit; let us yield to Him.
