(DAY 05)
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Well.
On Saturday we talked about the level at which deception is placed and the importance of the gift of discernment
And I said that discernment advances itself in standards and levels
And I said that, what the devil is doing is to place a lie between two truths so it becomes difficult for you to pick up the lie out of the two truths, and most of us end up eating the whole thing, only coming to discover later that we have consumed poisons
And these levels depends on your growth, your marturity.
And your marturity level is determined by what you know so far ( your knowledge)
Your knowledge is built not only on what you have seen or read, but on what you have learned
And I continued saying that it is very important as a child of God to understand the advantage that we have in Christ Jesus. To an extent that our knowledge is empowered by God Himself ( The Holy Spirit)
Which becomes to us a Spirit of knowledge, so it’s no longer what we have learned from school, but the Spirit working within us
HOLY SPIRIT ππ» THE SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE
Whom Jesus describes saying “when He, the Holy Spirit comes (The Spirit of Truth), He will guide you into all thingsβ¦.”
And I said that what is destroying us not even deception, but lack of knowledge, because the spirit of deception feeds on your ignorance.
As much as you are ignorant then you have opened a door for the spirit of deception to come in.
As much as the devil is here on Earth, he will continue doing because he first deceived himself. If the devil was not ashamed of himself when he deceived himself to be like like God, what makes you think that he will spare you? π€¨π€¨
As the Bible says “My people perish for lack of knowledge”. Not because they are being received, but because they lack knowledge.
And as much as we still have intellectuals on the higher positions in the government, ignoring the wise, the devil will still use them. Since the systems of this world have been trained to deny the wise and promote intellectuals.
Don’t wonder if you see them making reckless decisions up there, they are intellectuals they don’t know the way of wisdom.
Let’s get into itππ»ππ»
John 16:13
[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 Bible says
When “HE”, ( Mark it He)
Meaning that the Holy Spirit has a personality, ππ»ππ»ππ»
( The Holy Spirit is a person)
And Him being a person, or having a personality means that He can feel, He understands
This is the reason the Bible says do not grieve the Spirit of God
ππ»ππ»ππ»
Ephesians 4:30
[30]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Wala msimhuzunishe yule Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu; ambaye kwa yeye mlitiwa muhuri hata siku ya ukombozi.
So The Holy Spirit can be grieved (kumbe anaweza kuwa na huzuni)
This Spirit knows more about you than you think.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit was there during the Old testament, but was not officially effective as He is now, He was not fully given to us as of today.
It is something so amazing to understand, how God who knows everything could come down to see the tower of Babel, God who knows everything to come down to confirm whether the cries of the land of Sodom and Gomorrah were as serious as He heard them or not.
The Holy Spirit is
1: One in God’s Trinity
2: The hand of God
3: The power of God
4: The Holy Spirit is “JESUS MAGNIFIED”
Now let’s get into the fourth number. And check from the scriptureππ»ππ»
From the scripture that we have just read. (John 16:13).
Jesus is saying.
.. when he, “the Spirit of Truth”β¦.
Mark this.
So we have
THE HOLY SPIRITππ» SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGEππ» SPIRIT OF TRUTH
“TRUTH” ( What is TRUTH?)
We shall carry on from here tomorrow.
Shalomππ
