TEXT: John 14:22-31

22. Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23. Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

24. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.”

25. “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.

26. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

27. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I’m going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I’m going to the Father’, for My Father is greater than I.

29. “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.

30. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

31. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment; so I do. Arise, let us go from here.”

(New King James Version Holy Bible)

TOPIC: THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Christians need to live in constant obedience to the Lord because He has the best plans for them. Because the word of God is the mind of God revealed, He expects us to do the things written in it so that we can accomplish His purposes on earth.

The Holy Spirit is always present to reveal the things that we do not understand because He is our teacher, guide and counselor. Obeying Him will also give us the needed peace which is entirely different from the peace of the world.

We must therefore depend on His Spirit as we live in this world that is controlled by the forces of darkness.

QUESTION: Do you depend on the Holy Spirit for the understanding of the word of God?

PRAYER: Help me, Father, to understand that my intellect will not profit from You if I do not key into the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
