THE HOLY SPIRIT - OUR GUIDE AND HELPER...
John 16:12-15
As
children of the living God, we are all on a journey.
On our
journey towards heaven, there are many choices we have to make along
the way and crossroads where we have to choose the right one. Many
things in the course of life can bring frustration and confusion upon
us, and how can we know which path to choose?
Jesus is
always the Son of the living God, the son says. You must walk this
way to avoid accidents that will come on the other guide. He is the
chief shepherd who has his shepherd's staff in his hand, he takes you
like a sheep and each of you to himself in the Spirit of his
security.
Jesus promised to give us an ever-present
Helper, the Holy Spirit. A gift that is for every believer. The task
of the Holy Spirit is, among other things, to lead us into the whole
truth. He will lead us on the right path, like a compass pointing out
the direction. He makes no mistakes.
The Holy Spirit is
the same Spirit that is in the person of God the Father, and in the
Son Jesus. There are many copy spirits around in people who may look
a bit like the true Spirit but who are not, we feel that in our
spirits when we meet someone who says they are Christians but in
reality are copy spirits who want to copy God's kingdom in us without
them God owns his own Spirit in him.
But for us it is
different.
We have received the very same Spirit, the Holy
Spirit our comforter, admonisher, guide, the Holy Spirit into us is
the life of God within us which shines out of us in our lives. The
Holy Spirit guides us in and to the whole truth, also everything that
is not in the Bible He explains/interprets for each and every one of
us. Here it is not about the different gifts of the spirit that not
all Christians have received, but whether we all really have the
Spirit of truth, the same Spirit in us, the Holy Spirit.
Now
you may think that if the Holy Spirit is in me, and never makes
mistakes, why is there a mess in my life and my choices?
The
leading of the Holy Spirit is ALWAYS right, but our response may not
always be right.
We forget to listen to God and Jesus
inside us. Often God quietly shares the thoughts of his heart like
our thoughts that suddenly appear in our thoughts. He also speaks out
loud with words or repeats things we see and hear, he speaks and
works through, but we don't always hear it, we don't always see it
because our thoughts are sometimes filled with everything else,
everything we see on TV, on the Internet and elsewhere. enters the
life of our thoughts and influences us so that we think and live what
we see and hear.
As a rule, it is the first thought we get
or input, it is God's answer and speech to us, but often quite
quickly a lot of other thoughts pop up and contradict the first
thought or input so we overhear the voice of the Holy Spirit. Then we
have chaos in our minds and can't figure out what God was actually
telling us.
SURRENDERING YOURSELF AND YOUR WILL TO GOD IS
AN IMPORTANT PREREQUISITE TO EXPERIENCE GOD'S CLEAR LEADERSHIP!
We
cannot deal with sin and act arbitrarily in situations, and then at
the same time expect the Holy
