“IF WE MAKE ROOM FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO WORK IN OUR
LIVES…”
“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has
come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His
own authority, but
whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will
glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” (John 16:13-14 NKJV)
We are at the
era of the third Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit isn’t just being poured out
amazingly, but is also manifesting a mighty power in and through the lives of
believers. The two verses above give us a conviction that the Holy Spirit in
our lives (1 Cor 3:16; 6:19) has tremendous roles for us. If we make room for
the Holy Spirit to work in our lives…
1.
The Holy Spirit will Guide Us into All Truth
The word “guide” in its original language also means to show the way, teach, and lead. It is so
amazing how the Holy Spirit doesn’t just guide us to some, but all truth. The
word all encompasses everything that is connected with worship and service, nature,
as well as doctrine and the Bible. We will not understand, comprehend, and
believe the Bible if we do not have the Holy Spirit. If a person who does not
have the Holy Spirit reads the Bible, he will surely have a different
understanding from the believers who have the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy
Spirit removes any hindrances, opens up our understanding, and makes everything
clear so that believers can walk according to the Word of God without going to
the right or to the left.
2.
The Holy Spirit will Tell Us Things to Come
Every person will certainly have a curiosity about the future;
concerning the things that will happen in his life, business, family, and so
on. Curiosity of the things to come is the trigger that causes many people who
lose their ways (going astray) to ask the paranormal, shaman or fortune-teller.
This is forbidden by the Scriptures.
It is fitting for us to be grateful because the Holy Spirit who
lives in us will tell us the things to come if we make room for Him to work in
us, in accordance to what is written in the Bible. Example: Why can we believe
that Jesus will come again for the second time? Because the Holy Spirit is in
us and He is the one who tells us that thing in accordance to what is written
in the Scriptures. Approximately 28% of the Bible speaks of prophecy (things
that will happen in the future). What the Holy Spirit says to us does not come
from Himself, but from the Lord Jesus. Therefore, it is
very necessary for us to make room for the Holy Spirit. Amen.
