Spirit

Joh 16:13 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. 
Joh 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 
Joh 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

The Spirit of truth.
A guiding Spirit.
A speaking Spirit.
A hearing Spirit.
A teaching Spirit.
A glorifying Spirit.
A receiving Spirit.

Jesus wants us to receive the Spirit of truth. Jesus wants us to be guided by the Spirit of truth. The Spirit of truth is REAL.

Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 
Joh 3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 
Joh 3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 
Joh 3:8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 
Joh 3:9  Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 
Joh 3:10  Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 
Joh 3:11  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 
Joh 3:12  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 
Joh 3:13  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 
Joh 3:14  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 
Joh 3:15  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 

We must be born of the Spirit.

The Spirit is so incredibly real! We need to be taught of the Spirit and we WILL be taught of the Spirit as we surrender ourselves wholly to God allowing Him to live in us, to work in us.

Act 8:29  Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 

Truly the Spirit speaks to us!

Act 10:19  While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 

Act 11:12  And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house

Act 13:2  As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 
Act 13:3  And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 
Act 13:4  So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 

Act 16:6  Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 
Act 16:7  After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 

Act 20:22  And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 
Act 20:23  Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 

1Co 12:11  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will

1Ti 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils

The Spirit!

The Holy Spirit will guide us, He really, really will!  However, we know from this last verse many will give heed to SEDUCING SPIRITS.

We need the Holy Spirit in our lives not the devil's spirits who will deceive at every opportunity!

We need the Spirit of truth!

May we receive the Spirit of truth, heeding ONLY the Holy Spirit and no other spirit that may approach us!

We don't SEE Spirits but they exist, they really exist and to not believe is to be deceived.  The Holy Spirit will protect us, teach us, guide us, comfort us, give us the spiritual gifts we need to do the will of God. May we be blessed with the Holy Spirit's guidance in every facet of our lives! All through Jesus Christ our LORD and SAVIOR, now and forever!!!!!!!
