Apostle John said, “I have many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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 show you things to come.” (John 16:12-13)
It is dreadfully important to listen to what the chosen Men of God (who were inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT) have written. Yup! So, lets hear what Apostle John is saying to us. I know you’re smart, you’re educated, you’re experienced, you have a nice car (or you may have several), you have a house (no mortgage), you have a vacation home, you’re a doctor, lawyer or Indian chief, but you ain’t got nothing on GOD’s Word as it comes from THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF! Thus, HIS WORD was Divinely given to His choice writers to deliver to the World. So let’s not get haughty and reject the WORD OF GOD!
BRING IT DOWN ON HOME:
Have you ever tried to explain to a family member or friend about the words you spoke to them but they mistook everything you said. Yet, he/she could not accept your advice or opinion because of their own blindness. Before he/she asked you, the decision was already made. The problem is you because you did not agree with them. Maybe you suggested that he shop around before buying a new car or build up his credit. Instead of allowing you to explain in detail, he checked out! Those words rocked your soul then you got mad! After six months or more, the two of you started talking again as the real truth surfaced!
Well, it’s like that with the WORD OF GOD with one exception! The SPIRIT OF TRUTH (sent by GOD) is come to guide us into all TRUTH! HE is ever present before GOD’s throne. As an avid listener, the HOLY SPIRIT is given special instructions which is faster than any Western Union and a speeding bullet to reveal GOD’s messages to us.
For example, the Holy SPIRIT blocked me from being shot in front of my residence! One time, I was preparing to leave my place and six times I forgot a certain package (that was up stairs) on my bed. Yet, six times I went into the house and FORGOT what I came into the house to get. This happened six times as my memory was blocked. On the seventh time, I re-entered the house and remembered why I came in. After I got into my convertible, there was a rifle shot fired by an old man who hit a young man in front of my house. Allow me to pause for a moment. I use to see this old man sitting on his porch with his shotgun and I said, “Fred don’t you shoot me or anybody!” He answered, “I ain’t gonna hurt you Miss Connie but I’m guarding my property!” Many months after that on a bright sunny day, Fred shot somebody.
My car was parked behind my residence but the disturbance was going on in front of my driveway which was about 300 feet to the curve. I never heard anything arguing or screaming, but as I drove down the drive way, there lay a young man bleeding in the middle of the street and he was in such great pain that he pounded the street with his left fist as he cried! I shall never forget that picture which is engraved in my mind! However the SPIRIT OF TRUTH is a keeper!
What’s my point, you too may have been in grave danger or in harms way, but the LORD kept you from dying – youse show ain’t dead because youse reading this Post! How many times have you been in a bar, night club, sports event, or private home and someone started some mess? At the night club, the bouncers can throw folk out! Sometimes, the establishment has to call the police to come.
Maybe you’ve seen a fight at school, restaurant, or even in the House of God! These days, its common for angry teens (without a motive) to shoot classmates and teachers because the dEVIL fills them up with hatred. These angry birds are mad with their parents (who never listen to them), society, and demands placed upon them through social media – (advertisements state you have to have the latest IPhone, $300. ear buds, certain designer clothes and shoes, an expensive backpack, or your own fast car to drive. When these things don’t materialize for them – they become inflamed and they cannot discern or sort out their lives. Why? They do not have the SPIRIT OF TRUTH and neither do their parents! In fact, the family never goes to Church or sits down for Bible study (during the week), or have a round table meeting to talk about things. Most parents assume the kids are alright.
More so, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH will reveal to you things to come! modern folks call it psyche power but this comes only from the human psyche which IS NOT the same as the SPIRIT OF TRUTH! For instance a surgeon may deviate from normal procedures to save a life as there is no example in the text book for him. So, the surgeon consorts with other surgeons on duty before making a definite plan of action. In some cases, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, breathes on the surgeon and he receives Divine revelation. The HOLY SPIRIT may say, “Don’t make the incision there, instead make it from the other side!” Furthermore, the prayers of the righteous are going up to Heaven for the patient and a chain of prayers are circulating among Church members! This is the type of intervention the HOLY SPIRIT makes for us. In fact, the HOLY SPIRIT not only covers believers, but HE is hovering over the entire World.
If you are going through your season of unhappy events, unhappy thoughts, depression, lack of understanding, failures, medical issues, or something else, you need to activate my advice and put it in your mind and heart, ” GOD CAN DO MUCH MUCH MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE! ” Those problems which are not working out, the people in your life which are toxic, your supervisor or co-workers which give you hell, and your family members which snap on you are nothing for the LORD to handle. Alone, you cannot fix your problems.
But there are some things you can fix. For example, if you are chronically late to work, you need to go to bed earlier which means get off the Internet, and silence your cell phone. You cannot lay up in bed all night talking a bunch of smack to somebody when you should be sleeping. You cannot surf the Web because the dEVIL will take you to all kinds of websites and you just cannot close the laptop. If you are eating late night snacks, put down the candy, pork chops and steak sandwiches. Instead of drinking alcohol or sodas (late nights) drink some water! Place your bags and stuff by the front door so you won’t forget to take things with you!
However, there are things you cannot fix and these items and people you must give them to the LORD. Write down the issues on paper and pray over it. Then place that list inside the Bible and let GOD do HIS work. Trust me (after a period of time passes), HE will fix your problems! HE ain’t gonna come when you want HIM, but HE is right on time! ” GOD CAN DO MUCH MUCH MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!
Have a Blessed Day!
