“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 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. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.” John 16:12-15
The Holy Spirit has three primary purposes.
He convicts the world of sin specifically those who do not believe in Jesus and those believers who have strayed away from God.
He demonstrates righteousness can only be found in Jesus who lives with His Father in heaven.
He executes judgment on the ruler of this world and those living in darkness.
The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. The Bible will not merely be words written in a book. The scriptures will come alive and have a powerful and life changing effect in your life.
The Holy Spirit will not speak on His own authority. He will speak the words He hears from Jesus.
The Holy Spirit will tell you things to come as He listens to the omniscient voice of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit will always glorify Jesus and guide you into living a life pleasing to Him.
The Holy Spirit is continuously at work to purify you with the life of Jesus. This is the process of dying to self and living for God and is mostly accomplished below your consciousness.
The Holy Spirit will take what belongs to Jesus and declare it to you. In fact, He will also share the things of God with you because all things of the Father belong to Jesus.
The Holy Spirit will give you dreams and visions to guide you into the pathway of Christ Jesus.
The Holy Spirit will make intercession for those around you who are in bondage to Satan. This is accomplished by working through you to bring down strongholds and set people free.
The Holy Spirit bears witness to the truths of Jesus. You may hear someone speak (or prophesy) to you and the Holy Spirit will touch you with a warm physical sensation to validate the truth spoken to you is from God.
The Holy Spirit is the life of Jesus. He is the only way you can live in oneness with Jesus.
Jesus lives inside you and desires to have a personal and vibrant relationship with you. Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life and you will experience the reality of God.
He lives so you can live!
