At one point I thought anyone could understand the Bible, but the longer I am around Christians I realize that those who (allegedly, but only God knows) have the Holy Spirit don’t necessarily want to listen or know how to listen to Him.
The Bible isn’t a normal book. Yes some of the surface information can be understood by just reading the words on the pages, but if someone can’t or won’t listen to the Holy Spirit then they’ll never really be able to understand most of the Bible with any depth of understanding.
I know many people have probably heard this a million times and think they’re under some sort of blessing that makes them automatically understand the Bible, but with over 45,000 denominations and countless cults, that just isn’t the case.
Christians must choose to listen to the Holy Spirit everyday, but there are so many reasons why they don’t.
Today, if you’ll hear His voice, listen to the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will guide you, or try rather, but if you won’t follow and won’t listen to your Guide’s directions then you won’t be guided anywhere except by yourself or other influences.
John 16:23 LEB
But when he—the Spirit of truth—comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come.
“
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship him in spirit and in truth.”
John 4:24 KJV
“Now when
all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying,
the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a
voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.”
Luke 3:21-22 KJV
“
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To
set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Luke 4:18-19, 21
“
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the
Son of the living God.”
John 6:63, 68-69
“
Jesus answered and
said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He that
loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and
the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
John 14:23-26
“God is a spirit “
“It is written in the prophets, And
they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father,
cometh unto me.”
John 6:45
“Now
the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face
beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 3:17-18
The Holy Spirit spoke the gospel , it was the first time in recorded history that God was in one Jesus spirit that lives in him and preached the gospel and promised it would be true forever. The Holy Spirit spoke eternal words and sent them to all for salvation he the spirit came from heaven
“For
I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
John 6:38
and spoke his word clearly
“:
he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for
God giveth not
the Spirit by measure
unto him.
The Father loveth
the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
John 3:31-36 KJV
The Holy Spirit has come and spoken the truth
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37
if we make the gospel our home in our study the Holy Spirit is teaching us through those words Jesus spoke it’s how we can understand the law , prophets and epistles by comin GB d going from what Jesus taught whe. He came those are the words of the holy spirit and they do indeed as Jesus claims quicken believers who hear them educate and edify teach and guide , rebuke and reprove they bless and promise and warn us all and say believe and be saved
