John 16: 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
There are some truths pertaining to the work of The Holy Spirit in your hearts, which might need some scriptural clarification. In the above passages, Jesus breaks down in precis form some of the work which is done in the hearts and minds of persons, by God, through His Holy Spirit. He is the One who accomplishes the work of saving and regenerating us and working in and through the ones who permit Him.
Speaking in tongues, where it is necessary, healing the sick, where it is God’s will, and every other aspect of the Christian’s growth and development is done by the Holy Ghost. It is true, that in the context, Jesus was speaking to His inner circle of disciples, but the work mentioned there pertains to all who will take up the mantle of discipleship, whoever, and wherever they may be. In other words, all who are willing would be guided in to all truth.
And all who choose to stay the course with Christ no matter what, would absolutely be brought from one stage of development to another, not by might, nor by power, but by The Holy Spirit working upon your heart. This is why we stress the grave importance of staying with Jesus all the way.
John 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 show you things to come.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
