The Holy Spirit is a Person of THE GODHEAD and not to be ignored!
Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the Truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
Jesus was referencing The third Person of THE GODHEAD Who was yet to be sent to the earth for an earthly ministry accessible to all. In essence, Jesus planted the “seed” on a limited basis, but The Holy Spirit was to minister The Gospel to all the earth without restriction, both Jew and Gentile alike.
8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 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.
14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
The Holy Spirit leads us to the Absolute Truth in all areas of our lives, without exception. Jesus declared that when the Truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every Truth within us. He won’t speak on His own, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will also reveal prophetically to you what is to come.
Everyone wants to know the future. The Internet is full of those who give continuous predictions whether they are found to be true or false. Why would anyone disregard the ministry of The Holy Spirit Who is The Spirit of Absolute Truth? Why go through life blinded by what the world tries to predict?
People who trust in Jesus and His Words should fully embrace the Words He spoke in John chapter 16. Why resist the help of The Holy Spirit in your everyday activities? If The Holy Spirit is intimately involved in your daily activities, the adversary has no place in your walk. You cannot be manipulated by his minions when you are being led by The Holy Spirit. Can it be any clearer than this?
Jesus was leaving the earth so The Holy Spirit could come forth in further ministry and expansion of The Kingdom on earth. Jesus said, “It is to your advantage that I go away”. It was and is advantageous for us to fully embrace the ministry of The Holy Spirit in our individual lives. We must not resist this God-given advantage spoken specifically to us by Jesus own Words!
James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his epistle, chapter 4:
5 Does the Scripture mean nothing to you that says, “The Spirit that God breathed into our hearts is a jealous Lover Who intensely desires to have more and more of us”?
6 But He continues to pour out more and more grace upon us. For it says, “God resists you when you are proud but continually pours out grace when you are humble.”
7 So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him and he will flee in agony.
8 Move your heart closer and closer to God, and He will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting.
How do you fully surrender to GOD? Fully embrace the ministry of The Holy Spirit which allows you to come closer and closer to GOD!
