Jesus sent The Holy Spirit to mature and empower us so that we will be able to produce good fruit for the Kingdom. Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
12 “There is so much more I would like to say to you, but it’s more than you can grasp at this moment.
Without The Holy Spirit, we have difficulty grasping Spiritual Truth and Jesus knew this thus He was sending The Holy Spirit to reveal Truth and give us the capacity to grasp Spiritual Truth directly through The Holy Spirit.
13 But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every Truth within you. He won’t speak His own message, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me on the earth, for He will receive from Me what is Mine and reveal it to you. 15 Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is Mine and reveal it to you. 16 Soon you won’t see Me any longer, but then, after a little while, you will see Me in a new way.”
These Words are packed with revelation about why we should fully submit to The Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives. This is also why there is such resistance by the adversary and his followers to resist this revelation and reality. Those who resist The Holy Spirit are adversaries to these Words of Jesus. It is that simple!
Do you want all Truth revealed? Be led by The Holy Spirit and pray in Tongues. Do you want to glorify Jesus? Submit to The Holy Spirit. Do you desire to know what is coming? Let The Holy Spirit reveal it to you as you pray.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
11 Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, He will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!
Do you want your dying body to receive the same life as Jesus? Pray in Tongues often for The Holy Spirit will raise your dying body to life!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 14:
14 It is good that you are enthusiastic and passionate about spiritual gifts, especially prophecy. 2 When someone speaks in Tongues, no one understands a word he says, because he’s not speaking to people, but to God—he is speaking intimate mysteries in the Spirit. 3 But when someone prophesies, he speaks to encourage people, to build them up, and to bring them comfort. 4 The one who speaks in Tongues advances his own spiritual progress, while the one who prophesies builds up the church.
Do you want to come into full Spiritual maturity? Paul reveals his secret in the above passage- speaking in Tongues advances our Spiritual progress into full maturity. Paul adds:
18 I give thanks to God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.
If Paul who wrote 2/3rds of The New Testament gives us the key to Spiritual maturity, why should we challenge his revelation given to him directly by Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit?
Jude also wrote by The Holy Spirit:
20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most Holy faith by praying every moment in The Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the Love of God and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives us eternal life.
The above passages should establish our Spiritual priorities on a daily basis. Embrace them and expect a notable advance in Spiritual maturity.
