The Helper - Spirit of Truth (notes)

The Helper - Spirit of Truth

Principles

1. Jesus said that if He went away He would send the Holy Spirit.
2. John 16:7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

Jesus Said

• He would ask the Father.
• He would give the church another helper.
• He would be with them forever.
• The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of truth.
• The world cannot accept Him because it can’t see Him or don’t know Him.
• But you know Him, He lives with you and will be in you. (Jn. 14:15-17)
• When He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking what is mine and making it known to you.
• The Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you. (Jn. 16:13-14)

The Spirit of Truth

Is the Spirit of wisdom and revelation that shows us our relationship with Jesus and the hope to which He has called us and our inheritance and what we are in Christ according to Ephesians 1:17.

In Matthew 13

• Jesus said that we could know things by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation.
• Whoever has revelation will more be given and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

Jesus

• Operated in all the gifts of the Spirit but tongues because the Holy Spirit was upon Him and as a result He was anointed to do the works of God.
• The Holy Spirit guided Jesus into all truth by the revelation gifts.
• Picked Nathanael by a word of knowledge. John 1:45-51

When Jesus Talks About The Spirit of truth He was talking about the revelation of the Spirit that comes along side and guides us into the realms of God that man could not know by mere human understanding or worldly wisdom.

It Takes Diligence

• On our part to be given revelation knowledge by the Spirit of truth.
• The more I study the Word of God the more revelation I will be given about Jesus and His Word and this life and the life to come.

The Holy Spirit

• Is the one who gives us the power to represent Jesus on the planet.
• Was sent on the Day of Pentecost to empower the church for its ministry to the world.
• Is sent to the church when the church looses its power to restore the power back to the church to touch the world with God’s love.
