The Daily Word of Righteousness
Living in the Fullness of the Spirit, #2
He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. (John 16:14)
It has become fashionable to pray to the Holy Spirit or to attempt to command the Holy Spirit. These two practices are unscriptural and should not be pursued.
The Holy Spirit always is pleased when we exalt the Lord Jesus and pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit has been charged by the Father to form a perfect bride and bring her to the Lamb. He is not to be prayed to, worshiped, or commanded.
Only the Lord Jesus administrates the things of the Spirit of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ has gone into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. God has sent the Holy Spirit into the world as a Counselor, that He might take of the things of Christ and give them to us.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. (John 14:16,17)
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John 14:26)
The Holy Spirit leads us in our Christian walk. The Bible enables us to discern what is right and wrong. But the Holy Spirit is the One who actually guides us each day.
But 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. (John 16:13)
Because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
The Jews of the old covenant were led by the cloud and the fire.
On the day the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was set up, the cloud covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the tabernacle looked like fire. That is how it continued to be; the cloud covered it, and at night it looked like fire. Whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped. At the LORD's command the Israelites set out, and at his command they encamped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. When the cloud remained over the tabernacle a long time, the Israelites obeyed the LORD's order and did not set out. Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the LORD's command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. At the LORD's command they encamped, and at the LORD's command they set out. They obeyed the LORD's order, in accordance with his command through Moses. (Numbers 9:15-23)
If God would lead His people under the old covenant in such a remarkable manner, how much more will the Spirit of God lead us today if we will learn to pray and look for the Spirit's leading?
To be continued.
