Title: He Shall Teach You All Things
Memorize: But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:26 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 (Nkjv)
[6] However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
[7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,
[8] which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
[9] But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
[10] But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
[11] For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
[13] These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
[14] But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
[15] But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
[16] For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Message:
The Holy Spirit is a teacher. In today’s memory verse, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will teach you all things.
When you are intimate with the Holy Spirit, He will cause you to be enlightened beyond your level of education.
You might read the same materials that other people read, but the knowledge and insights you will get from those same materials will be far more than what they get.
When you study your Bible, the Holy Spirit will illuminate the word of God to you beyond your level of intelligence.
Many ministers find it difficult to retain their members because they are unable to feed them with the real word of God.
In some cases, by the time some of these ministers are halfway through reading the Bible text for their sermons, their members already know what they will say, how they will start, and how they will end.
The only way you can get something new from the word of God every day is when the Holy Spirit teaches you Himself.
He is the only One who is capable of giving you fresh revelation from the Scriptures daily.
When I study the Bible, I usually read a chapter, then I ask the Holy Spirit which verse we will dwell on out of the entire passage.
He will often show me the verse, and then I will ask Him to teach me from that verse, and He will.
However, one day, I was reading Matthew 10, and after I read verse 1, and while reading verse 2, He said to me, “Stop. We are going to discuss verse 2 today.” I looked at the verse: “Now the names of the twelve apostles are these…”
I couldn’t imagine how there could be something to learn from that verse, so I said, “Lord, I can’t see anything to dwell on here.”
He told me, “Read it again.” I read it again and again. By the time I was reading it the third time, light had broken out, and I had begun to see what the Holy Spirit wanted me to see.
I will discuss what the Holy Spirit showed me in Matthew 10:2 tomorrow because I can write an entire book from that verse alone now.
Beloved, if you want to become smarter and more intelligent every day, you need to get more intimate with the Holy Spirit.
He will teach you so well that even you will be amazed by how knowledgeable and wise you will become.
Key Point:
The Holy Spirit teaches us and illuminates our hearts when we become intimate with Him.
