“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” (John 16:13 KJV)
Yesterdays study brings us right into today's study. The Holy Spirit does not teach you his things, but rather the things that Jesus tells him to speak. Those things that are given you to learn are given daily, so you are able to "bear" the load of the deep knowledge, while still grow toward Him daily.
I want you to note one very important word...GUIDE! The Holy Spirit does not feed you knowledge. He GUIDES you to that knowledge. It is not an abacadabra moment that you have...one day you wake up and understand deep things of God...NOPE! You have to work for it!
Guide means 3594. odhgew hodegeo hod-ayg-eh’-o; from 3595; to show the way (literally or figuratively [teach]):— guide, lead.
The Holy Spirit shows us the way, He leads us to new understanding. Contrary to common pretend Christian belief...going to church every Sunday, and opening the Bible once a week is not going to lead to anything!
You must study daily, search the Scriptures often, and go where the Holy Spirit is leading, if you intend to learn anything! The LORD God and our Lord Jesus Christ want us to learn, but they are not going to fill us up with new knowledge if we are not in a place where we can be led to discover it!
The Holy Spirit hears the things that Jesus Christ wants each individual learner to receive, and he guides the learner toward that truth. You can be certain that the Holy Spirit does not just use Bible study to guide you to that growth...He uses life experiences to bring that message home. We have seen it over and over in this classroom. When we are learning a new and deep concept, many of our life events reflect that same message. That is not by accident. The Holy Spirit guides perfectly, and brings study and life together so the believer can understand.
What is this application? First and foremost, realize how important it is to study the Word of God, and stay atop that mountain, so you are always available for the Holy Spirit to guide you. When you are high in the spiritual realm, realize that every thing that is happening to your life might well be a guiding of the Holy Spirit to cause you to recognize the deep application of your new learnings. Don't come off that mountain! You lose precious time as you try to figure out how to get back up, and you can't be guided as effectively by Him if you are using all your energy to just climb!
