The Holy Spirit in our time this morning wanted me to share with you the truth that makes for your life and Godliness. In John.16:13 we read these words. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

I need to over emphasize this reality to you because this reality about the Holy Spirit is what positions us to be victorious and triumphant in every situation in life. The person of the Holy Spirit is the Revealer of truth in every issue in life. This is because He is the essence of truth itself. “The Holy Spirit is absolute truth.”

He is the Spirit of truth therefore it is vital that we allow Him to guide us into all the truth. There are no lies with the Holy Spirit so when we are deceived about anything in life it is never the fault of the Holy Spirit but a spirit of error that we have believed or accepted which will bring death. We need to repent of accepting those lies and change course to get back to working in truth with the Holy Spirit .

There is no issue in life that the Holy Spirit will teach you or guide you into that will bring death. The Holy Spirit only brings truth which produces life in every situation and makes a way for forward movement in your life and circumstances. We can know the scripture that deals with every situation in our lives but the Holy Spirit as the truth Revealer makes that scripture real and manifests its reality for us to experience.

When I started out in ministry, I was dealing with a lady who got saved and was having problems with her husband and she needed counsel because she wanted a divorce as her husband was doing things that got her involved with witchcraft.

At that time I was an all scripture minister. I advised her to stay with the man because in my reading Jesus spoke about no divorce in scripture because what God put together no one should put asunder. Well I was wrong in my advice and the Holy Spirit showed me my mistake later because that cost her relationship with the Lord.

The Holy Spirit went on to share the complete truth about that situation with me and it was amazing and liberating. He said I never put them together in the first place so that union was not of His making. Therefore divorce would have freed her to serve the Lord and not succumb to witchcraft.

The fact that they were married was a decision they made when they met and because they came to church and had a minister officiate it did not make it a God union. She was not to submit to witchcraft to remain in union with a man who hurt and ruined her life.

I unfortunately not understanding the true context of scripture should not have advised her to stay in that situation of death. There was no peace in that situation and Jesus calls us to be at peace. I also went on to lose a faithful daughter in the Lord thinking I had saved a marriage. I should have sought the counsel of the Holy Spirit on what she should do in this situation.

We need to be able to ask the advice of the Holy Spirit on any matter and get His perspective before acting prematurely which I have learnt to do. It truly saves life if we inquire of the Holy Spirit before giving an answer.

I repented and learnt a salient lesson about the difference between the letter of truth we know from scripture and the truth the Holy Spirit reveals and guides us in which always produces life.

The Holy Spirit always guides us into all truth as the law/letter kills but the Spirit gives life. The law is not a person and is unable to relate to individual circumstances because it does not feel the person or appreciate the emotions, intents and purposes of the heart in the individual situation to give the best possible judgment based on all the mitigating facts surrounding it.

The law only imposes flat judgment and ensuing punishment for non compliance. The Holy Spirit is a Person and judges righteously on the basis of full revealed truth not just facts.

I found that satan always defeated me on truth I did not know by revelation of the Holy Spirit so I developed a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit and His guidance into truth which then brought forth fruit and much life and no losses.

This is why I am so passionate about walking and working with the Holy Spirit because that gives you the edge in life because truth is guiding you on what to do and what not to do. This ensures you always come out trumps because you followed the Spirit of truth.

I choose to believe what the Holy Spirit reveals about anybody more than anything they say or do or even preach because the Holy Spirit will always reveal the truth on the matter. He always keeps us up to date with the truth.John.13:36-38.

I pray today that as you hear these truths the grace contained in them will become reality in your life and experience and you will walk in the truth the Holy Spirit makes available to you and commit to always seeking Him for the Truth in all matters that pertain to your life and Godliness.

Let the Spirit of truth be your guide into all truth and stop yielding to your own understanding because it is killing you. Start living again by the truth the Holy Spirit supplies you for life. May the Lord help you to make this transition so your life can take shape again in truth for the glory of the Lord in Jesus name. Amen.
