Heirs with Christ
The Holy Ghost will be your teacher.
Jesus said, He shall glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you
(John 16:14). The Holy Ghost doesn’t glorify
Himself; He glorifies Jesus Christ and the
Father. He will show you what the Father
ordained His Son, Jesus, to have and then
show you that you are a joint-heir with Jesus.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the children
of God: And if children,
then heirs; heirs of
God, and joint-heirs
with Christ (Romans
8:16,17). As a child
of God, you are rich;
and you may not
even realize it.
People on Earth
will pay huge
sums of money
for gold, silver,
pearls and other
beautiful stones;
but in Heaven,
gold is used for
pavement. Each
of the twelve gates
to that heavenly
city is made of one
huge pearl. Those
things would cost
trillions of dollars here
on Earth, and that city
belongs to you.
Jesus said, All things that
the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he the Holy
Spirit shall take of mine, and shall shew
it unto you (John 16:15).
Never Hinder Divinity
The Early Church disciples depended on
the Holy Ghost, and so must you. And now,
Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant
unto thy servants, that with all boldness
they may speak thy word, And when they
were led by the Holy Ghost in all that was
recorded in that book.
The Holy Spirit knows everything, so you
can talk to Him and ask Him for whatever
you need. 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).
It is impossible for the Holy
Ghost to increase in your life
if you are not willing to give
up the driver’s seat. I’m
sure you have been in a
vehicle when someone
else was driving, and
you tried to help them
drive. You may have
said, “Watch out for
that car,” or “Do you
see that light?” You
can’t act like that with
the Holy Ghost. You
have to let Him be in
control.
Jesus said, If any
man will come after
me, let him deny himself,
and take up his
cross daily, and follow
me (Luke 9:23). Jesus
is our example, and the
Holy Ghost is the one
who will help you follow
Him. For even hereunto
were ye called: because
Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye
should follow his steps (I Peter 2:21).
The Holy Spirit is vital to you, but how
much you yield to Him will determine
whether or not He will increase or decrease
in your life. You can’t let anything cause you
to tie the hands of God or the Holy Ghost.
Israel did that; and the Bible says, Yea, they
turned back and tempted God, and limited
the Holy One of Israel (Psalm 78:41).
