certain situations, stop and consider what Jesus
would do. If you are sincere, the Holy Ghost
will let you know. Jesus said, 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).
The Spirit of truth guides you through the
Word of truth, so He will never lead you astray;
but He will lead you away from the many
false prophets and false doctrines of this last
hour. Jesus warned about this more than once.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you
in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves (Matthew 7:15). For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect (Matthew 24:24).
There will be times when the Spirit will guide
you on a path that you may not understand,
but you must trust His guidance and yield to
His leadership. The Bible says, Trust in the
LORD with all thine heart; and lean not
unto thine own understanding. In all thy
ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct
thy paths through the person of the Holy
Ghost (Proverbs 3:5,6).
At other times, the Holy Ghost will show you
things to come in order to encourage you or
prepare you for what lies ahead on your divine
mission. That is what happened to the Apostle
Paul as he made his way to Jerusalem for the
last time. And now, behold, I go bound in
the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the
things that shall befall me there: Save that
the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying
that bonds and afflictions abide me (Acts
20:22,23).
A Teacher from On High
The Holy Ghost is to be your teacher, and He
will teach those He dwells in. But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you (John 14:26).
It is so important for a child of God to be a
student of God’s Word because the more you
study and know God’s Word, the more material
the Holy Ghost will be able to use to instruct
you in the ways of divinity. The Holy Ghost is
the teacher; you are the student, and the Word
of God is your textbook.
Paul said, Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God; that we might know the things that
are freely given to us of God. Which things
also we speak, not in the words which man’s
wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost
teacheth; comparing spiritual things with
spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not
the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned
(I Corinthians 2:12–14). The Word is spiritual,
so it can only be spiritually discerned.
As you study the Word with your teacher, the
Holy Ghost, He will open your understanding
of scriptures that you may have struggled with
in the past. Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth (II Timothy 2:15). The more you study
and memorize scriptures, the greater opportunity
the Holy Ghost has to bring those scriptures
to your remembrance that will bless you,
strengthen you and comfort you in your time of
need.
You Can Know Jesus
But when the Comforter is come, whom I
will send unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the
Father, he shall testify of me (John 15:26).
The Holy Ghost was sent to testify of Jesus,
