What Jesus Left Behind
You know, when I first did a teaching on this I just used this scripture as a door opening for a teaching on the duties of the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit is our comforter. Well,since we just came out of that let’s look at the meat of this Scripture Passage.
And let’s title this Faith, Grace and Mercy (some of our best friends).
Isn’t it beautiful that we have a God who understands us and what we go through every day with the battle of the flesh & the devil. So Jesus is saying, “Hey Kevin, I know how you feel when you are tempted and I understand when you fall short. I’ve been there myself, but I am GOD, so I did not fall short and sin.
But, now listen to this…Keep the Faith in Me not your situation or people, places & things, or even yourself, because these things will let you down. So, remember I Love You and sympathize with you and your weakness. I have Grace and Mercy for you, so don’t let the devil win twice. You are under my Grace and Mercy whenever you fall short because I will forgive you just like I told Peter to forgive his brothers 70 times 7.
But Kevin, I know you love me and make every effort to walk in the Spirit and be righteous, but I also know your human (flesh) side is still there. So I will show you some favor and how to conqueror your flesh since I am not there like I was for my Disciples”.
“This is an example of my Love walk”.
John 14:15-17
If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever — the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
But Jesus, what will he do for me or to me???
John 16:13-15
But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into a truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
Wow, it sounds like I now have The Spirit of God within me, who will instill the Word of God in me. He will critique, chastise, conform, comfort and change me by convicting me of the Truth of the Word and ways of the Lord and not by condemnation (see Romans 8:1-2). I have my own personal guide to walk in the light through my spiritual warfare (see Galatians 5:16-22)
All I can say is God is good and I have freedom and liberty in my Faith and Love Walk.
May God bless my family and the entire world.
I Love You All,
