What Does The Holy Spirit Do?
4 things the Holy Spirit does in the believer:
- He teaches us all things (Jn. 14:26)
- He brings to our mind everything Jesus has said to us (Jn. 14:26)
- He guides us into all truth (Jn. 16:13)
- He shows us things to come (Jn. 16:13)
The Holy Spirit is great power for HE searches the heart of God to show the believer the will of God in the specific issues of this present life.
Paul explained: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 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. 13 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. I Cor. 2
Something can seem like a good thing, but is it really the way God wants you to go? It is the Holy Spirit who searches the heart of God to find out the thinking of God on the matter at hand. So when we think of something that God might want us to do, we pray, asking God about this idea ... then we wait until we are shown by God one way or another.
Satan appears as an "angel of light" (II Cor. 11:14) with good ideas and good works which would keep us busy and cost us a lot of money. So we have to be sure the idea we have is from God.
