John 14:21 Jesus said: He that hath MY commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth ME: and he that loveth ME shall be loved of MY Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.
How?
This week, Pam Padgett and I were watching WWII documentary on television. This was story of Hitler's plans for various countries after he won the war.
Hitler was consumed with architecture. He planned great buildings for Germany and even had a few of these built before the war began. He focused on the Coliseum in Rome and the fact that this structure had stood for many years, though some decay had surfaced. Hitler wanted to build gigantic buildings that would last decades.
As he spoke of these desires, it came to my mind that Jesus said the time would come when not one stone would stand upon another... also I was reminded of Peter saying this heaven and this earth would pass away.
I mentioned this to Pam and she said she had thought of exactly the same thing.
This is an example of Jesus living in us and Jesus manifesting HIS truth to us!

The Holy Spirit of Jesus lives in the believer and calls to mind the truth presented by Jesus.
Matthew 24 ... The disciples were in awe of the building of the temple in Jerusalem. They pointed this great structure out to Jesus.
v. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
All that we can see with our natural eye will end up being destroyed by God in the last days.

II Peter 3 ... But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

We are kept by the Spirit of Jesus Who lives in us.
For He reminds us of truth so we will not be swept away by the wonders worshipped by the people of this present world!
The Spirit of Jesus lives in us.
And we have the promise from Jesus that HIS Spirit will do the following for us.
John 14:26
- HE will teach you all things (secular and spiritual)
- HE will remind you of everything Jesus has said, for that is truth
John 16:13
- HE will guide you into all truth
- HE will show you things to come
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.
