Our Helper

No one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:3 Scripture reading: John 14:16–31 

The Holy Spirit has a royal plan, a heavenly plan. He came to unveil the King, to show the character of God, to unveil the precious blood.
We read of some who heard the Word but did not benefit from it, because faith was lacking in them (Rom. 9:6–8). We must have a living faith in God’s Word, a faith that is quickened by the Spirit.
A man may be saved and still have a human spirit. In many people who hear about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the human spirit immediately arises against the Holy Spirit. The human spirit is not subject to the law of God, nor can it be. (See Romans 8:7.) The disciples at one time wanted to call down fire from heaven, and Jesus said to them, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of” (Luke 9:55). The human spirit is not subject to the law of God. The Holy Spirit came forth for one purpose: to reveal Jesus to us. Jesus “made Himself of no reputation” (Phil. 2:7), and He was obedient unto death (v. 8), that God should forever hold Him up as a token of submissive yieldedness. Amen

A Perfect Fit

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4 Scripture reading: Romans 12:3–13

The variation among humanity is tremendous.
So the Word of God deals here with varieties of gifts, meaning that these gifts perfectly meet the condition of each believer. That is God’s plan. It may be that not one person would be led to claim all the gifts. Nevertheless, do not be afraid; the Scriptures are definite. Paul said that you do not need to come short in any gift (1 Cor. 1:7).

The Precious Word

Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.
1 Corinthians 14:12 Scripture reading: Luke 8:4–18

This Scripture is the Word of God, and it is most important that when we read the Word, we do so with hearts that have purposed to obey its every precept. We have no right to open the Word of God carelessly or indifferently.
So many people are receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but then they do not know which way to go.
We have a great need today. It is that we may be supplied with revelation according to the mind of the Lord, that we may be instructed by the mind of the Spirit, that we may be able to rightly divide the Word of Truth (2 Tim. 2:15), and that we may not be novices, considering the fact that the Spirit of the Lord has come to us in revelation. We ought to be alert to every touch of divine, spiritual illumination. Amen

Sacrifice Is Nothing without Love

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:3 Scripture reading: Mark 6:30–56

He will judge you for it? We have to be careful because the body that is given to us is to exhibit His power and His glory, and we cannot do this if we give ourselves all the time to work, work, work and think that that is the only way. It is not the way.
The Scriptures teach us that Jesus had to go and renew His spiritual vision and power in solitude with His Father (Mark 1:35), and it was also necessary for the disciples to draw aside and rest awhile (Mark 6:30–31). Amen

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
1 Corinthians 13:1 Scripture reading:

Did you ever read a verse like this? It is the state of being brought into a treasury. Do you know what a treasury is? A treasury holds or handles priceless things. God puts you into the treasury to hold or handle the precious gifts of the Spirit. Therefore, so that you may not fail to handle them correctly, He gives you a picture of how you may handle them.
There are men who have such wonderful qualifications for speaking.

If you want to take blessing into homes and make all the people around you know that you have something more than an ordinary life, you must know that God has come to supplant you and put within you a perfect praise.

Yield to the Holy Spirit

Desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians 14:39–40
Scripture reading:
1 Corinthians 14:1–25

You are not to consider, under any circumstances, that, because you have a spiritual gift, it is right for you to use that gift, unless the unction of the Spirit is upon you. Unless you adhere to this word, every assembly where you are will be broken up, and you will cause trouble. Until you come to a right understanding of the Scriptures, you will never be pleasing to God.
You have to be very careful that you never use tongues and interpretation in confusion with prophecy. When prophecy is going forth and the truth is being heard and all the people are receiving it with joy and are being built up, then there is no room for tongues or interpretation.
So you who have this wonderful gift of tongues must see to it that you never break in where the Spirit is having perfect right-of-way. But when the Spirit is working with you and you know there is a line of truth that the Lord desires to express, then let the name of God be glorified. Amen

How to Test the Spirits

You are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one. 1 John 2:14 Scripture reading:

There are evil thoughts, and there are thoughts of evil. Evil thoughts are suggestive of the Evil One.
Where do thoughts of evil come from? God knows your thoughts; God knows all things. Satan can only suggest evil thoughts to try to arouse your carnal nature.

Testimonial Prophecy

And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10 Scripture reading: Revelation 19

There is the prophecy that is the testimony of the saved person regarding what Jesus has done for him. Everyone, every newborn soul, has this kind of prophecy. Through the new birth that results in righteousness, God has given an anointing of the Spirit, a real unction of the Spirit of Christ. We felt when we were saved that we wanted everybody to be saved. That mindset has to be continuous; the whole world can be regenerated by the spirit of prophecy as we testify of our salvation in Christ. Amen

Then the power of the Spirit, this breath of God, takes of the things of Jesus (see John 16:14–15) and sends forth as a river the utterances of the Spirit. Again, when the body is filled with joy, sometimes so inexpressible, the canvas of the mind has great power to move the operation of the tongue to bring out the very depths of the inward heart’s power, love, and joy to us.

Matthew 11:3 Scripture reading: Matthew 11:12–24

Can you to see how satanic power can work in the mind. Satan came to John when he was in prison. We find that Satan can come to any of us.
Let us prove that we have a greater power than Satan’s—in imagination, in thought, in everything. Satan came to John the Baptist in prison and said to him, “Don’t you think you have made a mistake? Here you are in prison. Isn’t there something wrong with the whole business? After all, you may be greatly deceived about being a forerunner of the Christ.”
There are men who might be giants of faith, who might be leaders of society, who might rise to subdue kingdoms (Heb. 11:33), who might be noble among princes, but they are defeated because they allow the suggestions of Satan to dethrone their better knowledge of the power of God.
John sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are You the Messiah?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: the blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” (Matt. 11:4–5) And when they saw the miracles and wonders and heard the gracious words He spoke as the power of God rested upon Him, they were ready to believe.

We must have the knowledge and power of God and the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God, in order to be clothed with God. There are those who have come into line: they have the blessed Christ within and the power of the baptism, which is the revelation of the Christ of God within.

I must understand how mortality can be “swallowed up” (2 Cor. 5:4). I must know how the old body, the old tendencies to the fallen nature, may be swallowed up. There is a verse we must come to. It would serve us to look at it now: “Always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body”
(2 Cor. 4:10).
What is this “dying of the Lord”? It is dying to desire. In the measure that we look to one another for our help, we lose faith in God. If you rely upon any man or woman, upon any human assistance, to help you, you fall out of the greater purpose God has for you. You must learn that no earthly source can ever assist you in this. You are going to this realm of life only by mortality being swallowed up by life: “And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God” (Gal. 2:20).

But it would be perfectly justifiable if we clearly allow the Spirit of the Lord to have His liberty with us. However, we are not to behave inappropriately in our liberty, for the flesh is more extravagant than the Spirit. The Spirit’s extravagances are always for edification, strengthening character, and bringing us all more into conformity with the life of Christ. But fleshly extravagances always mar these things and bring the saints into a place of trial for the moment. As the Spirit of the Lord takes further hold of a person, we may get liberty in it, but we are tried through the manifestations of it.

Paul’s Conversion and Baptism

Some people have an idea that it is only preachers who can know the will of God. However, this account of Saul shows us that the Lord had a disciple in Damascus, named Ananias, a man behind the scenes, who lived in a place where God could talk to him. His ears were open. He was one who listened in to the things from heaven. Oh, they are so much more marvelous than anything you can hear on earth! It was to this man that the Lord appeared in a vision. He told him to go down to the street called Straight and to inquire for Saul. And He told him that Saul had seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him so that he might receive his sight.
The Lord never despises a broken and contrite heart (Ps. 51:17). Saul was given a vision that was soon to be a reality, the vision of Ananias coming to pray for him so that he would receive his sight. Amen

Paul’s Conversion and Baptism

“Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized. Acts 9:17–18 Scripture reading: Acts 8:1–13

Our God delights to be merciful, and His grace is granted daily to both sinner and saint. Amen

We will preaching at home tonight at Silverado Cowboy Church in Weatherford, Tx.

Speech That Edifies

And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Joel 2:28–29
Scripture reading:
1 Corinthians 14:1–25

We know that the prophecy spoken by Joel was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. This was the first outpouring of the Spirit, but what would it be like now if we would only wake up to the words of our Master, “Greater works than these [you] will do, because I go to My Father”
(John 14:12)? Amen

Have a blessed weekend

A Good Foundation

Being rooted and grounded in love. Ephesians 2:11–22 Scripture reading: Ephesians 2:11–22

It is quite easy to construct a building if the foundation is secure. On the other hand, a building will be unstable if it does not have a solid understructure. Likewise, it is not very easy to rise spiritually unless we have a real spiritual power working within us. It will never do for us to be top-heavy—the base must always be very firmly set. Many of us have not gone on in the Lord because we have not had a secure foundation in Him, and we will have to consider “the pit from which [we] were dug” (Isa. 51:1). Amen

Have blessed mid-week

You Have an Anointing

But you have an anointing from the Holy One.
1 John 2:20
Scripture reading:
1 John 2:15–29 

Another of the roles of the Holy Spirit that is necessary for today we find in
John 14:26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy [Spirit], 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. (kjv)
Jesus said something very similar in a later chapter: “He will take of what is Mine and declare [reveal] it to you” (John 16:14). Everything that has been revealed to you was first taken. So, first, the Holy Spirit takes of what is Christ’s and reveals it to you. Then you come to the place where you need another touch. What is it? In the necessity of your ministry, He will bring to your remembrance everything that you need in your ministry. That is an important thing for preachers. God will give us His Word, and if there is anything special we need, He will bring that to our memories, too. The Holy Spirit comes to bring the Word to our remembrance. Amen

Be Specific in What You Ask

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek. —Psalm 27:4
Scripture reading: Psalm 27

When the Lord reveals to you that you must be filled with the Holy Spirit, seek only that one thing, and God will give you that one thing. It is necessary for you to seek one thing first.
Never forget, the baptism will always be as it was in the beginning. It has not changed.
When the Holy Spirit comes, He will reveal things to you. Has He revealed them yet? He is going to do it. Just expect Him to do so. The best thing for you is to expect Him to do it now. Amen

The Comfort of the Holy Spirit

I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.
John 14:16 kjv Scripture reading: John 14:15–31

Jesus knew that He was going away and that, if He went away, it was expedient, it was necessary, it was important that Another come in His place and continue guiding and teaching them as He had been (John 16:7, 14 kjv). “You in Me, and I in you” (John 14:20). There was a plan of divine order. So the Holy Spirit was to come.
How could they be comforted? The Holy Spirit would take the word of Christ and reveal it to them (John 16:14). What could help them as much as a word by the Spirit? For 
the Spirit is breath, is life, is person, is power. He gives the breath of Himself to us, the nature of Him. How beautiful that, when the Spirit came, He should be called the “Spirit of truth” (John 14:17). Oh, if we would only let that truth sink deep into our hearts! Amen

The Hope of Glory

We have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:2
Scripture reading: John 7 

You must know where you are going. The great, mighty masterpiece of all is the great plan of the Rapture. It is the hope of glory, divine life, the peace of God, and the enrichment of the soul. It is “poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 5:5). The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of God’s Son. He is so uniquely divine that He has the power to overcome. His power is pure. His power must not cease to develop. The Holy Spirit is there to create development and to help us progress in our faith as the Lord would have us to.Jesus is eternal. He has the power to impart eternal gifts. He has delivered us from the curse of the law and set us free. Who loves the Gospel as much as those who have been saved? Amen

A Heavenly Citizenship

For our citizenship is in heaven.
Philippians 3:20 Scripture reading: Philippians 3

The law is truly “our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith” (Gal. 3:24). I am glad that laws are established on the earth. Law is good when it helps to keep things in order in society.
We belong to a higher, nobler citizenship, and it isn’t an earthly citizenship, for “our citizenship is in heaven” (Phil. 3:20). So we must see that there is an excellent glory about this position we are holding in Christ. For if the natural law will keep an earthly city in somewhat moderate conditions, what will the excellent glory be in the divine relationship of the citizenship to which we belong? Amen

Delight to Do God’s Will

How will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
2 Corinthians 3:8 Scripture reading:
1 Peter 1:13–25

May the Lord help us to understand His word. We see the truth as it was brought to the Israelites in the law. Paul had something to glory in when he kept the law and was blameless, but he said he threw that to one side to win Him who is even greater than that (Phil. 3:8). The glory is exceeding. The glory is excellent. When Peter was describing that wonderful day on the Mount of Transfiguration, he said, “Such a voice came to Him [Christ] from the Excellent Glory” (2 Pet. 1:17). And so we are hearing from the Excellent Glory. It is so lovely.
Divine immortality swallows up all natural mortality. It is lovely to walk in the Spirit; then we will not fulfill any part of the law without the Spirit causing us to dwell in safety, rejoice inwardly, praise God reverently, and know that we are an increasing force of immortality swallowing up life. Amen
