The Work of the Holy Spirit

He will take of Mine and declare it to you. John 16:15
Scripture reading: John 16:5–15

What will the Holy Spirit do? The Holy Spirit is prophetic.
The Holy Spirit is the spokesman in these days, and He speaks the Word. The Holy Spirit takes the words of Jesus, and He is so full of truth that He never adds anything to them. He gives you the unadulterated Word of Truth, the Word of Life. The Holy Spirit takes these words and gives them to you. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, is bringing forth the Word of Life. “I will give you rest.” Rest? Oh, there is no rest like it! It can come in your moment of greatest trial. Amen

Greater Works

He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. John 14:12

Scripture reading: John 14:1–14

Jesus saw great potential in the disciples. He knew He had the material that would bring out what would prove to be a real satisfaction to the world.
What were the disciples? For one thing, they were unlearned.
Divine wisdom will never make you foolish. Divine wisdom will give you a sound mind; divine wisdom will give you a touch of divine nature. Divine life is full of divine appointment and equipping, and you cannot be filled with the power of God without a manifestation. Amen

The Proper Use of Liberty

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17
Scripture reading: Galatians 5:1–15

We must never abuse liberty; we must be in the place where liberty can use us. But if we are in the Spirit, the Lord of Life is the same Spirit.
In the Spirit, there is a divine plan.
Liberty has many aspects to it, but no liberty is going to help people as much as testimony.
Do not use your liberty except for the glory of God. Amen

Beautiful Righteousness

For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 2 Corinthians 3:9
Scripture reading: Psalm 11

All the excellent glory is in Him. All righteousness is in Him. Everything that pertains to holiness and godliness, everything that denounces and brings to death the carnal, everything that makes you know you have ceased to be forever, is found in the knowledge of the endless power in the risen Christ. Amen

Living in the Spirit

The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6
Scripture reading: John 6:53–71

We cannot define, separate, or deeply investigate and unfold this holy plan of God unless we have the life of God, the thought of God, the Spirit of God, and the revelation of God. If you try to discern it without the help of the Spirit, you will end up with a limited, human understanding.
We must know that the baptism of the Spirit immerses us into an intensity of zeal, into a likeness to Jesus; it makes us into pure, liquid metal so hot for God that it travels like oil from vessel to vessel. This divine life of the Spirit will let us see that we have ceased, yet we have begun. We are at the end for a beginning. Amen

The Calling

You were called in one hope of your calling. Ephesians 4:4
Scripture reading: John 3:1–21

Many people who are called miss the call because they are dull of hearing. There is something in the call, beloved. “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matt. 22:14).
The choice is always your choice first. You will find that gifts are your choice first. You will find that salvation is your choice. God has made it all, but you have to choose. God wants you to make an inward call, to be in a great intercessory condition of imploring the Holy One to prepare you for that wonderful spiritual body.
Let God comfort your heart. Let Him strengthen your weakness. Let Him cause you to come into the place of profit. Let Him help you into the place He has chosen for you, for “many are called, but few are chosen” (Matt. 22:14). But God has a big choice. Amen

Being a Peacemaker

Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:3
Scripture reading: Matthew 5:9, 17–24

Of all the things God intends for us to be, He intends for us to be peacemakers. There is no place better in Scripture to help me make this point any better than Matthew 5:23–24:

Most Christians are satisfied with the first meaning of this passage, but the second meaning is deeper. Most people believe it is perfectly right, if you have offended another, to go to that person and say, “Please forgive me,” and you win your brother when you take that part. But this is the deeper sense: “If you...remember that your brother has something against you,” go and forgive him his transgressions. It is so much deeper than getting your own side right to go and get his side right by forgiving him of all that he has done. Amen
