“The
Spirit will…make it known to you.” Jn 16:15 NIV
THE TEACHER (2)
The Holy Spirit, Who is your Teacher: (1) Wants you
to search God’s Word for answers and directions. He doesn’t want you to be
passive and simply accept whatever comes into your life. He wants you to turn
to His Word for insight; to find divine solutions to the human problems
confronting you day in and day out. He wants you to stand on His word instead
of lying down and saying, “I guess this is just the way it’s got to be.” Your
Bible is a road map that will never steer you the wrong way. It’s a sword you
can fight with, and win every time. “Meditate in it day and night…do according
to all that is written in it. For then you will…have good success” (Jos 1:8
NKJV). (2) Wants you to grow by following in the footsteps of Jesus. The word
discipline comes from the Greek word mathetes, which means “a learned or
student.” In Jesus’ day, disciples not only learned from the teacher’s
lectures, but also by observing and experiencing every aspect of the teacher’s
life. That’s how Jesus trained His twelve disciples. And finally the time came
when He could say to them, “The works that I do shall [you] do also” (Jn
14:12). Peter, James, and John, “the inner circle,” had a more intimate
relationship with Christ. That was not because He loved them more, but that He
had a particular plan in mind for them. What’s God’s plan for you? That’s what
the battle in your life is about. Satan will do all he can to put distance
between you and God. Don’t let him!
