SECRETS OF THE SPIRIT (The Upper Room Talk) P1
Revelation
Ever find yourself as a disciple of Jesus Christ wishing that you were alive during the era of His incarnation? The truth is that, though Jesus has left the earth and taken His rightful place at the right hand of the Father in Heaven, He is closer now than ever. How can this be? The veil has been lifted through the ever present, all powerful presence of His Holy Spirit, the great eye opener.
In the Upper Room Jesus spoke to his followers about the Spirit. (John 13 to 17)
The Holy Spirit INDWELLS every Christian believer for the purpose of allowing them to SEE His Son, Jesus Christ, more clearly than ever before (Rom 8:8, 9). - (see Sermon Notes above)
Readings for this week's talk:
John 14:
12 “I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.
15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. 17 He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.
19 “In a little while the world will see Me no longer, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live too. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you. 21 The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”
