SECRETS OF THE SPIRIT (The Upper Room Talk) P2
Instruction (Teaching)
Closer than ever before you say? Yes, that’s right, you will never see Jesus more perfectly than through the indwelling, ever-active presence of the Holy Spirit. This is true, but it is also true that you will begin to hear His voice with greater clarity and His words will begin to make absolute sense to you as you learn them through the Spirit’s role in you as your personal tutor.
The Big Idea: The Holy Spirit of God INDWELLS every Christian believer for the purpose of TEACHING them heaven’s truth about Jesus and about their lives in Him (I Cor 2:10b-13).
(Talk outlines in English and Spanish are in the Sermon Notes above.)
Readings from John 14:
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.
25 “I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.
27 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful. 28 You have heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens so that when it does happen you may believe. 30 I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over Me. 31 On the contrary, I am going away so that the world may know that I love the Father. Just as the Father commanded Me, so I do.
“Get up; let’s leave this place.
