SPIRITS OF GOD
The Lord Jesus announced
to his disciples (Both his original and his current -- including our
current generation, if we believe on His name) that he would send us
a comforter, a teacher. Jesus refers to this helper as the Spirit of
Truth. It is this spirit of wisdom, truth, and understanding who is
the voice of the witness, the Great Amen, the voice of the Good
Shepherd in John 10: v 4. "And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship," (-- Exodus 31:3)"And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;" ( -- Exodus 31:6)"And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses." (-- Deuteronomy 34:9)"And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;"(-- Isaiah 11:2)"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:" ( -- Ephesians 1:17)"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever;" ( -- John 14:16)"Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." (-- John 14:17)"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of me:" -- John 15:26 |
