John 16:13
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all
the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he
will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
When we receive Jesus Christ as Our Savior, we are indwelled
by His Holy Spirit. As the Holy Spirit
fulfills His calling to glorify Jesus, He declares the things that are to come
into our lives through our relationship with Jesus. Thus, we enter into a new phase of our lives. We move from whatever natural level of piety,
prayer and devotion that we might have had into a new supernatural level of
devotion. We enter into a personal,
passionate relationship with Jesus.
Simultaneously, we begin to undergo the sanctification process. From that first moment of accepting Jesus and
until our death, the Holy Spirit is shaping us into the person that God created
us to be. As we go through the
sanctification process, we go through a supernatural transformation. As we respond to the urgings of the Holy
Spirit, our spiritual faculty is quickened so that we may understand and
respond to unfathomed treasures that are in Jesus Christ.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the Holy Spirit who
reveals to us the treasures that are ours through Your Son, Jesus. We rejoice as the Holy Spirit leads us to
Jesus to lean on Him for every good thing through time and for all eternity. We pray, Lord, that we may join the Holy Spirit
as He glorifies the name of Our Savior.
May our work be derived from our devotion to Your Son. May those around us know us by our calling
and may they be called in the same manner. We ask all these things in the name of Our Lord and Our Sanctifier, Jesus Christ.
