LISTEN TO GOD! Jesus says, “WHEN … THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH … COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH ... FOR HE WILL NOT SPEAK HIS OWN MESSAGE …; BUT HE WILL TELL WHATEVER HE HEARS [FROM THE FATHER; HE WILL GIVE THE MESSAGE THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO HIM]” JN 16:13 (AMP). Many have made up teachings about God’s spirit similar to the teaching about Jesus who said, “I AM GOD’S SON” [Jn 10:36 NI] claiming that Jesus is lying and He is really God pretending to be Jesus.  When people made up a teaching that the Holy Spirit is really God, their confusion may be more understandable as Jesus tells the Holy Spirit “WILL NOT SPEAK ON HIS OWN; HE WILL SPEAK ONLY WHAT HE HEARS” [Jn 16:13 NI] from God. Unlike Jesus who chooses to say what God tells Him to “SAY” [Jn 12:49], apparently God’s spirit has no choice to speak on his own. As we are created in God’s image we have a free choice to say what we want to say, so be encouraged to listen to God all the time so we can be like our role model Jesus and be able to say God told us what to “SAY” [Jn 12:49] and what to “DO” [Jn 14:31]! Do you follow God’s guidance?
