THE WORKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

John 16:1-16

'ALL THIS I HAVE TOLD YOU

SO THAT YOU WILL NOT GO ASTRAY.

2 They will put you out of the Synagogue [Church];

IN FACT, A TIME IS COMING

WHEN ANYONE WHO KILLS YOU

WILL THINK HE IS OFFERING SERVICE TO GOD.

3 They will do such things

Because they have not known the Father or Me.

4 I have told you this,

SO THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES

YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT I WARNED YOU.

I did not tell you this at First because I was with you.

5 'Now I am going to Him Who sent Me,

Yet none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'

6 Because I have said these things, you are filled with Grief.

7 But I tell you the Truth:

IT IS GOOD FOR YOU THAT I AM GOING AWAY.

Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you;

But if I go, I will send Him to You.

8 When He comes,

HE WILL CONVICT THE WORLD OF GUILT

9 IN REGARD TO SIN,

Because men do not believe in Me;

10 In regard to Righteousness,

Because I am going to the Father,

Where you can see me no longer;

11 And in regard to Judgment,

BECAUSE THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD

NOW STANDS CONDEMNED.

12 'I have much more to say to you,

More than you can now bear.

13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth comes,

HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.

He will not speak on His own;

He will speak only what he hears,

AND HE WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS YET TO COME.

14 He will bring Glory to Me by taking from what is Mine

And making it known to you.

15 ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER IS MINE.

That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is Mine

And make it know to you.

16 In a little while you will see Me no more,

And then after a little while you will see me.'

(John 16:1-16)

Today, as America becomes more godless;

As the Word of God becomes Anathema to the Unbelieving,

One can see them Killing those who proclaim that Word.

It was necessary for Christ Jesus to return to Heaven,

So that the Holy Spirit could be given to His followers.

The Holy Spirit convicts the World of guilt,

In regard to their Sin of Unbelief.

When the Holy Spirit was given,

The Prince of this World, Satan, stood Condemned.

The Holy Spirit guides those who believe into All Truth.

All that belongs to the Father, belongs to Christ Jesus,

And Christ Jesus makes know to His followers,

All that belongs to Him.
