Leaving off with yesterday’s devotional, This is the continuing thoughts.

If you use your heart as a library for His Word the Holy Spirit will use the Word to bring into your memory His primary role, to instruct you in the desires of your Lord. It is dependent on your part to read the Word and take it to heart. Make His Word the core of your relationship. It is God the Father speaking to you, through the Son, and the stirred memory by the Holy Spirit.

Consider His primary role to you in relationship to the Father and Son and do not ask of Him anything. Pray to the Father and the Father will give instruction to the Holy Spirit in how to enact His will for you.

John 16:8-13 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Look carefully what Christ is saying here. The Holy Spirit will take over the work that Jesus Christ began in His earthly ministry. Some of the things that Jesus said about Himself in relationship to the Father are being said now about the role of the Holy Spirit. One thing in particular stands out, and that is conviction of sin. It is Satan that is being judged. Nothing breaks the handcuffs of that liar better than the truth.

Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart [a new heart] and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God],

Are you sensitive to the touch of God? I am not talking about rational thought. I am speaking as it is referred to here, a loving relational awareness. In every case where God measures man, in a personal relationship, He does not look to our actions as much as to our heart condition. God knows that if He can foster a deep abiding love with us, in us, then what we do will reflect that loving relationship.

As Jesus promised, the Father has given of Himself in the 3^rd person, the Holy Spirit. He is God just as much as the Father and the Son. His personality does not differ as they are One. His role however differs because He is in close personal contact with us. As such, we need to be aware of that role and how He enacts the will of the Father.

John 15:26 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:

The Holy Spirit is the perfect essence of humility. He never talks about Himself and will only testify of Jesus Christ.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Psalm 119:11a,58a,161b Thy word have I hid in mine heart, I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
