BLESSINGS FROM WISDOM

My Dear Precious Child,
     When Jesus Christ continued in His teachings about My Holy Spirit coming to live in the world inside of My Children of promise, He told His disciples that He was telling them His words of prophesy, wisdom, knowledge, understanding and insight so that they would not be caught unaware of the devil's works in the earth but also to alert them to My works in the earth so that they would look for them.  He didn't want His disciples to be deceived and fall away from the family.   He warned His followers that the religious and political leaders would put them out of the synagogues and think that they were doing Me great service by doing it.  He said that the reason that they actually would do it is because they didn't know Me or Him.  He reminded them that He was telling them things to come so that when they did come that they would be reminded that Jesus Christ had warned them about the very thing that was happening.
    He told the disciples that He did not tell them everything from the beginning because He was still with them.  He said that when He told them that He was going to be with the One who sent Him, none of them asked Him where He was going.  Sorrow had filled their hearts because they realized He would no longer be with them.  He assured them again that it was profitable for them that He was leaving them because if He did not leave them, the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, could not come to them.  He assured them that He could only send the  Holy Spirit if He went away.  He said that the Holy Spirit would be in close fellowship with them as their personal tutor. (John 16:6-7)
     Then Jesus Christ gave to His followers a peek into a few things that My Holy Spirit was going to teach them.  Number one, He said that My Spirit would teach them about sin, about  righteousness and about My judgment that was coming upon the demons in the earth.  He spoke even more about those subjects by saying that He would teach about sin because they did not believe in Him. (John 16:8-9)  Also Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would teach you about righteousness because He went to the Father and they would not see Him again.   He said that the Holy Spirit would teach them about judgment because Satan, the ruler of the world, was judged, condemned and sentenced already from the foundation of the world by Me. (John 16;10-11)  He also told His followers that there were many, many things that My Holy Spirit was going to teach them but they would not completely understand the things if He told them at that time.
    However, He told them that when My Holy Spirit came that He would teach them all truth, but He would not speak His own message or of His own authority, but when he taught them that He will only teach what He has heard from Me.  He assured them that My Spirit would tell them things that would come to pass and that He would teach them EVERYTHING THAT IS MINE, He would reveal them to everyone who seeks to know them.  He said that My Holy Spirit would take what is His and reveal or disclose it to them.  That is a big promise, that My Spirit will teach you everything about Me because you are My child  (verse 15)
   In order to comfort them, Jesus told His disciples and followers again that they would no longer see Him but then they would see Him again.  Some of the disciples were questioning what He was talking about, as if it was a puzzle.  They simply did not understand because His future was not understandable to the human mind, only to the spiritual mind.   They asked what He meant by a "little while"  because they didn't even understand what He meant by saying that He was going away and then coming back.  He told them again that in a little while they would not see Him, but then in a little more time they would see Him.  He said that at first they would be sorrowful, but then they would be joyful.  (John 16:16-20) 
    In order to help His followers to understand He related that truth to childbirth, saying that a woman delivers her child with much agony, but then she no longer remembers her pain because she is so glad that a baby has been born into the world.   He told them that at the present they were distressed and depressed about his leaving, but when He comes back their joy will return and it would be the kind of joy that no one could take from them. (verse 22)
     Then Jesus told them something in contrast to what they had done in the past.  He told them that when that time came, meaning the new covenant of the Holy Spirit, that they would no longer ask anything of Him, that they would ask only Me, the Father, and I would grant to them everything that they ask of Me in His name, meaning representing Him by their being born of My Holy Spirit and being called Christians.  He reiterated that before they had never asked Me for anything in His name, representing Him by their being born of My Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit had not been sent to them because Jesus had not died for the sins of the world.  Then He said that when My Holy Spirit came to live inside of them that they would ask and keep on asking and they WOULD RECEIVE so that their joy would be full and complete.   Still yet, in your world, many people pray and ask Jesus for things, not knowing the scriptures that Jesus told His disciples that they would ask Me because of My Holy Spirit living in them and they would be asking in His name.   He said that I would grant everything that they ask in His name so that their joy would be full.  (John 16:23-24)
    That is a promise out of the mouth of Jesus Christ, that what you ask Me in His name, yourself as a Christian because He was the Christ anointing by My Holy Spirit, that I would absolutely do it for you.  Like a good Father, My joy becomes full when I answer your prayers and you become joyful!!!
    John the disciple had received insights and understandings about My Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, because He was filled with My love and spiritual insight.  He referred to himself as the disciple that Jesus loved so much because of his own perception of Love and His perception of Jesus Christ as having been filled with My Love.  John wrote not to let your heart be troubled because He remembered Jesus telling the disciples not to be troubled and so John did not let his own heart become troubled because He knew the peace that Jesus Christ had passed on to him. (John 14:1; John 14:27)   Later when My Holy Spirit came to live inside of John, his love, his faith and his peace increased because He listened to the Holy Spirit's tutoring.  John always took My words delivered through Jesus Christ to heart because He knew they came from Me.
    Learn My words spoken to you through Jesus Christ and recorded by John.  He knew the ministry of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ and He knew the ministry of My Holy Spirit after My Spirit came to live inside of My children of promise.   Treasure his insights.
    Your Father of Revealed Truth
