Paul Email -20Sept2013- John 16 (Take Heart)

How you doin? We're still transitioning into home schooling. It's going better then expected, but still not without it's bumps and lumps. Most of you will be surprised to hear that the issues are mainly with me. The Holy Ghost will teach me. Please pray for me to remain in Him. John 16 today.
I love learning about the Holy Ghost. I love the Holy Ghost. John 16:12-15, inspires me to receive the gift of and seek the awareness of the Holy Ghost. I believe that 100% of Jesus is in me. The Spirit of truth and revelation reveals Him in me. 16:13, "...he will guide you into all the truth."  I've learned to rely on the Holy Ghost to guide me into all truths. The counterfeit can look really close to the real thing. Sadly enough I'm familiar with the counterfeit, which forces me to depend on the Holy Ghost. SAY WORD!!!!!!! God turns bad to good. 16:15, "...the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you". COME ON!!!!!!! The Spirit of truth will make Jesus known in me. I receive that word. I want to know the fullness of Jesus that lives in me. AWESOME!!!!!!!
There's some identity in here as well. 16:26, "In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf." These next few verses are under the heading, "Jesus Teaches about Using His Name in Prayer".  16:27, "No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God." Jesus' acts on the cross reconciled us to the Father. We can have an intimate relationship with Him through His Word and prayer. COME ON!!!!!!! I am a son of the Most High. WOW!!!!!!! The disciple respond much better then we've seen the Pharisees respond. 16:30, "... This makes us believe that you came from God." That's a good word. There's something to learn from the responses we read about in the Bible.
The last verse in John 16 takes the cake. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (16:33) Take heart! I love this verse. The Holy Ghost guides us into all truth. The truth is that Jesus reconciled us to the Father. Jesus tells us to "take heart! I have overcome the world". We have peace in Him. We have victory in Him. COME ON!!!!!!! Receive peace and take heart today.
PS Here's Hillsong United's song "Take Heart". This is one of my favorites. I can't wait for the Hillsong Conference coming up 10/5 and 10/6. God always does something at these conferences.
