WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

 

John 14:25-26

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

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.

 

Since Jesus went back to His Father, believers have been given the indwelling Holy Spirit, also known as the Comforter. Among His many duties is the personal care of Christians. If you have ever wondered to yourself “where did THAT come from?” then you probably have experienced the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life. What are some of the evidence of the Holy Spirit working in the Christian?

 

 

1. WHEN YOU HAVE PEACE IN THE MIDST OF GRIEF!

 

 

John 14:27

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

When the tears begin to dry and your soul begins to calm; when all around you there is no discernible reason to be at peace; that’s when you say to yourself: “Where did THAT come from?”

 

 

2. WHEN YOU HAVE JOY IN THE MIDST OF TRIAL!

 

 

Hab 3:17-18

17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

 

When a song begins in your heart and continues through the clamor; when your soul begins to celebrate in the midst of crushing defeat; that’s when you say to yourself: “Where did THAT come from?”

 

 

3. WHEN YOU FIND WISDOM THAT CAN’T BE YOUR OWN!

 

 

Luke 12:11-12

11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

 

When your counsel to others is full of wisdom beyond your years or training; when the choices you make are beyond your level of maturity; when you find yourself the leader when you would rather follow; that’s when you say to yourself: “Where did THAT come from?”

 

God of wisdom and comfort, thank you for the companionship of your own Holy Spirit. AMEN
