He Guides Us Into All Truth, January 23
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.
John 16:13
.
Every servant of God is to be guided by the Holy Spirit. It is not in
man that walketh to direct his steps. Our path, however rugged it may be,
is marked out for us by the Lord; and in it we must walk
Christ has made provision that His church shall be a transformed body,
illumined with the light of heaven, possessing the glory of Immanuel. It
is His purpose that every Christian shall be surrounded with a spiritual
atmosphere of light and peace. There is no limit to the usefulness of the
one who, putting self aside, makes room for the working of the Holy Spirit
upon his heart and lives a life wholly consecrated to God....
To us today, as verily as to the first disciples, the promise of the Spirit
belongs. God will today endow men and women with power from above,
as He endowed those who on the Day of Pentecost heard the word of
salvation. At this very hour His Spirit and His grace are for all who need
them and will take Him at His word
Teach your children that it is their privilege to receive every day the
baptism of the Holy Spirit
Those who are under the influence of the Spirit of God will not be
fanatical, but calm and steadfast, free from extravagance in thought, word,
or deed. Amid the confusion of delusive doctrines, the Spirit of God will
be a guide and a shield to those who have not resisted the evidences of
truth, silencing every other voice but that which comes from Him who is
the truth
A holy influence is to go forth to the world from those who are sanc-
tified through the truth.... The Holy Spirit is to work on human hearts,
taking the things of God and showing them to men
