THE TEACHER INSIDE OF US

By John Ollis

Just over a month ago I wrote a blog entitled entitled “How is your conscience”? That something on the inside that seeks to help us in our decision making to recognise what is right and what is wrong.

Every human being is born with a conscience and this is the only thing that seems to be operating in the human spirit until we are born again and the Holy Spirit enters our life (and we are changed forever). As a result of the Spirit’s entrance into our life two things become obvious to us.

Firstly, we can now have COMMUNION WITH GOD, and develop an intimacy with the Lord, secondly there is what is called INTUITION we now have a tutor on the inside, the blessed Holy Spirit who wants to as Jesus declares in John 16:13-14 NKJV When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

We have our own personal TEACHER who wants to lead us into truth and revelation. We must become people of the Word spending quality time reading and meditating on the Word, and asking the Holy Spirit to teach us.

Our Pastor is doing a series on John’s epistles, and yesterday the portion was from John 2, which included verses 2 :20 PASSION But the Holy One has anointed you and you all know the truth, verse 27 PASSION His anointing teaches you all that you need to know, for it will lead you into truth,

So, let us co-operate with the TEACHER on the inside and have “ears to hear, and hearts to respond” to what he wants us to know.

We also thank God for the Teachers the Lord has placed in the Body of Christ who God uses to help us understand the truths of God’s Word, remember though, we don’t just need information WE NEED REVELATION. amen.
