We Have The Holy Spirit Who Empowers Us To Understand

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit is good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil of his treasure bringeth forth evil things.” Matthew 12:33-35

Remember this fact, we did not write the Truth’s that we have studied together so far. It was God Who wrote each and every one of them. And God wrote them in such a way that it would take faith Authored and Finished by Jesus to hear and to accept them. "And the disciples came and said unto Him, why speakest Thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath." Matthew 13:10-12 What Jesus is saying here is that since we are truly saved we have been given the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost will give us all of the needed understanding to accept God’s Truths and through Christ we shall grow in all of them. And because of the power given to us by God, we now have His Word in abundance in our hearts! And for those who are not saved, even though they hear the Truth, they will not understand it or be empowered by God to accept it. Remember in John 14:26, that Jesus said that He was sending the Holy Ghost to act on His behalf. The Disciples had Jesus right there with them, and we now have the Holy Ghost right here living permanently within us. Which according to Jesus is a great and powerful thing, a thing to be desired and cherished! "However, I am telling you nothing but the Truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come unto you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]." John 16:7 Amplified
