Look at what we are shown here: we are blessed with every, not just some, but every spiritual blessing through the Holy Spirit.
But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. John 14:26
Jesus told us that
the Holy Spirit would teach us all things and cause us to remember everything
that He has said. So there is absolutely nothing that we can’t be shown by our
Father, not one thing. We now have the Mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16. Jesus
also told us that the Holy Spirit is our strength. So it doesn’t matter how
weak our flesh or spirits are, how sick we are, how oppressed we are, or how uneducated
we are, the Holy Spirit makes us as strong as everyone who is in the Heavenly
realm. Now think about that, everyone, and Jesus is in Heaven.
In this [union and
communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection
with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance
and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.
1 John 4:17
I hear all of the
time what our responsibilities are. That is not the way to look at things. The
Truth that sets us free is that is Jesus Who has been given all of the responsibility
to work through us. Without Jesus we can do nothing, John 15:5. Jesus isn’t our
co-pilot. He is our Head, the Great I Am, our Vine, our Potter, our Master, our
Shepherd, our Lord. He is never waiting on us to first do something so then He
can react to our actions. Jesus causes us to act and then He acts on what He
has done through us. If it were any other way we could not have peace that
passes all understanding, Philippians 4:7. If it were any other way we could
brag and boast of what we had accomplished, 1 Corinthians 1:29. We could also
condemn and there is no condemnation for us who are in Christ, Romans 8:1
