John 16:13 (AMP) But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
Everyone wants to know their future. But that is not always the case when it comes to Truth! It's really interesting to know that God is actually wanting to express His thoughts and directions for us. He's longing for an opportunity for us to stop, ...be still, and know that He is God. This is why we need the Holy Spirit in our lives! Without the Holy Spirit, I believe, it is near impossible to know or hear the voice of God because there is no forward motion in your relationship with Him. We often allow the voice of this world to drown out the Holy Spirits, making it impossible for you to know the directions of God. Galatians 5:16 says, "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." The word 'Walk', means "to be occupied with or engaged in." When we are fully engaged in what the Spirit wants, then we'll also be open to what the Spirit speaks. And what the Spirit speaks come directly from the mouth of God!
Help me, Lord, to humble myself to hearing the truth. For I know, the truth will set me free...and when I'm free from the lies and noise of this world, I can truly hear your voice and be obedient to Your call.
