“Come thou Spirit of Truth and abide with us,
Spread your Light with clearness, banish deception and pretence,
Pour out of your Holy Fire, stir our Hearts and Lips to speak,
That all who are True, will learn to know the Lord.”
In the first Letter of Apostle John (1 John 4:1-2) we read “Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world, hereby know ye the Spirit of God! Every Spirit
that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God”, We should be advised to take note of what the Holy Ghost
is telling us. In the same letter the Apostle is reminding us in verse 2, “It is for us the truth that we hold firm to: but that
alone is not sufficient”.
God’s Spirit will not take from us the understanding or truth to mediate, but will cause us to penetrate, make and fashion,
yes, through the efficiency of the spirit to live in this great power, Rom. 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the Sons of God”, We must not be satisfied with reading the text, we should apply our mind to that which is
written above, ·0 come thou Spirit of Truth etc.” and we should pray and plead that this should happen. If we have not the
Word of Jesus in us, do we believe that the Spirit of Truth is in us? And that it can make us free? Free from errors, from
self-complacency, from torment and fear, being crushed! The Holy Spirit enabled the Apostle to speak out and to perceive
what had to be done by the Spirit and then to perform it. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature for he has the
stamp of the Holy Ghost and he can either do or leave.”
Eph 4:22-24 “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts: and be renewed in the spirit of your mind: and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.” Here the Apostle Paul is giving us concrete wisdom in reminding us of what we should
do in Christ. Grieve not the Holy Ghost.
“Pour out of your Holy Fire, stir our Hearts and Lips to speak.” The Holy Fire can be pictured as the Holy Ghost in which
is great power just like a natural fire having power, separating the high minded from the humble (spiritual) so that with
heart and lips the word of God through the fire of the Holy Ghost can be spoken with clearness. Those who are worldly
minded cut themselves off from the Holy Spirit, and he is not in the heart of those who sleep. Holy Ghost open up our
hearts door, open the eyes and let us see who is the author and finisher of our Faith. (John 16:14) “He shall glorify me: for
he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it into you’. It is the Holy Ghost which reminds us that Jesus Christ was born in
the flesh. Jesus Christ means to us the Grace of God revealed and is very precious and helps us in our weaknesses. A life
lived under the power of the Holy Ghost is Holy and brings forth the fruits of the Spirit. It was a testimony of the early
Christians that they stayed firm in the Apostle teaching, in the breaking of bread etc. It is a remarkable fact that people are
near one another, against one another, but not with one another. Therein lies great danger when we pledge ourselves to
that which is false. Jesus said that we should carry one another’s burdens but also remain unnoticed. When the works of
our life do not conform to what the Holy Ghost teaches then our sin is as it were doubled. Where man stands as an
example he receives the strength and the life of the Holy Ghost. Greater can we be if we through the power of the Holy
Ghost, testify of the name of Christ (2 Tim 1:7) “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love,
and of a sound mind”. What is made known in God’s promises that He will fulfill. The Holy Bible teaches us – no yet – but
in My time says the Lord. When we speak of the future revealed in the Holy Bible, the contents will be fulfilled, in what
era, the Lord knows, and we look forward to God’s Kingdom.
A Warning: Do not believe in all the spirits; it has been revealed in our time that false prophets have gone out into the
world. Let us pray that the work of the Holy Ghost does not come to a standstill.
