A Failure To Embrace The Work Of The Holy Spirit!

God is sending His judgment upon mankind because of rebellion against the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to convince man of his sin, initiate repentance and lead into His truth. John 16:8, “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”

The Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit is the sustaining force within each believer. He will lead and guide us into the Truth of God's Word. However, there are many voices claiming to speak for God. It is paramount that we learn to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit and separate from the seducing spirits of this world. Although God uses human vessels to share His message, we must know God in an intimate relationship so He can speak directly to us. Then, what He is telling us will be confirmed by what He is telling other believers. In the multitude of counselors, there is safety! (Proverbs 11:14). The Holy Spirit and the Word will teach us the Truth. The Holy Ghost will help us to understand the events we are seeing take place every day and equate those events with the season we are living in. When we read God's warning in His Word and see the events around us lining up with prophetic events in the Word, we must conclude that we are living in the End Times.

We must recognize the element of revelation in our relationship with God. Recognize is “to know and remember because of previous knowledge or experience.” Our previous experience and knowledge will cause us to know and remember what God has spoken to us. Remember that “Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart,” while the rest of society just “wondered at those things which were told them,” Luke 2:18-19. Pondering is in the heart where wonder is in the mind. There are so many in the church world who have a religious experience in their minds, where they need a revelation in their hearts. Our future and our survival will depend on the revelation of God's plan in our hearts! Not only will we experience competing doctrines but Satan is unleashing all hell against the Truth. When you live Truth, the enemy will come after you. Only through Divine revelation can we know the TRUTH and remain FREE.
