Jesus And The Holy Spirit

“Feed my sheep."

JOHN 21:17 

The call for all creation is to do the Lords will. As humans - we are created - given life through and from God. The quest for all who seek Jesus is love and eternal life. For this, the Lord calls you to "feed my sheep."

To choose his advocate to fulfill his will, it is our job to be powered by the Holy Spirit to be a light for Jesus until he comes. In us - he lives. He will live completely in you - giving you all that he has testified about - Jesus is truth - Jesus is the only way - everything else is fleeting, fading and meaningless.

The Holy Spirit is the Lord's advocate - our helper and mighty counselor that comes from King Jesus. He sends his Holy Spirit to all those that accept him as Lord and Savior - ask for forgiveness in his Holy name and are baptized by water in the name of the Father - the Son - and the Holy Spirit - and then are obedient to him and his will. You see - the Holy Spirit is the Lord's advocate for us to be able to do his will.

We - as humans cannot do the will of King Jesus without the Holy Spirit inside of us. It is the power of the Holy Spirit of King Jesus that allows us to do the Lord's will. There is no human substitute or set of criteria that will suffice in lieu of the Holy Spirit. 

“If you love me, you will obey my commandments. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever. That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn’t see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you." John 14:15-17

“I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you. Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father’s love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them.” John 14:18-21

"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me." John 16:7-9

Convicted By Jesus

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep."

JOHN 21:17 

The true nature in getting to know Jesus is that he lives in you. It is always revelation to realize the internal presence of the Lord. Therefore, to be rightly related to him - you notice how much you do without him. Realizing you spend your time with yourself - seeking human knowledge - failing knowledge.

In this truth - sadness can fill you as you realize the presence of the Lord within - but you choose yourself over him in who lives. Allow yourself to be removed so that the complete spirit of Christ Jesus may dwell in you such that he will live through you. 

The Lord will press you on a matter to choose him and his way or yourself and the way of the world. Be willing to be hurt by Jesus to be molded and dependent on only doing his will. He can and will use your body to do his will if you are willing to set yourself aside and take up his cross. The Lord must open you up to your selfish nature if you are going to be removed from doing your own will intentionally and follow him.

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. - Philippians 2:3-4

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. - James 3:16

He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. - 2 Corinthians 5:15

Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. - Romans 13:8

Do You Love Jesus?

 Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?

JOHN 21:17

The point of the internal hurt felt with the revelation of the Lord is to rightly be molded and broken into his vision. It is through revelation - the Lords will is revealed to you. In this - a moment of pain or sadness to your old self is manifested at how you have always thought of yourself - without first thinking of Christ in you.

There is no true love except that which is given by and for Jesus Christ - everything else is self-serving or self-boasting. To love for the Lord is too be unabashed - unrelenting - and rightly related to the Spirit of the most high God in the name of Jesus Christ.

Sin blunts pain as you distance yourself from the Lord. Pain comes along the line of conviction and awareness to sin. The more a person sins - the less they care because they become numb to the truth which brings forth the pain of what you have done. The Lord ask that you sin no more and come unto him as he is the answer to sin. 

If you love Jesus - you will sin no more. If you love Jesus - you will endure personal pain to be molded by him. If you love Jesus - you will love your neighbor. If you love Jesus - you will become broken bread and poured out wine for those in which the Lord leads to you. If you love Jesus - you will do what he asks of you.
