======================================================================== THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING! by David Wilkerson ======================================================================== Summary: The Holy Spirit's primary mission is to bring us home as a prepared bride, making us more suitable for Christ through the manifestation of Jesus and the revelation of truth. Topics: "Holy Spirit", "Preparation for Christ" Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 6:19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Wilkerson emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's work in our lives is purposeful and focused on preparing us as a bride for Christ. He explains that the Holy Spirit is not merely a helper for life's challenges but is actively guiding us towards a deeper relationship with Jesus. Every act of the Holy Spirit is aimed at revealing truth and breaking the bonds of sin, leading us to a passionate love for Christ. The ultimate goal is to present us as spotless and ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb. The Holy Spirit's mission is to manifest Jesus to the church, fostering a love that sustains us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Holy Spirit does not perform his work in us in some disjointed, haphazard way. He doesn't exist to simply help us cope with life, to get us through crises and to see us through lonely nights. He isn't there just to pick us up and pump in a little more strength before putting us back into the race. Everything the Holy Ghost does is related to his reason for coming--to bring us home as a prepared bride. He acts only in keeping with that mission! Yes, he is our Guide, our Comforter, our Strength in time of need. But he uses every act of deliverance--every manifestation of himself in us--to make us more suitable as a bride. Neither is the Holy Ghost here to just give gifts to the world. No, his every gift has a purpose behind it. The Holy Spirit has only one message: everything he teaches leads to one, central truth. He may shine in us like a many-splendored jewel, but every ray of truth is meant to bring us to a single truth, and it is this: "You are not your own--you have been bought with a price. You have been chosen to be espoused to Christ. And the Spirit of God has been sent to reveal to you the truth that will set you free from all other loves. Truth will break every bondage to sin and deal with all unbelief. For you are not of this world; you are headed for a glorious meeting with your espoused and are being readied for his marriage supper. All things are now ready and I am preparing you! I want to present you spotless, with a passionate love in your heart for him." That's the work of the Holy Spirit--to manifest Jesus to the church, so that we will fall in love with him. And that love will keep us! ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/david-wilkerson/the-holy-spirit-knows-what-he-is-doing/ ========================================================================
