Mark 13:31
John 14:26
26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
My brothers and sisters in Jesus,
When analyzing this verse or any part of The Bible, you want to know who is talking to whom originally and then how GOD applies it to you in Jesus' name. And such is the case of John 14:28 given above. We have here Jesus telling his twelve disciples, future apostles that the HOLY SPIRIT will guide them into all truth. They are of Judah where soon the torch of GOD will pass to Paul The Apostle and then to the gentiles and thus establishing churches. It is in the setting of churches that are living stones, YOU, THE BODY OF CHRIST JESUS. It is then that proper receiving of John 14:28 is established because Paul is The Apostle To The Gentile Churches, but to the Jew First and also to The Greek. It is very wise that before you go to other prophets, apostles, etc., make sure you are very grounded in Paul's teachings in scriptures as well as discovering GOD's will daily in Jesus' name. You will be able to do GOD's will much better if you heed this advice.
It has been established even in conservative, evangelical seminaries the assumption that John 14:28 does not applied to all believers, but only prophets and apostles. Here is a premise by way of grammar structure of scripture why this is so:
1 Corinthians 2:10-13 (King James Version)
10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1 Corinthians 3:22 (King James Version)
22Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
Now note the "we" in 1 Corinthians 2:12 is in first person form meaning that the speaker is that of Paul and those with him which is very true have received things taught or spoken not by man but by THE HOLY SPIRIT, but as for those hearing Paul not so. These teachers base such assumptions because the "yours" in 2 Corinthians 3:22 is second person plural representing or representative of the audience receiving Paul, the speaker's message.
Now I dissent from such approaches and assumptions because first of all Paul and those accompanying him are not just mere men, but Holy men of GOD.
1 Thessalonians 4:9
9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
Further, Paul was not there when Jesus addressed the disciples in John 14:28. However direct contact with Jesus by Road of Damascus qualifies Paul an exception to the rule so he fits or is allowed to be associated or incorporated or applied to John 14:28. Nevertheless, I do not see repentance, change by The Holy Spirit until contact was made with Barnabus for scripture in the last part of Romans 10:14 has to occur:
"...how shall they hear without a preacher?"
And further for the disciples of Jesus, we have Jesus preaching in John 14:28 and as the source for THE PREACHER OF PREACHERS Jesus, who is GOD and LORD but assumed in humbleness a man, but without sin proclaimed. John 14:28 supports Romans 10:14 requirements.
Romans 2:14 (King James Version)
14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Now in Romans 2:14-15 leads us to the assumption that John 14:28 does or can apply to all believers without written papyrus or scripture that is if one asks GOD's will daily in Jesus' name and thus never violate Paul's litmus testing of The Holy Spirit in a believer according to 1 Corinthians 14:37, but one wishes to make sure that Paul's methodology sent by Jesus is not compromised by a person who claims a Romans 2:14-15 nature with 1 Corinthians 14:37 preventing confusion. Therefore, scripture clearly establishes the torched passed from Judah to Gentiles without confusion or distortion so Paul could be established The Apostle of The Gentiles and made such so the gospel of 1Corinthians 15:1-4 is never tampered, altered, defamed or distorted in any manner for it is by grace Paul is who he is, The Apostle to Gentiles.
1 Corinthians 14:37 (King James Version)
37If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15
1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Now see here, if you use this scripture immediately above this statement, 1 Corinthians 14:37 to challenge and ask GOD's will in Jesus' name, "better eat your Wheaties." If something is added to the gospel, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is why Paul administers 1 Corinthians 14:37, the avoidance of another gospel, a gospel that is not gospel.
Know this that when you ask GOD in Jesus name regarding anything if you have asked GOD to forgive your sins in Jesus' name, GOD will lead to either scriptures or someone or situation that you "dropped the ball," blew it, made an error or mistake. Is not that cool?
1 Thessalonians 3:6
6But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
I would say most definitely that "remembrance of us always" refers to 1 Corinthians 14:3.
1 Thessalonians 3:12
12And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
THIS SCRIPTURE IS MOST EXCELLENT AND IF YOU HAVE A BIBLE ENDULGE! BUT HOWEVER, FOR YOU WHO HAVE BEEN PROHIBITTED BY GOVERNMENTS AND RELIGIONS OF THE DEVIL BUT PROCLAIMED BY A BELIEVER IN PREACHING FORM THE TRUE GOSPEL OF 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 BE ENCOURAGE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT BARRED FROM SPIRITUAL MATURITY FOR IF YOU ASK GOD'S WILL IN JESUS' NAME, YOU ARE EQUIPED, READY TO GIVE AN ANSWER OF THE HOPE, THE GOSPEL AS DESCRIBED IN SCRIPTURES, THEN YOU ARE READY TO GIVE AN ANSWER AND ARE A WORKER THAT NEED NOT BE ASHAMED! THE POTENTIAL OF HOLINESS, MATURITY INDEED, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH YOU!
Galatians 1:11-12 (King James Version)
11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
NOW I COMMENT ON THIS VERY CAREFULLY. VERY CAREFULLY AND LET IT BE KNOWN AS I INDICATED EARLIER PAUL EXPERIENCED A REVELATION FROM THE CLOUDS JESUS CHRIST ON THE ROAD TO DEMASCUS. THIS CANNOT BE DENINED BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THUS IT IS ATTRACTIVE ASSUMING THE PASSAGE GALATION 1:11-12 IS THE ROAD TO DEMASCUS EXPERIENCE. THE ROAD TO DEMASCUS IS ONE ELEMENT OF THE PROCESS HOW PAUL RECEIVED JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
Galatians 1:11-12 (King James Version)
11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
HOWEVER, YOU WERE CONVICTED WITH A ROAD OF DAMASCUS TOO BY THE HOLY SPIRIT EXPRESSING THE CONVICTION FROM JESUS FOR YOU AND THEN LIKE PAUL THROUGH A BARNABAS PRAYER, ASKING GOD TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND THEN THE REPENTANCE OCCURS, THE CHANGE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IS BORN IN YOUR BODY THEREBY ESTABLISHING THE TEMPLE GOD DWELLING IN YOU AND FOR ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST FOR THEIR JOURNEY OF HOLINESS OR DISCIPLESHIP OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAN GOD WANTED MAN TO BE IN THE FIRST PLACE! THUS, JESUS, THE SECOND ADAM, THE ADAM WAS SUPPOSE TO BE! BUT NOTE OH BELIEVER IN CHRIST, THE EXPOSURE OF PAUL'S EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT SO AS TO HAVE A CLEAR CONTINUANCE, A CLEAR ESTABLISHMENT OF PAUL BY JESUS' CHOICE, APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES. PAUL NEVER WANTED YOU TO SEGRAGATE OR ELEVATE HIS EXPERIENCE APART FROM YOURS AND HIS MESSENGER OF SATAN MADE SURE OF THAT THINKING HE WOULD HURT PAUL BUT YET FULFILLED INSTEAD GOD'S WILL FOR PAUL AND WE WHO ARE IN JESUS:
2 Corinthians 12:6-8 (King James Version) 6For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
NOW PETER WAS THE CHIEF OPPOSITION TO GENTILES COMING IN TO THE FOLD OF GRACE BY FAITH BECAUSE PETER WAS THE APOSTLE OF CIRCUMCISION AND THUS GENTILES LIKE THE BEREANS GOT TANGLE UP BUT TRANSFORMED AT THE ENCOUNTER OF PAUL. THE CIRCUMCISION JEWISHNESS BECAME INWARD AND EVEN PETER, APOSTLE TO THE CIRCUMCIZED OUTWARDLY IS CONFRONTED BY APOSTLE PAUL, THE APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES, THE UNCIRCUMCIZED OUTWARDLY BUT INWARDLY CIRCUMCIZED INDEED! :
Acts 17:9-11 (King James Version) 9And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go. 10And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica [OH THESE FOLKS BECOME VERY LOYAL TO PAUL!], in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Galatians 2
1Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. 2And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. 3But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 4And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. 6But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: 7But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 8(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 9And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. 10Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. 11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. 14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 15We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. 18For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Titus 1:10 (King James Version) 10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
NOW TIMOTHY WAS CIRCUMCIZED AND ENCOURAGED TO CAPTURE ALL SCRIPTURE FOR MATURITY. THUS, TIMOTHY CAPTURED THE MINDS OF THOSE BELIEVERS IN JESUS WHO ENCORAGED THE REQUIREMENT OF OUTWARD CIRCUMCISION TO CONSIDER THAT UNCIRCUMCIZED GENTILE BELIEVERS IN JESUS HAD THE TRUE CIRCUMCISION INWARD BY FAITH IN THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS, WHO JESUS GAVE PAUL AS THEIR APOSTLE. PROBABLY IT WAS TIMOTHY THAT BROUGHT PAUL REBUKING THE APOSTLE OF THE CIRCUMCIZED, THE APOSTLE PETER. IN CONCLUSION OF TIMOTHY'S ROLE, IS TIMOTHY IN THE APOSTLESHIP OF PAUL TO THE GENTILES? YOU KNOW IN ORDER TO GET YOUR CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE AFTER RECEIVING SIX OR EIGHT INCHES OF LET'S SAY WET SNOW. IT'S EITHER HUMAN OR TRUCK SHOVELING. YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PATH TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE. LIKEWISE, BY APPLYING 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 BECAUSE TIMOTHY'S ROOTS WERE DEEP AS A CHILD IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT PAUL PROCLAIMS IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:15 COMBING WITH ALL SCRIPTURES OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:16. NOW TITUS, THE GENTILE UNCIRCUMSIZED OUTWARD BUT INWARDLY WHEREBY LAW COMES FROM THE HEART CLEARLY CAN ESTABLISH THE FOLLOWING DECLARATION TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: PAUL, THE APOSTLE OF THE GENTILES!
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (King James Version) 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
I WILL SHOW IN ANOTHER BLOG WRITING THAT ALL SCRIPTURE IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:16 IS BOTH OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT.
SO THEN THE FOLLOWING IS SO TRUE OF PAUL:
Ephesians 3
1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
1 Timothy 4
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
NOW THERE ARE MANY CHRISTIAN LEADERS WHO DOGMATICALLY ASSUME AND DECLARE BY WAY OF RADIO AND TV THAT THE ONLY WAY TO BE MATURE IS TO STUDY SCRIPTURES DILLIGENTLY DAILY. AND WHAT OF THOSE IN COUNTRIES WHO ARE PROHIBTTED BIBLE BUT HAVE ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE THEIR SINS IN JESUS' NAME? HMMM? THEY NEVER WHILE HAVING NO BIBLE NEVER CAN MATURE AND YET HAVE ESTABLISHED THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF THEIR FAITH, JESUS BY WAY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THEIR TEMPLE, THEIR BODY WHERE GOD DWELLS? NONSENSE! IF SUCH A BELIEVER ASKS GOD'S WILL DAILY IN JESUS' NAME, MATURITY AND DISCIPLESHIP FROM THE HEART INDEED BY FAITH!
NOW I WISH NOT TO DISCOURAGE PERSONAL CONVICTION OF ONE WHO FEELS THEIR SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS BY THE BIBLE FOR IT WOULD BE SIN TO ASSUME OTHERWISE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY MUST NOT ASSUME THIS PERSONAL CONVICTION OF MATURITY OF THE BIBLE AS THE ONLY WAY ON OTHERS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO CANNOT OBTAIN A BIBLE!
I DO NOT KNOW WHERE ASKING GOD'S WILL IN JESUS' NAME IS GOING TO LEAD ME. SOMETIMES THE BIBLE AND SOMETIMES NOT, BUT BY FAITH I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE LED ASTRAY.
SO AM I OF APOLLOS, PAUL, OR PETER? HMMM? SOME OR MANY WOULD LOVE TO CATORGORIZE ME LIKE THIS THUS CAUSING CONFUSSION. NO, IT IS TO ESTABLISH THE TORCH PASSED FROM JUDAH TO THE NATIONS, THE GENTILE ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL IN JESUS' NAME.
John 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him [Him].
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him [Him] must worship him [Him] in spirit and in truth.
John 14:17
Even the [The] Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him [Him]; for he [He] dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:13
Howbeit when he [He], the[The] Spirit of truth, is come, he [He] will guide you into all truth: for he [He] shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he [He] shall hear, that shall he [He] speak: and he [He] will shew you things to come.
I DELIBERATELY PLACED THE ABOVE SCRIPTURES SO CONFUSSION WILL BE AVOIDED. The Spirit of truth AND spirit and in truth ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS, NOT BOTH THE HOLY SPIRIT. spirit and in truth is a result of obeying the[The] Spirit of truth [Truth]. This is spirit and in truth is very dangerous to assume that spirit is THE HOLY SPIRIT although it is joint relationship with THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO imparts THE WILL OF THE FATHER THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. AND, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ASSUME ALSO in truth AS REFERRING TO THE BIBLE ONLY ALTHOUGH IT IS INSPIRED AND GOD BREATHED BY HOWEVER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR IF ONE WHO IS PROHIBITED A BIBLE IN THEIR AREA AND EVEN NOT PROHIBITED A BIBLE IF THEY ASK GOD’S WILL IN JESUS’ NAME WILL MATURE IN sPIRIT AND IN tRUTH.
John 5:39 (King James Version)
39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me [JESUS].
IN CONCLUSION I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS:
Mark 13:31
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Amos 8:11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD [JESUS]:
