“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. “. John 16:13

When Jesus was trying to tell his apostles of what was coming and his death they couldn’t understand why he couldn’t stop what was coming. There couldn’t possibly be a good reason for him to die. He was their very best friend and their teacher and they couldn’t imagine life without him. He was supposed to do so much more, he was only 33. Nobody likes to think about someone they love dying. He tried to tell them they would be better off if he left but to them nothing could be better than Jesus. So it all happened so suddenly and they were in denial and thinking this couldn’t be happening. Jesus would make a way. But his death opened right before their eyes and they were scared and upset. But Jesus knows things that we don’t. He always knows what is best and it doesn’t always make sense to our feeble minds. We know In hindsight that his crucifiction was so worth everything. Not for Jesus to go through, but for our sins to be paid in full. Now if we had a best friend with cancer or a parent with Alzheimer’s we would pray every day for a miracle and wouldn’t accept that they could die but I know before my parents died they looked forward to being home in heaven. If someone knows where they are going if they die and are a Christian they can’t help but get excited. I remember my father trying to explain to me how exciting it was when he received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. I didn’t even know what he meant back then but there is so much power. You can’t understand without experiencing it yourself. Just remember the difference the Spirit made when it fell upon the apostles in the upper room. It was like night and day. They became wise and powerful, doing things that Jesus was able to do. They were brave and powerful and able to start the first church.You have so much wisdom and authority. You can pray bold prayers. And stand up to Satan, telling him he has to leave you alone. The spirit tells you things that Jesus or God would tell you. He can also tell you things that will happen in the future The anointing of God can come upon you to say and do things you wouldn’t be able to do on your own. Being lead by the Spirit can be the most exciting experience. I know my life skyrocketed when I received the baptism in the Holy Spirit It doesn’t necessarily come all at once but slowly growing more and more powerful.
