Getting Downright Serious

[Gibs]

There is different verses in the Holy Word we need to take far more serious than we do.

The one to think on here will have a few more to set up context and we need to ask a big question and that is Why?

The Why a little later,

Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Joh 14:18 ¶ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Now those verses are a promise and some think for the disciples. Well, not true, He states, "I am with you always even unto the end of the world!"

He then is the Comforter, He then is the Spirit of Truth!

Now for the Why? First, I will restate the first verse posted but with emphasis on the point we should see.

Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into "ALL" truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

The Why is if we "ALL" are guided into "ALL" truth why are we not of one accord as on the day of Pentecost?

The answer is obvious, we are not "ALL" of His Spirit of Truth!

Yes that is serious and what can we do about it.

Let's find some ideas from among us, how can we come closer and be of one accord again?

Is not another day of one accord at the doors now and appears beginning?

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1Jo 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

1Jo 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

[Gerr]

You don't listen to me because you think you're right, and I don't listen to you because I think you're wrong. So where does that leave us?

[Gibs]

Do you agree Gerry that the latter rain will again bring ALL His True children into one accord who have been guided into ALL Truth?

I'm sure you do and I see signs that it is beginning to fall on some out around me.

Totally given to Him I believe each must be to receive it.

"Before the final visitation of God's judgments upon the earth there will be among the people of the Lord such a revival of primitive godliness as has not been witnessed since apostolic times. The Spirit and power of God will be poured out upon His children.--GC 464 (1911). {LDE 186.2}

The straight testimony of the True witness has been going on now for quite a few yrs. and is doing it's work. Yes it is causing a real shaking and must.

I'm sure of this one thing. That is, the receptors of the latter rain will ALL have received of His Spirit of Truth into ALL Truth.

Yes for sure to bring all into one accord.

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1Jo 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

1Jo 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
