The Holy Spirit of Truth 

John.16.13 - However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

The place of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer is quite inevitable as we cannot withstand the powers and manipulation of the evil forces in the world on our own. He is the only antidote to the pervading menace of the lying spirit hovering over the present age. The presence of the Holy Spirit is as strong and available for as many who would ask the Father. Just as the last days are full of the deceiving spirits, so the Holy Spirit is very much here to fill the earth like the waters cover the sea.

The testimonies and unusual experience of the power of the Holy Spirit by some young believers at an Institution in Asbury a couple of years ago is a testament to the fact that the Holy Spirit is very much as active as ever. The power of God is still stronger and more effective than the power of the deceiving spirits. The devil only took one-third of the heavenly beings when he was shone the way out, which means God still has double of whatever spirit works in this world at our disposal. Many are ignorantly returning to idol worshipping, believing that the spirits of the gods of this world work faster than the Spirit of the Almighty. We are in a generation where idol worshipping is being revived among the youths. Many are back into barbaric practices and ritualism all because of money and fame. Many have turned to familiar spirits because of their challenges and problems. Whatever they seek there can be found and even more in Christ. 

I make bold to encourage everyone following this devotional that God is still the all powerful, all knowing, and the ever present help only if we believe in Him. His Holy Spirit is still available and works wonders among His people if only we can wait on Him like the old times. God is still searching for vessels sanctified to carry His Presence if only we can make ourselves available for His glory. The last days are not only for the deceiving spirits, the promised Holy Spirit of Truth is also present to see us through the last days and its challenges. For the sons and daughters to prophesy and see vision and the old men to dream dreams, He is the Spirit of Truth sent from God to teach and enable as many that will abide in Him. 

These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. 1 John.2.27

Prayers:

Lord, send Your Holy Spirit to manifest Your power in our generation like the days of the Apostles. If you need a vessel for Your manifestation, Lord use me. I ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
