STEP ONE
LET'S BECOME FRIENDS
Welcome!
Greetings ... You don't know Me, but I know you very well.
I am known as the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost, in the Bible.
I AM GOD'S SPIRIT
I was sent here by Jesus, for YOU.
|
John 16:7 |
I am the Spirit of Truth and was sent to share the TRUTH with you and show you what will be.
|
John 16:13 |
That's right ... You saw that Jesus called Me:
"He" and "Him"
That is because although I AM a Spirit or Ghost, I AM a person and I AM a distinct personality and yet I AM one of the Trinity:
|
1 John 5:7 |
WHO IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH BIBLE GIFT I've been waiting for just the right moment to introduce Myself to you, and the moment has arrived, IF you choose to give me a little of your time ... I am inviting you to take My hand and walk with Me for just a bit, and get to know Me. I would like for you to come visit me in My Spiritual realm. The Spiritual realm that I'm talking about is a mystery to most people ...
The TRUTH is that I live within you.
|
1 Corinthians 6:19 |
So, you want to know who is the Spirit of Truth? You will have to look within yourself, to find and hear me. If you open your mind and heart to Me, I will share TRUTH with you, and you will begin to understand the depths of the Word of God.I will show you who I AM, and how I work in your life, and how I can change and improve your life and strengthen the INNER child within you.
|
Ephesians 3:16 |
Why do I emphasize the word mystery, you may ask?
Because a mystery is a hidden TRUTH, and when you hear the word mystery, it evokes an exciting adventure that makes you want to investigate and search and research and get involved as to uncover all that there is to know about it!
There is one catch ...
Being that I am known as both the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost ...
I am INVISIBLE ...
|
Job 9:11 |
And that is what hinders most souls, when they try and relate to Me.
But, that is the way God chose it to be ...
|
Colossians 1:16 |
Though I am invisible to the physical eye for most, My presence can be felt and clearly seen with the discerning eye.
|
Romans 1:20 |
And IF you LISTEN ... My voice can be heard.

LET'S BEGIN ...
As a Christian, an important TRUTH about your Faith is the understanding of the Holy Trinity.
The Trinity is the unity of the Father, Son, and I ...
There are three distinct entities within THE one and only God, but most people seem to understand, talk, and relate to God and Jesus more personally than they do to Me.
Even though we are One, having a relationship with each of the three of US is so very important.
It is I that brought forth Jesus into human form ...
|
Matthew 1:18 |
|
Matthew 1:20 |
Who is the Spirit of Truth Bible trivia question ... Did you know that Jesus wants you and I to have a close relationship?
|
John 15:26 |
Imagine Jesus telling you, "It is for your benefit that I leave, because if I do not, you will not get the opportunity to befriend the Holy Spirit ... "
Oh my friend, most have only gotten to know two thirds of God thus far ...
Wait until you meet Me!
I have got something interesting to show you.
God and I sent Jesus.
|
Isaiah 48:16 |
And now, God and Jesus ... Have sent Me!
Jesus is the WORD of God ...
See the Word of God study sometime to learn More.
Let's continue on so you can experience more about who is the Spirit of Truth Bible friend. But, how does one actually become My near and dear friend? Well, believe it or not, for most people, it is much the same as making friends with anyone else. You just have to get to know Me. How do you get to know someone? You spend time with them. You talk WITH them. You ask them questions. You learn about them. You tell them about yourself too, you share your secrets and your hopes, your dreams and your motivations, your successes and your failures, you build their trust in you and vice versa.The Spirit of Truth path to the promise ... We are going to talk about many things like this over the next seven days on this path to Friendship, and you will find that I am like no other friend that you can possibly imagine, and I will not deny anyone an earnest request to know Me.
My most heartfelt desire is to have a relationship with you and I hope that this opportunity for you to get to know Me and become friends proves to be a life changing and abundantly fulfilling experience for you.
COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE!
Even though I am invisible, as I have mentioned
...
I certainly do not "hide" Myself from you.
If you sincerely look for Me, you will find Me.
All you have to do is ... A S K
Ask
Seek
Knock
|
Matthew 7:7-8 |
For some, perhaps a relationship with someone so
... All knowing ... So important ... So
convicting ... So perfect, is a responsibility
that is just too far out of their comfort zone,
so it is easy to find excuses to avoid seeking a
bond with Me.
I have heard people say of Me ...
"Uh, I've tried, but I just don't ever feel like I can connect with Him, how long do I have to wait?"
I have a question ...
How long did I wait for YOU?
THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH BIBLE PATIENCE
WHO IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH BIBLE PROMISE
You may be one who has tried before to establish a friendship with Me, but you just never had any kind of mystical, magical experiences like you have heard other people talk about. You may have reckoned yourself to be a "spiritual nit wit" and given up hope.
My Friend, if this describes you, please don't be ashamed. There are many who have not uncovered the mystery and the rewards of a TRUE friendship with Me, but the important thing is that you are here now!
I invite you to take up hope once again, because through this ... Who is the Spirit of Truth Bible program, you are going to learn a whole lot about Me, and the more you know about Me, the easier it will be for you to be comfortable and begin a personal friendship with Me.
It is not a difficult thing to do. Though I may seem a bit obscure, your Father in Heaven did not make it a complex or problematical thing to get to know Me. It is not something to be afraid of, or confusing, or reserved for only certain people, or troubling in any way, shape or form.
Jesus did, after all, call Me the Comforter so you can be assured that My purpose is not to make you feel uncomfortable, by any means (as I am your Comforter) but, rather to bring God's Love to abundance in your life.
|
Romans 5:5 |
One of the things that I want to point out to you right from the beginning is that you should not compare your relationship with Me to anyone else's relationship with Me. Just as you probably have several close friends, but your relationship with each of them is totally different, and cannot be compared, so will it be with Me as well.
CLOSE
ENCOUNTERS
If you have never had an encounter with Me, this SON-derful
Spirit of Truth program will help you learn how to get
acquainted with Me. As a Christian, building a
friendship with Me will help to strengthen your
Faith and grow in Christ in preparation for
eternal life.
However, do not let the word "encounter" intimidate you. Chances are, you actually have encountered Me many times. You probably just did not recognize it as being Me. Maybe it is because of the invisible thing ...
You may have come here today to this who is the Spirit of Truth Bible quest thinking that unless your visits with Me are extraordinary, bizarre or Earth shattering experiences ... Then it is doubtful that I am actually right there with you. Or maybe you feel that unless you have some visible, audible, or tangible evidence of a meeting with Me immediately, then it probably would not really ever happen.
Dear friend, communing (hanging out) with Me will be Sense-ational !
It is a relationship ... A friendship.
But ... You do not have to experience something overwhelming each time you seek Me.
In your other friendships is that not the case? You do not have outstanding events occur each time you share thoughts. Your love for them does not change, but you feel much different about them let us say during a debate about a controversial topic than you do after they have gone out of their way to help you in a time of need.
PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME
How would you feel if people gave up on you because you did not make them feel a flood of emotion each and every time you were together, usually because of something within them such as harboring negative emotions which hinders them from FEELING your presence?
Relax, be yourself, and give Me the same courtesies that you give your other loved ones. God is God, yes, and He can do anything at any time, yes, but must He perform extraordinary acts on command and show constant signs to retain a person's devotion? Perhaps with a different outlook, I would be much more recognizable and rewarding!
A WORD ABOUT WORSHIP
There is something that Jesus shared, that I want you to think about:
|
John 4:23-24 |
God is a Spirit ... Yes, I AM part of God. You remember the Trinity ... God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. As you get to know Me, I will show you that I am within you and I AM the Spirit of TRUTH.
So, what did Jesus mean when He said those words? You must worship the Father sincerely, TRUTHfully, honestly ... And from your heart. It's all about your spirituality ... Your faith, your hope, your trust, and your love for God ... These invisible attributes are your Spiritual connection. You must worship God in Spirit because God is a Spirit.
Let us take the Spirit of Truth Bible field trip as to talk about what it means to be Spiritual. It means that you believe there are meanings for things beyond physical or tangible proof or explanation. Let Me give you an example. You cannot see love. Yet you know it exists. You can see the fruits of love, but love itself is a spiritual matter. It is an emotion, and you cannot see it, you cannot touch it, and you cannot hear it. You cannot record it on a meter or measure it. But you believe in it with all your heart. Love is truly spiritual.
Sooooooo ... Being IN THE SPIRIT is referring to being IN the Spiritual REALM of Love because GOD IS LOVE.
|
1 John 4:8 |
Yes, God is the Spirit of Love so you must get into the SPIRIT of Love.
HERE I AM
I am here to guide you, and I am overjoyed that you are reaching out to Me.
Now, here is something interesting for you to ponder on ... God seeks "those" who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.
Those who?|
Psalms 150:6 |
You should be starting to think more spiritually already.
Just wanted to get the ball rolling here and show you how easy it is to open your mind and heart and search out the mysteries that go deeper than the practical mind.
Friend, the Spiritual world is not practical or logical. You cannot try and enter this Realm with your limited carnal mind. Ponder on this, Who is the Spirit of Truth Bible tidbit of truth that Jesus shared with you:
|
Luke 17:20-21 |
The Holy Spirit is WITHIN you so the Spirit of Love is within you and you must go WITHIN yourself to make this Spiritual connection.
BREAKING THE ICE
Well, what do I do first? That may be the question that is foremost in your mind about your friendship with Me. First, you must invite Me into your life. I am a gentleman, and I will not come into your life unless I am invited. I will just wait and Hope. Tell Me about yourself ... All about yourself. You can be honest with Me ... I promise you, I'll keep everything confidential that you tell Me.
If you really take your time and tell Me all of the details about your life, just as you would to a best friend from childhood that you hadn't seen for umpteen years, this may take quite a long time to catch up to the present, and you will be surprised how much you learn about yourself during the telling. Start all the way back as far as you can remember! Be aware of My presence as you tell Me everything. When are you ever going to get the time? How about on your way to work? Invite Me to sit in the front seat next to you. You will be more aware of My presence if you don't put your purse or your briefcase on that seat. How about a little person to person ... I mean spirit to Spirit chat during your break time?
WHO IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH BIBLE SECRET By the way, this is a very private matter. You do not want anyone else to know when you are communing with Me. It is a sacred, special thing. Find a private place where you can be alone with Me.
|
Matthew 6:5-6 |
Of course you don't have to go into your clothes closet ... Closet was a word they used for a private room like a bedroom, back in Jesus' day. And it doesn't have to be a long visit each time we communicate, but sometimes it will be.
Do not you sometimes call a friend just to say "Hello" or tell them one little thing? How about sending Me a "spiritual text message" once in a while? What about on your way home from work? How about while you mow the lawn or cook dinner?
So, what is the point of this who is the Spirit of Truth Bible program?
To discover for yourself, who the Spirit of Truth is, and how I will make a difference in your Christian walk.
When you have a friend that has changed your life, and you know just how extraordinary they are, and you also know that they can change others' lives too, you do everything you can to share the blessing of their friendship ...
And ... I AM just such a Friend.
Knowing that even though the world is a bit different now than it was in the days after Jesus died for you, when I was working through the Apostles to build the early Church ...
Today ... I still work through people by giving them power to do God's will, no matter how miraculous or mysterious or unbelievable that might sound!
It is My purpose to encourage you to invite Me to "light the fire" of passion in you to serve the Lord with all your heart and that you surrender your life to Him so that by the power of the Spirit of Truth working through you, anything may be accomplished.

John
14:12-13 |

WILL YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH BIBLE GIFT?
There are 7 Steps within the Spirit of Truth Bible program.
If you read one of the Who is the Spirit of Truth Bible study Steps each day, you will comprehend and retain much more than if you try and read ahead.
I know it is exciting and you thirst for more wisdom, but you don't want your cup to run over but I urge you, when you feel the desire to press on with the next Step ahead of time, instead, build on your personal one-on-one time with Me ...
Just talk to Me ... As a part of the Spirit of Truth Bible program, I encourage you to start a Personal Spiritual Journal. In your Personal Spirit of Truth Spiritual Journal, just jot down your thoughts, your trials and tribulations, your questions, maybe write a psalm, or your goals, or anything else you'd like to share with Me once a day. Become more aware of experiences and thoughts that you have that you believe are spiritual.
What do I mean by that?
When you see beyond the limited single dimensional human view of something and broaden your way of thinking. When you remove your carnal limitations on the power that I have to accomplish anything through you ... In other words, when you think things are possible that you wouldn't have formerly thought ... Write about it!
When you find answers to your questions, write them down too. This is very important, because it strengthens your faith to see the answers. Keep your journal private ... Just between you and Me. It's a great way to look back and see progress in your Christian walk and it also shows devotion to our new friendship.
