THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH HAS BEEN POURED OUT
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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 (John 14:16-17).
When Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit, He called Him the Spirit of truth (John 14:17, John 15:26, John 16:13). So when the Bible says in Joel 2:28, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh…” it meant the Spirit of truth would be poured out upon all flesh, upon the nations. This happened in Acts 2:1-11.
So, today, in this Church age, the Spirit of truth is at work. We live and function by the Spirit of truth. The Bible says the lying tongue is only for a short time; it can never be successful. In this day of the Church where the Spirit of truth has been released and poured out, He’s at work throughout the whole world.
Through our preaching of the Gospel and intercession for the nations, we release truth into all nations and deception can’t stand against the power of truth. The day of deception will come, when the whole world will be deceived, but that’s after the rapture of the Church.
But this is our day, and the Gospel shall have free course in every nation. The spirit of truth must prevail in every land and in every heart until all whom God has appointed unto salvation have come into the Kingdom. This is the day of God’s grace, where Truth must gain the ascendancy. Remember, His Word is truth (John 17:17). Therefore, keep proclaiming God’s truths with boldness always and in every place.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the Spirit of truth by whose ministry in every nation deception is being decimated. As the Church boldly proclaims and propagates the truth of the Gospel, it penetrates the hearts and minds of men, inspiring faith and resulting in salvation and increased knowledge of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
