KTC: Receiving the Spirit of Truth

Thoughts on Davidic Kingship.

Last week we reviewed the Fruits of the Law, which actually results in an earthly  physical and spiritual salvation. This week we’ll wrap up our review of Keeping the Commandments with Receiving the Spirit.  Yeshua declared that when He departed that he would leave the Spirit of Truth that would guide us to all truth and would expand our knowledge of God.  And as we expand our knowledge, we can expect to receive greater degrees of the sanctifying and revelatory power of the Spirit.

The Process of Perfection
Our Process of Perfection looks like this:

                                                                     Individual Salvation
                                                                             Born Again
​                                                       (Redemption / Sanctification)
          Born of the Blood / Born of the Water > Keeps the Commandments > Born of God/Spirit

                                                                       Married Exaltation
                                                                     Going Onto Perfection
                           Becoming Perfect > Reaches the Full Stature of Messiah > Sees God the Son

Growing in Truth
God has not left man on his own to find truth. Through acts of God’s Grace, God has provided man a sequence of resources to come to a knowledge of the Truth.  That sequence begins with the Light of Messiah, which is the conscience of man to know right from wrong that leads him to the Law,  the Law as God’s Truth prepares us to receive Spirit which testifies of all truth and of Yeshua who is like the Father.​

Light of Messiah  >	The Law  >	The Spirit  >​	The Son  >	The Father
John 1:9	Psalms 119:151	John 16:13 John 15:26​	​John 14:9	-

The Spirit of Truth
Yeshua stated that when he left the Spirit of Truth  would come to lead man to all truth - John 16:1-13.  This scriptures sets out four specific things the Spirit would testify of:

             First, the Spirit would testify of the Law. Since the Law defines what is sin - verse 9.

          Second, the Spirit would testify of Yeshua as the Messiah, as the Way, the Truth and the Life
                                                      - who is righteousness - verse 10

                  Third, the Spirit would judge evil since Satan is the prince of this world - verse 11.

                                Fourth, the Spirit would testify and guide us to all truth -verse 13.​

Fruits, Gifts and Signs of the Spirit
The Fruits of the Spirit is how we know when the Spirit is testifying truth to us.  Typically, the Spirit will permeate a person with a sense of peace and not confusion or unsettledness.  Other Fruits the Apostle Paul lists are at Gal. 5:22-23.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."


Secondly,  the Fruits of Spirit expands our knowledge and increases our faith, which are the Gifts of the Spirit - 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

and Thirdly, the Gifts of Spirit brings God's power into our lives, which are the Signs of the Spirit - Mark 16:17-18​
