Revelation of God's word

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   The Holy Spirit is the reveal-er and interpreter of God's Word - John 14:25-26.  2 things the Holy Spirit will do (v. 26) remind and teach.  The Holy Spirit will help disciples recall, correctly, all things they need to remember and will teach or lead them as needed while moving forward the future.
  If we let the Holy Spirit lead we will be as prophets of old - guided and directed by the Holy Spirit and sharing accurately the Word of God.
  All scripture, Old and New Testament has been accurate because of the true author - the Holy Spirit.  Paul states this in 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."
   God-breathed indicates the activity of the Holy Spirit, the author of scripture AND our (my & your) personal teacher of scripture.  If we listen to the Holy Spirit our interpretation of God's word will be accurate.
   The Holy Spirit fell on the people the day of pentecost. People said they are drunk.  Peter said (Acts 2:15-16) These men are not drunk as you suppose.  It's only 9 in the morning. No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel." (to know more about Joel click here)
  Now, at this time, Peter understood the prophecy of Joel, but prior to this he had no knowledge of Joel.  the Holy Spirit, the author, gave the interpretation or understanding.
   The same with Saul, later Paul, who persecuted the church, then filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:17) after his meeting on the road to Damascus.  Then Paul switched from persecutor of Christians  to profession Jesus as Son of God.
   The Bible is the Word of God AND Jesus is called the Word of God.  John 1:1 - three times Jesus is called "the Word".  Then John 1:14 - 'the word became flesh'. 
   John 16:12-15 - Jesus did not tell it all because he knew the Holy Spirit was coming.  then he explained what the Holy Spirit would do once he came.  The Holy Sprit reveals and glorifies Jesus and administers the total wealth of the Father and the Son because all the Father has, is given to the Son, all the Son has, the Holy Spirit Administers.
    I do pray you are able to understand this which I have penned.  God bless. Love you all.
Soli Deo Gloria
Johnny
