Revelation 19:10
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, whether that truth was revealed through ancient prophecy or revealed now. The Spirit is our assurance that we can know, understand, and apply the truth about Jesus.
So when we hear true testimony, when people give true witness to Jesus, then the Holy Spirit is right there supporting that message, using that message to convict people of sin and bringing comfort from that message to those in need.
When we speak the truth about Jesus, the Holy Spirit is there giving power to that truth.
Requirements for Answered Prayer
In John 14:14: After receiving Christ as our personal Savior, we have the right to present requests in Jesus’ name, which means praying something that the Lord Himself might pray. To exercise this privilege, we must come to the Father, depending not on our own good works or character but on the merits of Christ alone.
Jesus’ atoning death on the cross is the only basis for approaching God and being assured of receiving an answer to our petitions.
'Hope of the Holy'
And he [an angel] carried me [John] away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. — Revelation 21:10
The Holy Spirit brings hope. There is the short-term hope the Spirit brings through his comforting and enabling presence. The Spirit also brings hope through the promise of Scripture and God's visions for us of greater things that lie ahead for us. In a time of unspeakable danger and fear when John had his vision, Jesus' call to his disciples was to be faithful even to the point of death.
In that situation, this vision given by the Spirit is one of victory and hope. The Spirit brings hope — not a wish for a better future, but the assurance that a glorious future awaits us.
Daily Promise
Matthew 2:3-6
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
“ ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
