#soap # John 16 ## Title: Maturing With God ## Scripture: (John 16:13-15) “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will speak whatever he hears and will tell you what is to come. He will glorify me because he will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you.” (NET) ## Observation: The Holy Spirit helps us develop our relationship with God because He is God. We have to be sure we do not consider the Holy Spirit as God’s messenger or God’s servant. The Holy Spirit is just as much God as the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the part of God that dwells with us right now if we are Christ-followers. The Holy Spirit walks with us daily and helps us grow. He leads us out of every dark place and into freedom. ## Application: Every morning, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in everything you do and everything you say. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for sending the Holy Spirit to be our daily friend.
