Spirit goes up at the rapture, He of necessity must take all up in whom He dwells. This blessed fact should stir every person so that he will strive to be in that number which will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. It should lead each one to seek an outpouring of the Spirit. Every person born of the Spirit may also be filled with the Spirit. The baptism with the Spirit is given to all believers who ask, obey, and believe. The conditions which must be met in order to be filled with the Spirit are simple and easy for all honest-hearted souls. The benefits of being filled with the Spirit are far-reaching and long-lasting. *************************************
WHEN HE IS COME by Joshua Stauffer Chapter 12 THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13). Divine leadership is one of the offices of the Holy Spirit in this dispensation. While Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, was on earth, He as a Man submitted Himself fully to the leadership of the Holy Spirit from His anointing with the Spirit to His glorification, at which time the Spirit was released and sent back into the world to take up His abode in the followers of Christ to lead them. Christ was a perfect example of a Man being led perfectly by the Spirit. After His anointing with the Spirit, the Spirit led Christ into the wilderness and He remained there until the Spirit led Him out. Christ lived, labored, and moved in the divine schedule which the Spirit planned for His life. During this period, Christ personally led His disciples from place to place as He Himself was led by the Spirit. We read that Christ said, "Let us go into the next towns," "Let us pass over unto the other side" and "Arise, let us go hence." Even as Christ guided His disciples while He was on earth, so the Holy Spirit as a Person will guide all the followers of Christ. I. He Guides Into All Truth This does not mean that He will instantly lead every believer into all possible truth, nor all actual truth in an absolute sense. Neither does the Holy Spirit guide the believer into political, social, or scientific truth. This is not His work, nor in keeping with the object of His coming into the world. Worldly wisdom does not save us, make us more spiritual, nor prepare us for the coming of Christ. The Holy Spirit leads us into spiritual truth necessary for Christian experience, for spiritual enlightenment, and for the progress of the spreading of the gospel. He specifically guides into spiritual truth, but does not limit Himself to spiritual truth. He may and does guide in outward affairs, business dealings, and that which concerns our daily lives. As a Leader, the Holy Spirit has no equal. We must yield ourselves fully to Him in order for Him to lead us. He is just as well qualified to lead us now as was Christ to lead His followers when He was on earth. It is just as essential for us to obey and follow His leadership as it was for the disciples to follow Christ when He led them. II. He Guides Us Directly This means more than always being led instantly, but in being led in a direct manner without any intervention. He gives us sufficient time to understand His voice, and leadings, and when these are not discerned immediately, He will speak again and again with a gentle voice until we recognize His voice. He is patient and kind and does not accuse the believer while he is going slowly to determine His voice, and to become certain of His leadership. He guides by holy impressions. His voice is kind, yet forceful. Often it is in the faintest whisper or impression which requires an open heart and a listening ear to detect His voice. Then He employs our heart and instills within us holy desires. These
