SPIRIT OF TRUTH (05-06-13)


Luke 18:7
“I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.  But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.”

You and your family are all dressed up to attend the Sunday Mass.  When suddenly, a friend called you inviting you to a party, and you need to leave now.  Would you go with your friend or with your family?

You are ready to attend a bible study.  When, out of nowhere, you hear a tiny voice telling you to just go home and have some beer and watch a DVD movie.  Would you heed that tiny voice?

The spirit of truth…
… or the spirit of deceit.

Most of the time, we listened to the latter… for it surely gives us more pleasure for the flesh. 

Let us keep in mind the fact that the forces of Satan are working day and night to draw us into error of thinking, error of action, error within the church, error within the world, and error in our minds and hearts.

The only defense against these cunning wiles of the serpent, is the presence and power of the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of the Truth – within us, as he is always bringing us to the truth of the Word of God.

God has always communicated the truth, Satan the lie.  So are you for deceit, or for the truth?

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, teach us to believe only in Your words and follow Your commandments.  We listen only to You and we belong to You always and forever.  Thank You for giving us the Spirit of the Truth.  Amen +

His majesty is above earth and heaven.
