The OT prophets speak of the change that is coming, the Messiah, Who brings with HIM the New Testament Church

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

Isaiah the prophet speaks of the coming of Jesus, the Messiah.

 

Isaiah 9

 

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon HIS shoulder: and HIS name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of HIS government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon HIS kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Jesus will be born of a virgin and HIS father is the Holy Spirit of God. 

 

Isaiah 7:14  Therefore the Lord HIMSELF shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call HIS name Immanuel.

 

Jesus brings another Spirit to us.

 

Luke 9

 

51  And it came to pass, when the time was come that HE should be received up, HE stedfastly set HIS face to go to Jerusalem,

52 And sent messengers before HIS face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for HIM.

53 And they did not receive HIM, because HIS face was as though HE would go to Jerusalem.

54 And when HIS disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt THOU that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

55 But HE turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

God gives HIS Holy Spirit to all who are the elect of God, to all those born again who are the New Testament Church.

 

Hebrews 1

 

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by Whom also HE made the worlds;

 

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

In the New Testament Church, we who are born again are given the Holy Spirit of God to lead us and guide us in all things.

 

John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of HIMSELF; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

The Holy Spirit in us brings to our mind those things which are the will of God in the issues of this life and we do those things and speak those things given us by HIS Spirit.

 

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

When we follow what the Spirit of God brings to our mind, doing that, saying that, there is no condemnation to us.

 

Galatians 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

 

For example:

 

Our flesh wants to hate.  But the Spirit reminds us to love.  

 

Therefore we chose to "love" rather than to tell that person off.  

 

We turn to God continually when we are offended, asking God not to let us say that which we want to say.  We bridle our tongue by choosing to do what the Spirit of God shows us to do.  We choose to walk in the Spirit.

 

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
