Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

If we are to claim to have the Holy Spirit, our speech should be like that of the Holy Spirit testifying of Jesus.

If we claim to have the influence, presence and leading of the Holy Spirit in our church, we should constantly hear of Jesus.

In many places we hear talk of money, of some pastor or prophet. We hear of how a person dresses or what we can or cannot eat. We hear of what day we should worship. How this one group is right and everyone else is wrong.

We hear about this and that, but rarely hear about Jesus!

We cannot claim the leading of the Holy Spirit without our main, even sole focus being Jesus! His Name, His Work, His Goodness, His Character, His Life, His Death, His Resurrection from the dead! Jesus Jesus Jesus!

The Holy Spirit is testifying continually about Jesus! If we are to claim being led by the Spirit, this should be what we testify of also! Jesus!

If where we worship is doing something else or focusing on some other person, it may be time to stand up and say something, or it may be time to pack up and take your family where the Holy Spirit really is followed and is testifying of Jesus!

Jesus is the Gospel!
Jesus is the Kingdom!
Jesus is the King!
Jesus is the Way!

Mal 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Mal 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Mal 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
