  Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of Reflection on the Word with
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Richard K. I'm Chuck Christie, and today we are asking
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you to spend a few moments of your time with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: us each day as Richard shares from God's work with notes, quotes,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and story along with some of his own personal experiences,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to confirm for you God's great love for us, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: his compassion for us never fails, and that He has
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a great faithfulness toward us in every regard. Now, if
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you miss a portion of today's broadcast or would like
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to recommend it to a friend, you can hear this
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: program anytime online at Talknetwork Radio dot com. Well, now
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: here's Richard with today's reflection.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But you have received the Holy Spirit and he lives
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: what is true. Well, the Spirit teaches you everything you
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: need to know, and what he teaches is true. It
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: is not alive. So just as he has taught you,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: remain in fellowship with Christ. First John, Chapter two, verse
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. How does the Holy Spirit speak? There are
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: many ways that the Holy Spirit speaks to us, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: we'll look at three ways in which he warns us.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit may give us just a nudge or
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a feeling of something about to happen. Perhaps for some
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of us, it's about impending danger. One account of this
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: happening was a believer who was driving toward an intersection,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and since a strong prompting by the Spirit to hit
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: his brakes. As soon as he did, a semi ran
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the red light. He may have been killed had he
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: not been aware of the Holy Spirit's instruction to apply
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: his breaks. There are many examples of near accidents that
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we have experienced, and sometimes without consciously knowing. Another form
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: of warning from the Holy Spirit is to keep us
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: from following temptation that will lead us to sin. There
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: are very few workwhile movies being produced, and Christians constantly
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: find themselves being checked by the Spirit about the choice
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of going to see them. We are also warned by
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit as to the company we keep, the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: activities we are involved in, and the manner in which
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: we behave in troubled times. In these cases, the Holy
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Spirit gives a more defined warning. He simply says no,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: when we're headed somewhere, we should not go. These two
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: are welcomed warnings because he speaks for our own protection.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: When the Holy Spirit speaks to us, he may be
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: guiding us to truth where we may be willing to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: accept less. It is possible that he tells us through
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the written word. He may choose to speak to us
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: through another person, giving them wisdom and knowledge we may
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: need in a given situation. We do not control his methods. Rather,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: we must learn to hear him in all manner of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: speaking and obey his instruction.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Richard will be right back in a moment to wrap up.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But if you've just joined us you've been listening to
• 4:21

• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to wrap up today's message.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: We know that he will never lead us away from
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Jesus or his work. The Holy Spirit will always guide
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: us into what is true and holy. He is the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: constant voice of God in dwelling every believer. When we
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: listen to him, we become obedient followers of the Lord
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. But you have received the Holy Spirit and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: teach you what is true, for the Spirit teaches you
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: everything you need to know. And what he teaches is true.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It is not a lie. So just as he has
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ First John two
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: twenty six. And that is today's Reflection on the Word.
• 6:06
