(707) 895-2325God bless you as you examine His Word,Your servant in Christ, 2Cor. 4:5

These Microsoft PowerPoint presentations are provided "for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-15). To help Christians to "to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ." So that "we are no longer...tossed here and there...by every wind of doctrine." They may be downloaded and modified free of charge.

Matthew 10:8 …Freely you received, freely give.

• In review;• Remember that chapters 13-18 are all connected;• NAU John 13:33 "Little children, I am with you a little

while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.’

• The outcry of the disciples resulted in John chapter 14.

John 14:16, Another Helper

• NAU John 14:16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another [allos, not heteros] Helper, that He may be with you forever;

• I see the use of “another [allos, not heteros]” as another evidence of the deity of the Holy Spirit.

• If the Holy Spirit was some sort of lesser god, or an impersonal force as the Jehovah witnesses teach, then I believe John would have used the Greek word “heteros”, “another” of a different kind.

John 14:17, The Spirit Will Be In You

• NAU John 14:17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

• In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit was “with” the saints, and very rarely “in” them. The Holy Spirit was not yet “in” these men who were Christ’s inner circle of disciples.

• Jesus is here promising a major change in dispensations. The “will be” anticipates the day of Pentecost, and the beginning of the church.

• NAU Acts 11:15 …the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as He did upon us at the beginning.

John 14:17, A Different “oikonomia”

• NAU Matthew 9:30 And …Jesus sternly warned them: "See that no one knows about this!”

• Matthew 16:20 …they should tell no one that He was the Christ.

• NAU Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;

• NAU Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…

• NAU Matthew 11:11 …among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. [Luke 16:16]

• This was a different “oikonomia” than the church age, [Matthew 10:5, 11:11, 16:20, 28:19, Luke 16:16, Mark 8:29, John 14:17]; Keep Quiets!, Matthew 8:4, 9:30, 16:20, Mark 5:43, 8:29

John 14:17, Is the church in the OT?Dispensationalism vs. Covenant Theology

• Here are just a few of the verses that need to be reconciled in the debate about dispensationalism or covenant theology. Concerning the different identities of Israel and the church. Since Israel and the church both have different beginnings, bloodlines, ministries, messages, and future destinies;

• Matthew 16:18, John 7:37–39, 14:16–17, 16:7, Acts 1:22, 2:17, 10:1–11:15, 20:28, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Luke 3:16, Ephesians 1:20-23, 2:13–16, 19–20, 3:3–6, Revelation 21:2, 9, 24, 26, Ezekiel 40–48, Isaiah 2:1-4, 61:6, Zechariah 8:20-23

John 14:21, Closer To Jesus?• NAU John 14:21 "He who has My

commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

• Would you like to have a closer relationship with God?

• God desires to to have more intimacy with you!

• Jesus promised that He “will disclose” Himself to those who love Him and keep His Commandments.

John 14:23, Who Abides In You?• NAU John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he

will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

• NAU John 14:17 …the Spirit of truth…He abides…in you. • NAU 1 John 2:24 …you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.• NAU 1 John 3:23 This is His commandment, that we believe in the name

of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. 24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. [obedience strengthens assurance]

• NAU Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

John 14:26The Holy Spirit’s Ministry, Purpose, And Work

• 11 ways the Holy Spirit ministers to us;• Baptized in the Spirit• Born of the Spirit• Intercession of the Spirit• Worship in the spirit• Live in the spirit• Witness in the spirit• Taught by the spirit• Reminded by the spirit• Helped/comforted by the spirit• Convicted by the spirit• Guided by the spirit

John 14:26, The Holy Spirit’s Ministry, Purpose And Work

• John 14:26 "But the Helper [parakletos], the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

• John 15:26 "When the Helper [parakletos] comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me, 27 and you will bear witness also, because you have been with Me from the beginning. [verbal plenary inspiration]

• Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, or the Father?

John 14:26“God of patience and comfort”

• NKJ Romans 15:5 Now may the God of patience and comfort [paraklesis]…

• NAU 2 Corinthians 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as

2 Corinthians 1:2, “God of all comfort”

• the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; 7 and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort. 8 For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

John 14:26, The Holy Spirit’s Ministry, Purpose And Work

• John 15:26 …the Helper … will bear witness of Me,

• John 14:17 …the Spirit of truth…He abides…in you. • John 16:13-15…13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth,

comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 "He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you….

• 1 John 4:1 …test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

John 14:26, Inerrancy, All Scripture

• NAU John 14:26 …the Holy Spirit…will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. [John wrote more than 50 years after Jesus said this]

• NAU 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

• NET 2 Timothy 3:16 Every scripture is inspired by God…

• YLT 2 Timothy 3:16 every Writing is God-breathed…

John 14:26, Verbal Plenary Inspiration

• “We believe this doctrine of the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures primarily because it is the doctrine which Christ and his apostles believed, and which they have taught us.”

• --B.B. Warfield (November 5, 1851 - February 16, 1921, professor of theology at Princeton Seminary from 1887 to 1921)

• Jesus builds an entire apologetic on just the tense of the words in the OT;

John 14:26, Jesus Believed In Verbal Plenary Inspiration

• NAU Luke 20:37 …Moses …calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM… 38 "Now He is not the God of the dead, but of the living…”

• In the NT Paul builds an apologetic on singular or plural of the words; NAU Galatians 3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, "And to your seed," that is, Christ.

• NAU Matthew 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter [jot] or stroke [tittle] shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

John 16:12-15, Illumination Of The Holy Spirit

Illumination Of The Holy Spirit

• When the unregenerate, unsaved, unbeliever, reads the Bible it's kind of like looking at a regular photograph. “Just the facts ma’am.” Just historical words on a page.

• However, when the believer, someone indwelled by the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Spirit abiding in them, the Spirit of truth illuminating the text, it's more like looking at a three dimensional photograph, or a hologram. The Holy Spirit who wrote the words illumines our hearts into sync with His words.

• NAU 1 Corinthians 2:10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God, 13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things…

1 Corinthians 2:11-16, Illumination

• Theological Ism’s, Randy Smith, pg. 43

Illumination Of The Holy Spirit bible.org

• “….II. Illumination• Anyone who reads the Scripture can see the words and study the facts like any other literature. But the Bible is unique in that God inspired it to teach us ad change our life (2 Timothy 3:16).

God was at work in producing the texts of scripture and He is also at work in the mind of the believer who reads it and desires God to use it to affect his life. The Holy Spirit who indwells all believers (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13) is active in this process which is sometimes called illumination. Illumination is necessary for the Bible to change lives.

• A. Definition: The ministry of the Holy Spirit helping the believer to understand and apply the truth of the Bible (Charles Ryrie).• B. Description• 1. Illumination is the work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:12-15; 1 Corinthians 2:10; 1 John 2:27).• 2. Illumination is the Holy Spirit’s work in believers (1 Corinthians 2:10-15; Ephesians 1:18) and not in some mystical power of the words of scripture.• 3. In illumination, the Holy Spirit will use our study and meditation, not only to help us understand scripture, but to apply it to our lives.• 4. The Bible reader’s accuracy, honesty and spiritual life can all affect the Spirit’s ministry of illumination (1 Corinthians 3:1-3).• 5. The Spirit uses those with the gift of teaching/exhortation to help in the process of illumination (Ephesians 4:11-13; Romans 12:7).• So when we read and study scripture, it is important to consciously remember the Holy Spirit’s “illuminating” ministry in our life and to ask God to teach us. Illumination does not guarantee

that we will always interpret/understand scripture accurately. God uses our skill, knowledge and integrity as well.• III. Application• It has often been said that “a passage has one interpretation but many applications.” In other words, there is only one true meaning. God doesn’t “speak out the both sides of His mouth”

and mean two different things at once (Example: Ephesians 4:25 means “Don’t tell a lie”). But the applications are many (Examples: Tell the truth on tax forms, to your spouse, to your boss, etc.).

• A. Key Passages• 1. James 1:22-25

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (v.22- NIV).• 2. Titus 1:1

“…The knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness” (NIV).• B. The Process of Application• 1. Meditate on the scripture.• Joshua 1:8 and Psalm 1:1,2 tell us to “meditate” on the word of God “day and night. The process of spiritual growth involves “thinking biblically”. We must reprogram our minds to see our

life and choices from God’s perspective. A rushed 3-minute scripture reading or devotional book doesn’t amount to much meditation and reprogramming time. Memorizing scripture is a great way to allow God’s truth to “soak in” (Psalm 119:11)

• 2. Relate the meaning to myself.• Once we know the biblical principle, we must relate it somehow to our own life. To do that we must understand our own needs and weaknesses (1 Timothy 4:16; Romans 12:3). We must be

honest and ask God to “search our heart” (Psalm 139:23,24). It’s easy to apply scripture to sinners around us but harder to explore our own areas of need. Our spouse, children and friends can probably help. How do they think I need to apply this principle?

• 3. Practice the truth• This is the action step. This is where we actually change our thinking or behavior based on God’s word. God intends for us to “be transformed by the renewing of our mind” (Romans 12:2).• The step of practicing truth requires the Holy Spirit’s power. Once we know what to think or what to do differently, we must consciously ask for God’s help and then step out in obedience

depending on the power of the Holy Spirit within us. That’s what it means to “walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16) and “be filled by the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).• Related Topics: Bibliology (The Written Word), Spiritual Life…”• https://bible.org/seriespage/interpretation-illumination-and-application

John 14:27Amplified

John 14:27“My peace I give to you"

• NAU John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

• NAU 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!

• NAU Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

• No wonder it's a sin to worry!

John 14:27, Be Anxious For Nothing

• Since Jesus has given us his peace and has commanded us in;

• NAU Matthew 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. 34 "Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

• We should not be anxious for anything. Fear not!

John 14:28, The Father Is Greater

• NAU John 14:28 "You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

• John 14:9…Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father…

• Gen 41:40 …Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.“

• Joseph could have said “Anyone who has seen me has seen Pharaoh?”

John 14:30, Ruler Of The World

• NAU John 14:30 "I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

• NAU Ephesians 2:2 …the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

• NAU 2 Corinthians 4:4 …the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light…

• NAU 1 John 5:19 …the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

John 14:30, gracethrufaith.com

A Dominion Theology Question• Q. …a bible study …teacher is bringing out parts

of the Dominion Theology. She truly believes and teaches that we still have the dominion God gave to Adam & Eve in Gen. 1:28. She believes we still have dominion over the birds, etc., as in Gen 1:28, and also over the wind, rain, sickness and disease. Can you show me in Scripture where when Adam fell he lost dominion and that that dominion was passed on to Satan, and that any authority we have to heal the sick and cast out demons comes directly from the authority given to us by using the name, power and authority of Jesus Christ?

John 14:30, gracethrufaith.com

A Dominion Theology Question• A. Jesus called Satan the prince (ruler) of this

world (John 14:30). Paul called him the god of this age (2 Cor. 4:4). And 1 John 5:19 says the whole world is under the control of the evil one. These clear statements stand in direct contradiction to the opinion that man has dominion over the earth.

• In my opinion, the best examples of using the name and authority of Jesus for healing and driving out demons come from Acts 3:6, Acts 4:10, and Acts 16:16-18.

John 14:30, Dominion Theology

• Satan said in NAU Luke 4:6 And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

• NAU Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil… said to Him, "All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.”

• This was a legitimate temptation, yet Jesus never denied Satan's authority.

• Matthew 8:26 … [Jesus] rebuked the winds and the sea… (Mark 4:39); Mark 9:25 …He rebuked the unclean spirit… (Luke 4:35); Luke 4:39 …He rebuked the fever…

• I don't think they would have been rebuked if they had been doing Jesus’ will.

• In conclusion
