Andrew Wommack Ministries Bible Commentary 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, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Note 81 at Joh 16:13: A guide doesnt do everything for us but rather leads us. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth, but we have to follow. We have to go to the effort of studying, trusting that the Holy Spirit is leading us. Note 82 at Joh 16:13: This was the fourth time Jesus emphasized the Holy Spirit as being the one to reveal the truths of God to the believer (see note 35 at Joh 14:26). In this instance, Jesus said the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. During this same night, Jesus said, Thy word is truth (Joh 17:17). Therefore, the Holy Spirit is specifically given to give revelation knowledge (see note 1 at Lu 2:26, note 9 at Joh 6:45, and note 1 at Joh 7:15) of Gods Word. Note 83 at Joh 16:13: Jesus had spoken of the ministry of the Holy Spirit many times before, but here He revealed that the Holy Spirit will show us things to come. Foreknowledge is one of the distinct characteristics of God alone (Isa 42:9, 45:11, 46:9-10; Jer 1:5; Mt 6:8, 24:36; and Ac 15:18). Therefore, this is another witness to the Holy Spirit being part of the Godhead. Part of the Holy Spirits ministry is to make this foreknowledge available to the believer. This does not automatically operate, but it can be appropriated by every Spirit-filled believer through faith. This is one of the most miraculous and beneficial ministries of the Holy Spirit and also one of the least used.
