Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered 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 home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.But the Helper, 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 have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
How is that neat, attractive entrance into my heart formed? What does it look like? The aroma? The sounds? The ambiance? Calm down, John. The LORD, God, the Almighty sends the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to teach me ALLthings and remind me of ALLthat He has told me through His Word.
Just listen and don't be afraid to lay out the details before the Spirit. Don't be afraid to appear to be a dummy; to be very open with Him; He cannot be fooled. I need to be contrite and be willing to come to the Spirit for guidance in ALLthings from the moment I open my eyes until I fall asleep at night. I need to enter into every situation by beginning with a silent prayer for guidance in showing love of neighbor and a compulsion to honor the LORD, God, the Almighty. To do so is to apply the Fear of the LORD in the immediate.
