Jesus spoke spoke to the disciples while with them physically but He reminded them that when the Holy Spirit comes, He would teach them all things and remind them what He already said to them.
Teaching is a school word; and thus we learn that, becoming a child of God is like entering God's school where the Holy Spirit is our teacher. He is to teach us all things, but just like we already know, to learn all things, from the basics to the higher levels, it will not take one day or one year. It will take our lifetime to learn everything that God wants to teach us through the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will teach us all the truth, but just like in every school, there is always testing that comes before. When the time of the testing comes, the teacher is always there to help us do the test and pass it by reminding us what He has taught previously. He will remind us in the time of testing what The Lord spoke to us so that we make the right decision. He will not force us to make the right decision.
Can you picture this in your mind, a student doing a test, and then the teacher is there to help her and she asks for help and she is shown the correct answers and then the student go ahead and write the wrong answers? What would you think of such a student?
The student is also allowed to check for the answers in the text book and also ask other students for the correct answer. With all these, no student should fail in such a test but unfortunately many fail.
You may be wondering whether this applies to you, or whether you could be such a student, but you in the past you have been such a one.
When trial comes in your life, it's like a time of testing for you. Remember that without passing the test, you cannot go to the next level, if you fail you repeat until you pass. If you choose to drop out of school, even if you come back 10years later, you woun't go to a class higher, you may probably repeat the classes you previously passed.
In this time of testing, you can ask the teacher for the answers to write and He will always speak in your heart. When you take a wrong turn He will remind you by convicting you in your conscience but you still can silence that voice of conscience and go ahead to write the wrong answers. The text book is the bible and you can study it to find out what you ought to do in the time of testing. Our Christian brothers and sisters also can help us in the time of testing.
If we fail in the tests that God allows in our lives, with so much help to help us do them, we can only blame ourselves for such folly.
The other question we need to ask ourselves is, if I keep failing and repeating the tests God gives me, when will I ever learn everything the Holy Spirit wants to teach me. My life on earth is brief and if I waste it, I won't accomplish everything God wants me to accomplish in my lifetime. I have to get serious with my walk with God and I must now start passing my tests.
If you have failed numerous times in the past, there is hope for a tree when it's cut down, at the scent of the water it will sprout again.
In the times when you were ignorant about your Christian life, God overlooked, but now He command you to change your mind and take your walk with Him seriously. Acts 17:30
You are blessed to be a blessing
