Holy Spirit as Revealer of the Things of God – Andrew Murray

The Spirit is the very life and power of God; all that he reveals is truth and power. He gives us to know God because he enters into the life and communicates the very thing which the word speaks in spirit and in truth. Through him we know God by what he is and gives and works in us.

Thoughts can only give pictures of spiritual things. At times these may be beautiful and delightful pictures, that make most pleasing impressions. They may waken strong desires in the heart and stir the will to its utmost effort, but they never can give or reveal the life. This is the sole prerogative of the Spirit of God.

He can do this not only because he is the Spirit of God, but because he can and does enter into the very spirit of man.
