John 12 (NKJV)
49 For I (Jesus) have not spoken
on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me
gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
This is key in doing things in the Spirit verses doing
things influenced by our physical bodies.
50 And
I know that His command is everlasting life.
Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father
has told Me, so I speak.”
The key to being influenced by God's Holy Spirit is a
continually surrendered will.
Jesus didn't say everything that crossed His
mind.
Jesus emptied Himself of all His power as God upon the
earth (Philippians 2:5-11).
His power came from continually yielding to God's Holy
Spirit while He was upon the earth.
He functioned showing us how to do it.
If Jesus had said everything that crossed His mind, He
would have been operating being lead by His physical body.
The impulses of our physical bodies are harmful to our
walk with God (John 6:63).
When Jesus would say and do what God, the Father,
directed Him to say and do, He was following God's Holy Spirit.
We must be like Jesus.
We must not say everything that crosses our minds like
Jesus.
We must say and do only what God, our Father, tells us
to say and do.
