“The Spirit Who Teaches Truth”

📖 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things…”
 —John 14:26a (NKJV)

You don’t need a seminary degree to understand the Bible.
You need the Holy Spirit.

The world has plenty of voices trying to tell you what’s true, but only one voice was promised by Jesus to lead you into all truth. That’s the Spirit of God.

He doesn’t just teach you what the Bible says—He shows you how to live it.
He doesn’t just give you facts—He reveals Christ.
He doesn’t confuse—He brings clarity.

So before you scroll, react, argue, or even study—pause and pray:
“Holy Spirit, teach me truth. Show me what Jesus would do. Help me follow Him.”

Challenge:
 Start a journal called “What the Holy Spirit Taught Me Today.” Every time something clicks in your heart or you’re reminded of a Bible truth, write it down.

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I want to be led by truth, not by hype or opinions. Teach me what Jesus wants me to know, and help me walk it out. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Is Our Teacher”

📖 “He will teach you all things…”
 —John 14:26a (NKJV)

Have you ever had a teacher help you learn something that seemed really hard at first? Maybe it was reading, math, or tying your shoes. Once you had someone show you how—it got easier, right?

Well, Jesus gave us a special Teacher to help us learn about God’s truth—and that’s the Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit helps you understand the Bible, remember God’s love, and know how to do the right thing when you’re not sure. He’s always with you, even when no one else is around.

So the next time you’re reading your Bible or facing a big decision, stop and pray: “Holy Spirit, will You teach me?”
 He loves it when you ask.

Think About It:

  • What’s something you’ve learned about God this week?
  • How do you think the Holy Spirit helps you understand?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for being my Teacher. Help me listen and learn what is true. I want to know God better every day. Amen.

Devotions, Family Devotionals

👩‍👧 Family Devotional — Day 17

Rooted & Raised

“He Will Take of What Is Mine and Declare It to You”

📖 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
 —John 16:14 (NKJV)

One of the greatest gifts God has given Christian families is that we are not alone in trying to understand truth or raise our children in it. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would take all that is His—His love, His truth, His wisdom—and make it known to us.

This means mothers can find clarity in the fog of parenting.
It means children can learn to listen for His voice at a young age.
It means our homes can be shaped by divine wisdom instead of worldly noise.

As we gather around Scripture and prayer, we are not merely doing family devotionals—we are inviting the Spirit to teach us, comfort us, and reveal more of Jesus.

Let your home be a place where the Spirit is welcomed and His voice is heard.

Family Reflection:

  • Are we giving the Holy Spirit space to speak in our home?
  • What’s one way we can honor His voice together this week?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, take what belongs to Jesus and make it real to our family. Help us hear Your voice and follow You together. Let our home be full of Your truth. Amen.

“He Speaks What Belongs to Jesus”

📖 “He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
 —John 16:14b (NKJV)

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by voices—social media, music, influencers, even friends. But how often do you tune your heart to the voice that matters most?

Jesus said the Holy Spirit would take what belongs to Him—His truth, His love, His promises—and declare it to you.

Not just pastors.
Not just your parents.
You.

The Spirit doesn’t give empty hype or vague feelings. He gives real truth, directly from Jesus, to shape who you are and how you live.

If you want to know what’s real, what matters, and who you’re called to be—start by listening to the One who was sent to declare the heart of Christ.

Challenge:
 Turn off distractions for 15 minutes today. Read a few verses from the Gospels and ask the Holy Spirit: “What do You want me to know about Jesus?”

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I want to hear You clearly. Take what belongs to Jesus and speak it to my heart. Make His words real and personal to me. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Shares What Belongs to Jesus”

📖 “He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
 —John 16:14b (NKJV)

Have you ever had a friend share something special with you—like a toy or a fun secret? It makes you feel close, right?

The Bible tells us the Holy Spirit shares with us what belongs to Jesus!

That means He helps us understand the love Jesus has for us. He helps us know the truth about what’s right and wrong. He helps us remember Bible verses and how to follow Jesus every day.

The Holy Spirit never keeps Jesus a secret—He helps us know Him better and love Him more!

Think About It:

  • What do you think Jesus wants you to know about Him today?
  • Can you ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand Jesus more?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me learn about Jesus. I want to know Him more and follow Him every day. Amen.

“He Will Take of What Is Mine and Declare It to You”

📖 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
 —John 16:14b (NKJV)

Jesus didn’t just teach truth—He is Truth (John 14:6). And the Holy Spirit’s role is to take all that belongs to Christ—His words, His wisdom, His righteousness, His promises—and declare them to us.

This is more than intellectual knowledge. This is revelation. A living, personal connection to the heart of Christ.

Have you ever been reading Scripture and suddenly felt like a verse leapt off the page? That’s the Holy Spirit, taking what is Christ’s and making it known to you.

He helps you not just study the Word—but know the One who spoke it.
He reminds you that you are loved, chosen, and empowered by grace.
He helps you understand the deeper things of God that the world cannot see.

You don’t walk through life with a closed book. You have a living Teacher who knows the thoughts of God—and He longs to declare them to you.

Reflection Questions:

  • Do I give the Holy Spirit room to speak as I read Scripture?
  • What has He been declaring to me lately about Jesus?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I want to hear what You have to say. Take what belongs to Jesus and declare it to my heart. I want to know Him more and walk in His truth. Amen.
