Hearing the Holy Spirit

(Excerpts from: How can we hear the Holy Spirit accurately? http://www.craigkeener.com/how-can-we-hear-the-holy-spirit-accurately/)

“He [the Holy Spirit] comes to testify about Jesus (John 15:26; John 16:14).  He brings to our remembrance and explains what Jesus has already said (John 14:26).”

“The  Spirit  also comes  to reveal God’s  heart  to us,  and  God’s heart  is defined in  this  context as love  (John 13:34-35; John 15:9-17). To walk in Christian love is to know God’s heart (1 John 4:7-8; see also Jer. 22:16).”

“It is when the Spirit has written the Bible’s teaching in our heart that we become most truly people of the Spirit.”
