Give Me an Answer - All Religions Do Not Say the Same Thing. Jesus Is Different From the Rest.

Joh 15:26 “And I will send you the Divine Encourager from the very presence of my Father. He will come to you, the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and he will speak to you about me. (TPT)
Just as His disciples speak of Jesus Christ as led by the Holy Spirit to do. His disciples are not led by the Holy Spirit to speak of the Holy Spirit in seeking His own glory, but the gospel of Jesus Christ in seeking His glory.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness,
because ye have been with me from the beginning.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

That is what a true witness does and the Holy Spirit is that perfect Witness.

John 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.


John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

When believers puts the spotlight on the Holy Spirit in worship, prayer, or fellowship, in seeking the glory of the Holy Spirit, they are not led by the indwelling Holy Spirit nor by scripture to do that, but are in iniquity. That does not mean they do not have the Holy Spirit, but they are not being led by scripture nor the indwelling Holy Spirit to do that thereby grieving the Holy Spirit in them.

John 10:1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber....
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.


John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Joh 15:26 “And I will send you the Divine Encourager from the very presence of my Father. He will come to you, the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and he will speak to you about me. (TPT)

Did you not see that the Holy Spirit does what in Joh 15:26......he will speak to you about me. Me who? Jesus

The Holy Spirit is called the "comforter". What happens to those who are comforted by the Holy Spirit? What does it give to those who are comforted?

2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

The word "comfort" also means "encourage"

I see that. Now be doer of the word and not hearer only by speaking of Jesus Christ as led by the indwelling Holy Spirit to do.

Since everything the Holy Spirit does is because of Jesus Christ, then the glory of the comfort and the encouragement goes to Jesus Christ.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. KJV

The NLT does not do His words justice as the NLT seems to limit what the Holy Spirit gives us as if only according to His words when the KJV goes beyond His words to include the fruits. gifts of the Spirit & everything the Spirit does.

John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
14 He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.’ NLT

The scripture below confirms this truth in the KJV while the NLT again gives a different but at least this time, a similar message.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:...
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. KJV

Philippians 1:6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns....
11 May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ[a]—for this will bring much glory and praise to God. NLT
