THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES EVERYTHING

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”

John 14:26 NLT

TODAY’S THOUGHT

One of the most powerful roles of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer is that of Teacher. Jesus said the Spirit would “teach you everything and remind you of everything I have told you.”

The disciples had spent three years walking with Jesus. They witnessed countless miracles and sat under His teaching day after day. But Jesus knew that once He returned to the Father, they would need help remembering and understanding all He had taught. That help would come through the Holy Spirit.

Let’s take a closer look at how Scripture describes the teaching role of the Spirit:

1. The Holy Spirit Teaches Us All Things

1 John 2:27 says:

“…his anointing teaches you about all things…”

The Holy Spirit’s knowledge is unlimited. He has been present since the beginning—He is part of the eternal Godhead. Because He knows all things—past, present, and future—we can trust Him to guide us in every situation. There is no subject or moment in life beyond His wisdom.

2. The Holy Spirit Teaches Us at the Right Moment

Luke 12:12 reminds us:

“…the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”

When we’re under pressure, facing difficult conversations, or standing in unfamiliar territory, we can trust the Spirit to give us the right words—and sometimes the wisdom to say nothing at all. He’s our Counselor in real time, giving guidance exactly when we need it most.

3. The Holy Spirit Teaches Us the Deep Things of God

1 Corinthians 2:10 tells us:

“…the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

The Holy Spirit doesn’t just explain surface-level truths. He reveals the deep, hidden mysteries of God—truths that cannot be grasped by human intellect alone. Through Him, we begin to understand the heart of God, His character, and His purposes in ways we never could on our own.

A Final Thought

The primary role of the Holy Spirit as our Teacher is to help us understand, remember, and apply the Word of God. He never contradicts Scripture, never speaks anything contrary to what God has already revealed. Instead, He illuminates the Word—helping our human minds and hearts grasp the truth and live it out.
