· I am a person who receives God’s instruction and learns from Jesus

Matthew 11:29 AMP

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.

Why does God want you to receive His instruction and learn from Jesus?

WHY GOD?

1. God as a good Father wants you to succeed in every area of life.

1 KINGS 2:3 NET

2 For I give you good doctrine [what is to be received]; do not forsake my teaching.

2. God wants you to live with supernatural discernment of His best and His Good for you!

Matthew 7:11 APBE

If therefore you who are evil know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give good things to those who ask him?

James 1:17 GWT

Every good present and every perfect gift comes from above, from the Father who made the sun, moon, and stars. The Father doesn't change like the shifting shadows produced by the sun and the moon.

But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

1 john 2:27 NLT

27But you have received the Holy Spirit,h and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spiriti teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.

3. The Holy Spirit is in you to teach you, but following, listening and hearing is a process.

John 14:26 DRB

But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.

Parakletos:

· Summoned, called to one's side, called to one's aid to help

· One who pleads another's cause before a judge, a pleader, counsel for defense, legal assistant, an advocate

· One who pleads another's cause with one, an intercessor

John 16:13 APBE

“But whenever The Spirit of The Truth comes, he will lead you into the whole truth, for he will not speak of his own will, but he shall speak whatever he shall hear and he shall reveal the future to you.”

Matthew 11:29 AMP

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.

4. The Holy Spirit will lead you like He led Jesus
