Brother Sparks emphasizes the significance of the Holy Spirit as the embodiment of light, contrasting it with darkness, which represents Satan's influence. He references scripture, highlighting that God is light and that the Holy Spirit guides believers into truth. The Holy Spirit's role is to bring transparency, purity, and honesty into the lives of Christians, enabling them to reflect God's character. Brother Sparks explains that light is fearless, joyful, and healing, and it cannot coexist with darkness or disease. He illustrates how the early church, filled with the Holy Spirit, transformed from fearful individuals into bold witnesses for Christ. The Holy Spirit's illumination is essential for understanding scripture and fulfilling the church's mission. Brother Sparks warns against the dangers of prejudice, pride, and policy, which can blind believers to the Holy Spirit's work. He concludes by urging Christians to seek a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, allowing His light to shine through them, thereby impacting the world and challenging the darkness.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
