Luke. 12:11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don't be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say; 12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say."

We never find in the Hebrew writings of the old testament Christ statements made above to his disciples, and all those becoming God's children about Holy Spirit teaching and speaking through them? We find previews of prophets and kings of Israel under the power of God's Spirit, but not all in Israel, why?

Jeremiah 23:16 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Don't listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.

Jeremiah 31:34 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh; for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

The laws of God given to Israel was inculcated into each member of Israel starting at birth, it was not a matter of choice, but a command from God that each member of the nation of Israel be taught the law by parents and teachers of Israel. Such training was, and still is, through human teaching efforts, for the training of the fleshly mind. It was, if you believe your bibles, just a shadow of the reality, a picture, of a time when God would personally teach each one his words, by Holy Spirit gloriously to his children.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

The physical nation of Israel stayed with the human teaching of God's word through their teachers, empowering them with authority, Christ on the other hand stripped such power and authority by his Kingdom. No longer were God's sheep to wander, being led astray by various whims of teaching from human wisdom and emotions, based upon their fears at the time within the teacher. None would have to doubt if the teaching were from God, or man any longer.

2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Ezekiel 34:10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them

Sadly, the condition of spiritual Israel did not last long, soon weeds choked out the wheat, and yeast corrupted the kingdom of God on earth. This corruption lead right back into direction and inculcating of God's word by men empowered by human authority to teach the word of God to their flocks. Massive institution of religion spring up, and central power was used to enslave millions into false religion removing the idea, or even the thought of God teaching his children personally from his Holy Spirit.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

John 7:39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

Many of these religious organization have boldly claimed to be God's kingdom upon earth, oppressing and demanding obedience to their teachers boasting as speaking for God. In other words, boasting in the flesh, a sin, for those worshiping in Spirit and truth. In fact, the entire scriptures have been put into the hands of fleshly minded men acting like the attorney's of Christ day, the Scribes and Pharisee's. Each word is legalized, codified into a doctrine of belief's created by the power of the fleshly mind. Hence, God's children are found in a great field of weeds, corrupted by these yeast teachings of fleshly mind men.

1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours.

Romans 4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

The thought that Jesus stated as a truth, no longer exist, which is, the Holy Spirit speaks through us, and directs our messages and teachings any longer. Research, education, and a constant inculcation of biblical words has stolen the position of the Holy Spirit. Moreover, the message from the fleshly mind is self-salvation by works of law. The idea of grace, and unmerited kindness, and/or undeserved kindness is but words having no real meaning to those educated by fleshly mind teachers. Works are mandated and enforced by repetitious preaching demanding self-merit be earned through mundane deeds of our flesh.

Romans 3:20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Romans 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

These seeds have spread from group to group for two thousand's years now teaching that it is self-effort to enter into the kingdom of God and it will be their efforts that restore pure religion upon earth. All such teaching fade away when there is a turning to God, the Spirit, who demands exclusive devotion. One should not flatter the power of flesh, that is, dead to God because of sin. One should not contradict the power of Holy Spirit when Christ died to set us free from such enslavement of the flesh.

1 Corinthians 6:16 Or don't you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, "The two," says he, "will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24}
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

Galatians 3:5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
