John 14: 26: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." The Holy Spirit energized the hearts and minds of the apostles in their ministry, helping them to produce the New Testament Scripture. The disciples had failed to understand many things about Jesus and what He taught and when He taught it; but because of this supernatural work, they came to an complete and accurate understanding of the Lord and His work, and recorded it in the gospels and the rest of the New Testament Scriptures. It is the Son who sends the Spirit. The Father and Son concur in this sending. All things that they needed to know for their mission would be shown to them. Remember the New Testament Scriptures had not been written yet. They would have to depend on the Holy Spirit to help them remember Christ's teachings and help them communicate that truth to others. Today, we have the completed canon of Scriptures. We depend on the Holy Spirit to illuminate those words to our inner spirit. This is not voices in our heads but as you read and study the Word, He will guide you.
