An Amazing Gift

I will try my new favorite verse again;

John 15:15-17

15- I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master's business.  Instead, I have called you friend, for everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
16- You did not choose Me, I chose you and have appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit - fruit that will last - and so that what ever you ask in My Name, The Father will give you.
17- And this is My command - love each other.

I'm second guessing myself - was that John 15 or John 5?  Well, just so that you know, when I am typing a new post, I do not have access to my previous posts so I cannot check for accuracy until after I have already published this post.

I have been thinking about the implications of no longer being called servants because a servant doesn't know his master's business.  The implication being, we can therefore know The Father's business!  I have several different subscriptions to Heartlight; the verse of the day, studying about the Holy Spirit, praying with Paul, etc. Recently, the discussion about the Holy Spirit reminds me that we can expect to do so much more than our own abilities when we are empowered by the Holy Spirit.  We are promised the gift of the Holy Spirit by Jesus and one of the responsibilities of the Holy Spirit is to bring to our remembrance, everything that Jesus taught.
Today's verse regarding the Holy Spirit reminds me that while the disciples were taught so much regarding God's will and about His Kingdom, Jesus instructed them to wait in Jerusalem until they received the promised gift of the Holy Spirit - meaning; as much as they knew, as prepared as they were, they still could not go forth and share the Good News until they were given the gift of the Holy Spirit to direct them, guide them, help them, empower them, etc.  Where I am struggling to determine with all of this is that it seems to me that knowing God's business may primarily come from His Word - we get the basics there.  But applying that today comes from His Holy Spirit - I mean, knowing His Will for today, the immediate, in any given situation.  I guess I said all of that to say that I think that it is the Holy Spirit that allows us to know The Father's business.  And what an amazing gift that is!
