Galatians 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

What is the tenure of the Holy Spirit as our tutor? What is this appointed time?

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

God only knows.

I am sixty-nine years old, have been walking with the Lord for decades and I am in more need of Him today than ever before. If His role were but to teach me only the language of faith, we would have parted a long time ago. This faith language gives me the ability to hear and see God through the power of the Holy Spirit. What good does the knowledge of language do any of us if we have no one to talk with?

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

While I consider myself lucky to have soared to some heights, I am breathless on the side of the mountain and the heavens are yet so much higher above me. I have a long way to grow. We never grow so old as to not need our tutor. His tenure is everlasting.

Have you noticed we have spent eighteen days this year endeavoring to discover this God speech, this language of faith, our ability to hear and see God, and have learned nothing yet but the primer?

I’ve used this term a few times now in relationship to our learning this God speech, perhaps it would be helpful to examine this primer.

Galatians 4:1-2 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

Having a tutor makes me feel like I have a learning dissability. If you are a parent and had to hire a tutor you know you are doing what is best for your child. Yesterday we spoke about the milk of the word, a healthy appetite and growing in Christ. Today I will speak to you about our tutor.

Jon 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 Ghost, the Holy Spirit, is the third person in the Trinity of God. He is God. This tutoring is so important to God that He takes on the responsibility Himself. He is infallible, He is perfect in every way, He will not fail you.

Over the years I have heard repeatedly: “I don’t get it.” “I don’t understand.” “It is too complicated.” Those comments come from one single source, the enemy, Satan.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

When we believe the lies of the enemy it produces doubt, fear and ambiguity. I can’t and I don’t are the lies the enemy has placed on you and you need to push them aside and believe God.

John 14:15:18 If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
