The Holiest of All By Andrew Murray

truths
of the heavenly priesthood of our Lord Jesus, and of our
access into the Holiest of All by the blood, to dwell and worship
there, and there in God s presence to be made partaker of the
full union with Christ, are to be unfolded. Let us seek a deeper
sense of the need, and also the certainty, of the teaching of the
Spirit within us: Let us pray "that the Father give us the Spirit
of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ." Let us
hear God s voice in meekness and tenderness of heart. Let us
in deep humility yield ourselves to the Spirit s guidance. We
can count upon it that the same Spirit who first of old inspired
the words of the Psalm, who then in this Epistle revealed their
fulness of meaning, will reveal to us in power all the light and
truth they are meant to bring into the believing heart.
1. God speaking to us in His word, and In His Son, Is all by the Holy Spirit. Everything
depends upon our right relation to the Spirit.
Let the word be as a seed In which the life of God
dwells. Let us receive the word, in the faith that the Holy Spirit will open It, and make it
work mightily, In us who believe.
2. And as we wait on the Spirit to open the word, we shall through the word be led to and
receive the spirit of heaoen, as the divine seal of our faith in the word.
3. So shall we learn to speak the word In the power of the Spirit. The disciples, however much
they knew of Jesus through His Intercourse and teaching, and as the witnesses of His death and
resurrection, were not allowed to go and preach Him, until they received the Spirit from on high.
The Spirit-breathed word, the Spirit-opened word, must also be a Spirit-spoken word ; we, too,
must speak out of a living communication of the Spirit from the throne of the glorified Christ.
From beginning to end, everything connected with God s word must be in the power of the Holu
Spirit.
