Скачать или смотреть John Chapter 16 - The Father’s Timing with Brenda Gray

Timing is everything! The success or failure of an action, opportunity, or event heavily depends on “when” it happens, not just “what” it is, emphasizing that the right moment is crucial for achieving the desired outcome.

It’s about aligning one’s action with external conditions and one’s readiness for them. This is done in the hopes of maximizing the positive impact of the action that is done.

In the natural, good timing often involves intuition, patience, and being aware of the flow of events.

As we will see in John chapter 16, the Father’s “good” timing of sending the Holy Spirit was dependent upon two things; “External” conditions, and the disciples’ “internal” readiness to receive Him.

The external conditions are apparent to us (post-resurrection readers); the crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of the Christ, but for the disciples the things that Jesus would share with them were shrouded in questions, confusion, grief and fear concerning the unknown.

The on-going dialog between Jesus and His disciples created the ideal conditions in the disciples for the coming of the Holy Spirit - “cognitive dissonance.”

The discomfort, anxiety, avoiding asking questions, all signs of cognitive dissonance, would provide a platform of “inner readiness” for the disciples to receive the Holy Spirit and His guidance.

I trust the Father as we continue in our discussion, our hearts and minds are prepared as we receive the Spirit of truth’s guidance into Spiritual revelation and understanding.
