How to Know What's Going On

He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.
Luke 1:15c

At the sound of Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaped within her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me? When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy."
Luke 1:41-44 NKJV

Elizabeth knew about Mary's pregnancy before Mary told her, even though Mary had only been pregnant for days (see Luke 1:39). How did she know? She surely wasn't showing - there was no baby bump in that short amount of time. If we look back, we know the angel, Gabriel, told Zechariah the priest that his son would be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth. When Mary greeted Elizabeth, John, the baby, leaped within her and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. (Remember, John was already filled with the Holy Spirit.)  The Holy Spirit revealed it to both John and his mother. Mary knew because the Holy Spirit had overshadowed her.

How can we know the mysteries of Scripture unless they are revealed to us? How can they be revealed to us unless the Holy Spirit does the revealing? John 16:13 NKJV tells us, However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. We must know God's Word to be able to fulfill our purpose in being here. We must receive the Holy Spirit to be able to know the depth and mysteries in God's Word. It's how we can know what's going on... 

Prayer:

Father,

          Thank You for sending Your Son to provide our salvation and redemption. Thank You for sending the Holy Spirit to lead us into all Truth; past, present and future. Reveal Yourself to us, Lord, so that we may know the Truth and the Truth will set us free. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
