A perfect example of this is for those who really study Bible in order to get it really worked and assimilated into their minds and spirits. What you will find start to happen if you are willing to spend some quality time to get Word soaked into you - is that Holy Spirit will bring back up to your memory appropriate Scripture verses when you may need them on spot when preaching or talking to others about God and Jesus. You'll literally see these verses float right up out of your spirit in front of your mind's eye right at moment that you will need them. This is literally a supernatural transmission of knowledge direct to your mind by Holy Spirit Himself!

Not only can Holy Spirit do this with Scripture verses - but He can also do this with any other bits of knowledge that He may want to give to you. He can give you His words of knowledge and wisdom all day long on whatever else you may need His help on. That is why Holy Spirit is called "the Helper" in second verse above. The Holy Spirit cannot help you unless He is able to transmit words of knowledge and wisdom to you as you will need them.

The last verse says that not only will Holy Spirit be our Helper and our Teacher - but that He will also be our Guide in this life. Think about those three words - Helper, Teacher and Guide! This is a powerful three-fold ministry that Holy Spirit has with each born again believer.

If you are out committing adultery behind your spouse's back, literally breaking one of God's ten commandments - then chances are, God will not be imparting much of His revelation and knowledge to you since you are living in an obvious sin. If you are out committing this type of sin against God, then you are not showing much of a fear of Him, or else you would never have considered falling into this type of sin in first place. Your actions may be speaking louder than your words.

If you have a true, healthy fear of Lord, then you will not want to tempt your fate and what He wants to do with your life by directly disobeying some of these obvious commandments such as adultery, cheating, scamming others, verbally and/or physically abusing your spouse or your children, holding extreme unforgiveness towards others, etc.

If you have a good healthy fear of Lord, then you will make every effort to try and live your life right and stay out of sins that you know will get you in trouble with Him. We are all sinners and none of us is perfect. I believe that there is a certain amount of "slack" with Lord on our own imperfections and some of stupid things that we will do in this life.

However, where some of us will get into trouble with Lord on above two verses is when we blatantly enter into what I call "unacceptable" sins and behavior. And some of sins mentioned above are unacceptable in God's eyes for many of us, and they thus could cause God to pull back on you and what He wants to do with your life.

God will not be mocked! If you don't fear Him and His ways and way He wants you to live this life - then He may just choose to withhold any knowledge and revelation that He may want to impart to you. That is why above two verses are so important for those that would really like to start seeking after knowledge of God for their lives.

God will be more than willing to open up His storehouse of knowledge for you in this life - but only if you are willing to do your part - and your first step is making sure that you have enough of a fear and reverent respect for Him in that you are willing to stay out of some of these unacceptable sins and behaviors.
