Greetings in the Name of Jesus !
My name is Robert Haymes. My wife Darlene and I serve the Lord Jesus Christ together here in the Dallas, TX area. I met Jesus in 1976. I received Him as my Lord and Savior then in Estes Park, Co. I was baptized in the YMCA swimming pool and started walking with Jesus. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit shortly thereafter. I went into business as a remodeling contractor in 1980, and retired in 2020. The Lord Jesus has been with me all these years and He is with me now. He recently changed the whole direction of my life and told me to start this 15 minute program and serve Him full time in the Word of God and prayer. My whole purpose in doing this program is to receive from the Lord the words He gives me, and share them with you by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, The Words I speak, they are Spirit and they are life. It is my sincere desire to do the same: to speak the Word of God to you by the Holy Spirit, and if you can receive it , it will be life and edification to you.

Why The Holy Spirit Is Given
Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)
Thank you Father, in Jesus’ name; thank you for this day. Thank you for this program, Father, that you have given me by your Holy Spirit for your people. Thank you Father, praise God.
Today's program is called, Why The Holy Spirit Is Given. We’re going to go to John 16:7, Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 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. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. John 15:26, But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 14:26, But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
Let’s go to John 8:31, Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered Him, We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, You will be made free? Jesus answered them, Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin (practices sin) is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Rom 6:16, Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? Rom 7:6, But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Let’s go to Rom 8:1, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
The Holy Spirit is not given so that you can be a super-spiritual person. He is given to lead you and to guide you into all truth. But you must yield to Him. He will lead you, in the time of trial and temptation, if you will yield to Him, to crucify your flesh, with the affections and lusts, and to keep the commandments of Jesus, the Word of God, in the situation. This is why He is given. The purpose of His gifts is the edification of the body of Christ, and to build yourself up on your most holy faith: faith in the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus, that you may overcome the flesh, the world and the devil; the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. You must overcome these things; you must be cleansed, delivered and sanctified, to become the person God created you to be; to fulfill His purpose in your life. I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.
All things decently and in order, not confusion and wickedness. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. He will lead you into all truth as you continue steadfastly in the Apostles’ doctrine, not moved away from the hope of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit is truth and is no lie! The only way you can continue in His Word is with the Holy Spirit teaching you and guiding you. 1 John 2:27, But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing (the Holy Spirit) teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
The Holy Spirit will lead you in prayer, in tongues and in your native language, what you need to pray. He knows what is coming; He knows what you need; He knows where you need to be; He will guide you in the scriptures, and as you yield to Him, He will enable you to overcome, reaching forward to that which is before; building yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keeping yourself in the love of God. If you love Me, Jesus said, keep My Words. We must overcome sin, the flesh, and the devil, if we are going to be accepted of God. Don’t believe the false prophets that are everywhere, promising you liberty when they themselves are the slaves of corruption.
Jesus said, in Mat 7, let’s go there, verse 21, Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!
We must believe the love that God has toward us and receive it into our hearts, as we believe the Gospel, believing and understanding how much He loves us, that He, the Father, would give His only begotten, beloved Son to suffer so much for us, to deliver us and save us from all the things that separate us from Him: the sin which so easily besets us, that we may be washed and cleansed through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus and His shed Blood, and enter into fellowship with Him and with His Son and with one another, as we walk in the light, confessing our sins, being forgiven, and forgiving and loving one another. It is a total abomination to teach that Jesus paid it all so that the sins in my life are covered, past, present, and future, and therefore sin is not imputed to me, because of what He did. He suffered so much to take those sins away!, even the very conscience of sins, so that we could overcome, through repentance and faith toward Him, and walk in holiness, without spot! He is not coming back to this Earth to receive some whore for a wife, No! He is coming back for a spotless, holy, beautiful bride, who has been washed and purified; who loves Him and obeys Him with all her heart. Holiness, without which no man or woman will see the Lord! The Holy Spirit is holy, and He will make you holy, as you learn to yield to Him and follow Jesus, in the Word of God, doing the will of His Father. They that are led by the Spirit of God are the sons and daughters of God.
If you have been born from above; you have believed in Jesus, and confessed Him Lord of your life, you need to be baptized in water for the remission of your sins, and then you need to be baptized by Jesus in the Holy Spirit. Let’s go to Mat 3:11, John the Baptist said, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. You say you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, and you speak in tongues, and you have done all these things, well, are you denying yourself every day, as Jesus said, taking up your cross and following Him? Are you being broken of your self-will and rebellion, learning to yield to the Holy Spirit as He leads you in Jesus? Or, are you doing your own will every day, and asking God to bless you. Are you submitted, truly submitted in love, to your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as He leads you by His Holy Spirit to do the Father’s will? No, you cannot live after your flesh and go to Heaven because you have been born again. That is the lie! The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, and you must love the truth and obey it if you are going to be with Jesus in His Kingdom. Remember, we read in Rom 8:13, For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
