In our opening scriptural reference, the Lord Jesus called the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. This is profound because in John 17:17, the Lord demystified Truth saying, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth". He tells us that His word is Truth. Earlier on, He had auto-declared, "I am the Way, Truth and Life…" (John 14:2). This shows you the oneness of the Spirit and Jesus and the Word. The Holy Spirit takes things from Jesus, the Truth, and shows us (John 16:14). The Holy Spirit cannot lead you into a different way from Jesus and the Word of God. He can never be in conflict with the Lord Jesus, the word of God made flesh. As the Spirit of Truth, He guides us into all God's truth concerning any subject. The world may present you facts about various subjects but it's only the Holy Spirit that gives you the Truth about them. The Holy Spirit also knows the right way you must take at all times. He is your absolute advantage to live in God's perfect will. He fully knows God's destiny for your life. With the Holy Spirit, no child of God should miss their way.

The Lord Jesus told us the devil is a native liar and father of it (John 8:44). Satan thrives on deception. The Holy Spirit equips you with truth and that gives you the edge over satanic deception. With truth you overcome deception, just like with light you overcome darkness. This shows you that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is pivotal for your victorious walk above the deceptive strategies of the enemy. The Holy Spirit works with the Word to fully equip you in truth. You can't comprehend the Spiritual word of God except by the Holy Spirit.

When you walk in truth the Lord rejoices. 3rd John 1:4 shows Apostle John's joy which mirrors God's excitement over His children, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth". God prizes highly His Truth. When you walk in Truth you have dominion over evil schemes. God designed us to manifest His truth in our world (2 Corinthians 4:2). We are called to demonstrate God's truth beyond facts. This rests in the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Treasure the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life, you will walk in Truth. When you walk in Truth, you don't chase shadows.
