The promise/gift of the father #12
--:--
Mashadi Mathosa teaches about the Holy Spirit as the promised gift of the Father. In light of 1 Timothy 4:1, where it warns that "some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits," she emphasizes the importance of being grounded in the Word of God. These false teachings often come through hypocritical liars, and without being filled with the Word and equipped with the sword of the Spirit, believers become vulnerable to such deception. Mathosa stresses that the Word of God is essential in safeguarding one's faith and discerning truth from falsehood. The holy spirit bears fruit in a life of a believer.
