Holy Spirit-Conviction

Bible Questions Answered:
“Are we suppose to pray for conviction?”
Cody/ Syracuse, New York (U.S.A.)

Bible Answer:

No, and we do not need to because
Conviction, is the work of God The Holy Spirit.

John 16:5-15 NLT (The Holy Spirit)
5 “But now I am going away to the one who sent Me, and not one of you is asking where I am going.
6 Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you.
7 But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, The Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send Him to you.
8 And when He comes, He will convict (KJV Reprove*), the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
9 The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in Me.
10 Righteousness is available because I go to The Father, and you will see Me no more.
11 Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.
12 “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now.
13 When The Spirit Of Truth comes, He will guide you into all Truth. He will not speak on His own but will tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future.
14 He will bring Me glory by telling you whatever He receives from Me.
15 All that belongs to The Father is Mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever He receives from Me.’

*Reprove-Greek: Elegcho (El-eng-kho): To confute, admonish: convict, convince, tell a fault, rebuke, reprove.

Romans 2:14-15 NLT (Conscience Under Conviction-God's Holy Spirit, at work.)
14 Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know His law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it.
15 They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.
16 And this is the message I proclaim—that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone’s secret life.

The Holy Spirit, Brings Conviction:

Psalm 32:1-5 NLT
1 Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!
2 Yes, what joy for those whose record The Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
3 When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.
4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to The Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

Psalm 38:4-8,18,21,22 NLT
4 My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear.
5 My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins.
6 I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief.
7 A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken.
8 I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.
18 But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done.
21 Do not abandon me, O Lord. Do not stand at a distance, my God.
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior.

Psalm 51:1-12,15-17 NLT (Holy Spirit Conviction.)
1 Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.
2 Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.
3 For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night.
4 Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.
5 For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
6 But you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.
7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me— now let me rejoice.
9 Don’t keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.
11 Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.
15 Unseal my lips, O Lord, that my mouth may praise you.
16 You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.

Acts 2:36-39 NLT (Holy Spirit Conviction through preaching The Word.)
36 “So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!”
37 Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive The Gift Of The Holy Spirit.
39 This promise is to you, and to your children, and even to the Gentiles—all who have been called by The Lord our God.”

Acts 16:14 KJV (Holy Spirit Conviction through preaching The Word.)
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshiped God, heard us: whose heart The Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

Acts 24:24,25 NLT (Holy Spirit Conviction through preaching The Word.)
24 A few days later Felix came back with his wife, Drusilla, who was Jewish. Sending for Paul, they listened as he told them about faith in Christ Jesus.
25 As he reasoned with them about righteousness and self-control and the coming day of judgment, Felix became frightened. “Go away for now,” he replied. “When it is more convenient, I’ll call for you again.”

I Thessalonians 1:5,6 KJV (Holy Spirit Conviction through preaching The Word.)
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in The Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of The Lord, having received The Word in much affliction, with joy of The Holy Ghost.

I Corinthians 14:24,25 NLT (Holy Spirit Conviction Through Spiritual Gifts.)
24 But if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin and judged by what you say.
25 As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is truly here among you.”

The Spirit Of God, keeps our lives focused on the things of God.

Romans 8:5-9 KJV
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after The Spirit the things of The Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in The Spirit, if so be that The Spirit Of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not The Spirit Of Christ, he is none of His.

The Spirit Of God, reminds us who we are.

Romans 8:15,16 KJV
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received
The Spirit Of Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself (Him self) beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Galatians 4:6 KJV
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth The Spirit Of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

The Spirit Of God, brings God's people wisdom and insight.

I Corinthians 2:8-10;14-16 NLT
8 But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord.
9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But, it was to us that God revealed these things by His Spirit. For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets
14 But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these Truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what The Spirit means.
15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others.
16 For, “Who can know The Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach Him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.

Ephesians 1:17,18 NLT
17 asking God, The Glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called—His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance
