"He Will Tell You What Is to Come"

Teacher: Pastor Eddie | Text: John 16

On the last night before the cross, Jesus spent His remaining hours telling eleven men what was coming. He told them plainly: you will weep, you will be scattered, your grief will turn to joy — and no one will take that joy from you.

In this message, Pastor Eddie walks through John 16 and shows how Jesus prepared His disciples emotionally, spiritually, and practically for what lay ahead — then promised that His Spirit would keep doing the same work in every generation after.

Pastor Eddie unpacks the promise of the Counselor, the Father revealed, the scattering Jesus foresaw and forgave, grief that turns into joy, the open door of prayer, and the peace Christ offers in the middle of trouble. Along the way he offers a simple invitation: ask the Spirit for wisdom about the season in front of you — what to prepare for, and whom to pray for.

Bring a pen and paper. Write down your concerns. Then wait and listen. He is speaking, and He is telling you of what is to come.

In this message:

• Jesus, the Counselor — one called alongside
• Jesus reveals the Father
• Jesus on your scattered life
• Your grief will turn to joy
• Jesus stands with the door open
• Jesus offers peace amidst trouble
• "You will see me"

The Parable of the Sower — affliction aimed straight at the word

Pastor Eddie explains how affliction and the word of God collide in the Parable of the Sower. When Jesus describes the seed that falls on stony ground, He names exactly what happens next: affliction rises up "for the word's sake," aimed at choking it out before it can take root. Two Gospel accounts anchor this teaching most clearly — Mark 4 and Luke 8 — because both name affliction and the devil in the same breath, working toward the same goal: keeping the word from bearing fruit.

Mark 4:15–17 — "And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended."

Matthew 13:20–21 — "But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended."

Luke 8:12–13 — "Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away."

In all three accounts, the affliction and the enemy are tied together directly — the trouble shows up "for the word's sake" or "because of the word," and its purpose is to choke belief before it takes root.

The devil as the source of oppression and affliction elsewhere in Scripture

• Job 2:7 — "So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown."
• Luke 13:16 — Jesus describes a woman crippled eighteen years as one "whom Satan hath bound."
• Acts 10:38 — Jesus "went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Healing is framed as reversing the devil's oppression.
• 2 Corinthians 12:7 — Paul's thorn in the flesh is called "the messenger of Satan to buffet me."
• 1 Thessalonians 2:18 — "We would have come unto you… but Satan hindered us."
• 1 Peter 5:8 — "Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
• John 10:10 — "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy," set against Christ, who comes to give life.

Discover His Goodness Today!

Are you facing trouble or feeling overwhelmed? This short prayer will help you stand on God’s promise to be your refuge. He is good. He cares for those who trust in Him. Watch now and be encouraged to trust Him today.

Pastor Eddie teaches on the hidden order Paul reveals in 1 Corinthians 3:21–23 — a method for receiving answers to prayer that Jesus lived out for us. He shows how your authority in Christ flows from union rather than pursuit, how identity settles access, and how that opens the door to an inheritance received without struggle.

Nothing is chased. Nothing is begged for. What God has already declared, given, and blessed belongs to those in Christ. And what is ours but goes unclaimed, God gives to another who will receive it.

What if the greatest treasure ever buried isn't gold, but wisdom hidden for those who dare to dig past the bones? This isn't your usual Bible verse. It's a treasure found through secret wisdom and truths buried in plain sight. Paul hinted at mysteries the rulers of this age couldn't grasp. In this video we reveal how this wealth of knowledge can change your life.

Pastor Eddie teaches on the hidden wisdom of God — what Paul called a mystery kept secret before the ages, revealed now by the Spirit to those who belong to Him. He walks through why the rulers of this world missed it entirely, how that wisdom is uncovered rather than earned, and what changes in a believer's life once it's found.

Are you simply born of the Spirit — or are you also filled with the Spirit?

There's a secret to living in the Holy Spirit that changes everything. If you've ever longed to live with greater boldness, joy, and power, this video will show you how to be filled daily with the Spirit who changes everything.

Pastor Eddie teaches on the two distinct works of God that every believer needs to understand — being born of the Spirit and being filled with the Spirit. He walks through why the second is neither automatic nor passive, what Jesus meant in calling the Holy Spirit a gift from the Father, and how to ask for, wait for, and receive that gift daily.

When we are born of the Spirit, we receive new life in Christ. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we receive power — the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and ignited the early church. Jesus never presented the Holy Spirit as something that simply happens to us. He called Him a gift from the Father, meant to be asked for, waited for, and received.

"How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him." — Luke 11:13

Scripture covered in this study:

• John 14:16–17 — Jesus promises the Helper, the Spirit of truth.
• John 7:37–39 — He invites all who thirst to come and drink, speaking of the Spirit believers would receive.
• Acts 1:4–5, 8 — He commands His followers to wait for the promised baptism of the Holy Spirit.
• John 20:21–22 — He breathes on His disciples and says, "Receive the Holy Spirit."
• Acts 8:14–17 and Acts 19:1–6 — The apostles pray for believers to receive the Holy Spirit after salvation.

Experience His presence. Be filled with His power. Let rivers of living water flow from within you.

God still speaks, but not everyone hears Him. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit teaches believers through God's Word in a way others often miss. This video explains why God's Word — and Jesus is God's Word — comes alive to some and seems silent to others. The difference is not effort, education, or emotion. It is relationship and surrender.

Pastor Eddie teaches on how Jesus carried the DNA of His Father — the very nature, likeness, and character of God expressed in flesh. He walks through what it means that Jesus spoke only what the Father gave Him, did only what He saw the Father doing, and carried that inheritance into everything He said. And he shows how that same family likeness is passed to those born of the Spirit, so that the Word stops reading like a book and starts sounding like a Father speaking to His own.

If you've ever wondered how to receive the Holy Spirit — to have Jesus sit with you daily and explain His Word to you — watch the end of this video:https://youtu.be/_DyAwdBiao8?si=uBH9kUkhX_wH12eh&t=2730

Let the Word come alive. Let the Spirit teach you. Let Jesus meet you in the pages of His promise.
