There's a terrible idea of Christianity among those traditionals and doctrinal believers. Their observance and religiosity turn to be annoying and vexing. There's no room for the Holy Spirit, the Advocate to manifest.
We should remember always this gospel today as a Charismatic appointment.
"When the Holy Spirit comes... they will expel you from the holy places or from the religious groups...
* IN FACT, THE HOUR IS COMING or it arrived already,
* WHEN EVERYONE WHO KILLS YOU (who will persecute you) WILL THINK HE IS OFFERING WORSHIP TO GOD.
When this moment will come, surely it will remind the words of Jesus. His words that He made clear on this gospel today will be a proof that the Holy Spirit is working.
- - - The Spirit of truth that I will send you from the Father, he will testify to me and you also testify! - - -
Testifying is to give proof of the love of God, which is not just a verbal narration. Some confused it to preaching or telling people of what God has changed in their life. Testifying is also a spiritual attitude, a kind of an interiorized truth. Living a life that allows people to see the love of God despite of all the odds and the hardships; it's not just a feeling but a certainty of God's concrete love.
The sign that the Holy Spirit is working in your life is that when we encounter hostilities and persecutions. When your love and your passion to the word of God give hatred and bitterness to those people who surround you; especially from those who suppose to give love to you. From those people who are religious especially.
For a better example read your Bible. Start from the Acts of the Apostles.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 15,26-27.16,1-4a.
Jesus
said to his disciples: "When the Advocate comes whom I will send you
from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he
will testify to me.And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.I have told you this so that you may not fall away.They
will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when
everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God.They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you."
