He will show him.

John 5:20-21, For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

Jesus was fully human, but with the full measure of the Holy Spirit; “He whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the spirit without measure.” By the power of his perfect sacrifice, he has adopted us as his own: sons and daughters. He offers the gift of the spirit to all who ask, and he has sent us. I know that on my own I can never do any such greater works; I can do all things in Christ only by the power of his Spirit. Am I willing to be guided by his Spirit, with the intention of obeying his voice? Am I quenching his Spirit by being unwilling to obey what he asks me to do?

Give me boldness to obey your Spirit, to bring glory to your name, O Lord.
