“Not Your Job: What the Spirit Actually Convicts.”
from By What Authority · host Raymond Ybarra
In John 16, Jesus doesn’t comfort His disciples — He prepares them. He reveals the Spirit’s true ministry to the world, exposes the religious pressure that’s coming, and clarifies the difference between the Spirit’s work and the disciple’s assignment. In this episode, Raymond Ybarra dismantles traditional misunderstandings about conviction, judgment, righteousness, and evangelism, showing that the Spirit convicts the world of unbelief, Christ’s righteousness, and Satan’s defeat — not the believer. You’ll learn why “reminding the enemy he’s defeated” is unnecessary, why evangelists must stop telling the lost that God is judging them, and how the Spirit forms believers through truth, not condemnation. This is a chapter about alignment, authority, and spiritual clarity — and it will reshape how you see the Spirit’s work in the world and in your life.⭐ LISTENER TAKEAWAY The Spirit convicts the world, not the believer — and He convicts the world of unbelief, Christ’s righteousness, and the defeat of Satan. Your job is not to judge, expose, or convict; your job is to abide, witness, and walk in the victory Christ already won. When you stay in your assignment and let the Spirit stay in His, the world sees Jesus clearly.
