There are many Christians who will claim that all sorts of things have been revealed to them by the Holy Spirit, but St. Innocent of Alaska explains what the Holy Spirit really shows us:

But when the Holy Spirit dwells in the heart of a person, He shows him all his inner poverty and weakness, and the corruption of his heart and soul, and his separation from God; and with all his virtues and righteousness. He shows him his sins, his sloth and indifference regarding the salvation and good of people his self-seeking in his apparently most disinterested virtues, his coarse selfishness even where he does not suspect it. To be brief, the Holy Spirit shows him everything as it really is.

"Thank you very much for your broadcasts. Ancient Faith Radio is a great blessing and doing a great work. I myself have been listening to it nearly every day since connecting to the internet about a year ago. It has been a great help to me spiritually. Though I was an Anglican, I had been very interested in Orthodoxy for many years. Last year I was happily received into the Orthodox Church after an English-speaking parish started in our town."
