Welcome Holy Spirit! Third person of the Trinity Godhead, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit; all three in one! Helper, Comforter, Teacher, and Friend!
Throughout John 14, 15, and 16 chapters Jesus began preparing his followers that once He ascended back to the Father, He would send back Holy Spirit to abide within them as noted in John 14:26,"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name; He will teach you ALL things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you;" and He continues to teach them in John 15:16-17 "And I will pray the Father and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him for He dwells with you and will be in you" and again in John 16:7, "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you."
Repeatedly throughout the scriptures Jesus tried to prepare His followers that He would not leave them comfortless, and was sending Holy Spirit to lead and guide them in all truths. Jesus knew Holy Spirit could be inside them bringing all things to mind while empowering them to become more than over comers in all things pertaining to Godliness. He knew they would need someone to walk with, someone to talk with, and someone to guide them in all truth; and Jesus knew Holy Spirit would do all that and so much more because He was going to the Father where He would be interceding on our behalf.
We all need reassurance that God is with us wherever we go and is in whatever we are doing. Jesus knew that when we are weak, He is our strength; when we are sad, He is our comforter; when we are troubled, He is our peace! He supplies everything we need to maintain abundant lives with Holy Spirit living within us; and the more we come to know Him the more He becomes our closest and dearest friend. While Holy Spirit is commonly known as the third party of the Godhead; there is never One without the other! None is the greater, nor the lesser of the trinity Godhead, and will never work against the other, but will testify and glorify as ONE Almighty God!
We are all spirits in human bodies and It is Holy Spirit that draws us to Jesus. As we repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, He takes up residence deep within and becomes the power needed as we walk along the pathway of righteousness. Jesus knew it was vitally important to have Holy Spirit in our lives as our Comforter, our Adviser, our Guide, and our Helper while becoming our dearest Friend, so He ascended back into Heaven and sent Holy Spirit to live within each believer. He did not leave us alone but actually sent a part of Him back to each of His believers; a most precious gift in Holy Spirit to walk and talk with us forevermore.
So often in life we receive gifts; but if we leave them unopened we never know what was given. Jesus gave us the gift of Holy Spirit but unless we open up this precious gift from Above and come to know Him, we will never know what He has to offer us in this world. There is no greater joy, no greater peace, no greater power than feeling Holy Spirit stir within us, reminding us that He is forever with us and we are never alone.
It is so amazing that God created this world and all therein and even made provisions necessary for us to walk through this life empowered with His strength and wisdom. Today can be the start of a brand new walk in Him if you just acknowledge Him in all your ways. This is the day the Lord has made, so let's rejoice and be glad in it! Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends; God loves you and so do I~~~
