His name is "HOLY SPIRIT" third person of the Trinity Godhead, all three in One; Helper, Comforter, Teacher, Friend, and so much more! All that we will ever need, He is!
Knowing the time was nearing for Him to ascend back to His Father, Jesus taught His followers about Holy Spirit He would send back 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."
He continued to teach as noted 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 Jesus tried to prepare His followers that He needed to ascend back to the Father but would not leave them comfortless; He was sending Holy Spirit to lead and guide them into all truths; and Holy Spirit would 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 we (His followers) needed someone continuously to walk with, someone to talk with, and someone to guide us in all truth and only Holy Spirit could do all that and so much more, because He was going to the Father where He would be interceding on our behalf.
We, as His followers, also need reassurance that He is with us wherever we go and in whatever we are doing and Holy Spirit strengthens when we are weak and comforts when we are sad. He is our comforter; guides and brings peace when we are troubled, and as we come to really now Him, He becomes our closest and dearest friend.
Holy Spirit, commonly known as the third party of the Godhead; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit; is in no way the lesser. None is the greater nor the lesser, there is never One without the other, and will never work against the other; all three make up the Trinity Godhead and bring glory 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, Holy Spirit becomes the power we need to walk the pathway of righteousness. Jesus knew and taught that it was vitally important (of the utmost importance) to have Holy Spirit dwelling within us so He could be our Comforter, our Adviser, our Guide, and Helper and the more we come to know Him, He becomes our dearest Friend. He never leaves nor forsakes us but is a most precious gift Who walks and talks with us forevermore.
So often in life we receive gifts but if left unopened we never know what was given. Open up this precious gift Jesus sent from Above and come to know Holy Spirit by walking and talking with Him throughout your day. There is no greater joy, no greater peace, no greater power than feeling Holy Spirit within, guiding you and reminding you that you are never alone.
I find it so amazing that God created this world and all herein and even provided all that was necessary for each of us to walk through this life empowered with His strength and wisdom, if only we come to acknowledge and know Him as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! This is the day the Lord has made; let's rejoice and be glad in it! Enjoy His many blessings, dear friend; God loves you and so do I~~~
