The work of the Holy Spirit: Our Helper and Comforter

 We notice in the Amplified version of John 14:16-18 that the Holy Spiriet is a Comforter, a Counselor, a Helper, an Intercessor, an Intercessor, an Advocate, a Strengthener, and a Standby. v16-18, And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another COMFORTER, (COUNSELOR, HELPER, INTERCESSOR, ADVOCATE, STRENGTHENER AND STANDBY)  that He may remain with you forever, The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him, nor know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you (constantly...) and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans - comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless - I will come (back) to you. If we read what Jesus is saying from these verses, we see we don't need anything more than that. Many believers have missed the reality of what the Holy Spirit can to do in us on a continual basic. To often instead of looking on the inside when we need help, we run around frantically, almost in a frenzy, trying to find someone to pray for us, or lay our heads on their shoulders. Only to find out that those problems are still there when we'll alone, we must learn to look to the inside first. The Holy Spirit will make Jesus and the things of God real to you. And when you need it, He will bring to your remembrance the Word of God that is hidden in your heart (119:11). All that we could ever need is already been placed within us, we need to tap into the greater one in us, but remember this, God can only bring out of us that which is in us, little word, little power, the Holy Spirit always lifts up the Word of God. Jesus has given us the power to be overcomers, as we fill our hearts with the Word of God. God said He would put His law in our "inward parts" - in our hearts or spirits. It is by the Holy Spirit that God's law are written in our hearts. The work of the Holy Spirit is to help you become all that God said you could become, we just have to learn to listen and look to Him and He will glide us. Amen
