ANOTHER HELPER

Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments. 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. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:15-18

In other words, a man without the Holy Spirit is an orphan; alone; desolate; comfortless. No one can make it in this journey without the Holy Spirit; it is practically impossible.

The word Helper is from the Greek word parakletos, meaning called to one's aid; an advocate, intercessor, a consoler, comforter, helper. The Holy Spirit is to us an ever present Help; He was given to abide with us forever! Hallelujah.

He helps us in our weaknesses. For me, that's great news, and comforting. Romans 8:26 YLT says, "And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth us, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable."

Receive the Holy Spirit! Be filled with the Spirit, in Jesus' name! Amen.
