Our Powerful Helper

I was studying the Holy Spirit and was reminded that he is called the helper (John 14:26). This is the Greek parakletos; which also means comforter, assistant, supporter, intercessor, advocate and one who is just there to help out and support.

He gives us a prayer language called tongues (Acts 2:4) so he can help us pray when we don’t know how to pray for a situation (Rom 8:26-27). Tongues also edify us and build up our faith (1 Cor 14:4; Jude 20).

The Holy Spirit guides us and directs (Acts 16:6-7) us and reveals Gods word to us (John 14:26). He is the power of God that changes us ever closer to God’s image (2 Cor 3:17-18) and brings life to our mortal bodies (Rom 8:11). The Holy Spirit enables us to be the witnesses God desires us to be (Acts 1:8) and enables us to do even greater works than Jesus did (John 14:12). He spreads Gods love abroad in our hearts (Rom 5:5).

Wow, do we ever need the fullness of Gods Spirit in our lives; and we only have to ask God to fill us with the Spirit and he will.
