John14:26, 16:7,13,16a “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 that I said to you.”      “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”      “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”    “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and will be with you forever-the Spirit of truth.”
Galatians 5:2-23,25 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”     “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.”
Romans 8:11 “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.”
Enough books could not be written to exhaust the subject of the Holy Spirit and His role in the life of believers. The disciples were saddened once they came to understand that Jesus would soon be leaving them when He returned to the Father; knowing this, Jesus encouraged them by telling them that God would send them the Helper, Holy Spirit, who would be with them forever; and He would be their counselor and comforter, and He would bring to remembrance all that Jesus had said to them, and He would lead them into all truth. The coming of the Holy Spirit to dwell the lives of believers is no small issue; in fact, Jesus said it was to their advantage that He go away so that the Spirt might be sent to them. It is clear in the scriptures that everyone who trust Jesus as Savior is given the Holy Spirit. For us, we must be sensitive to the work of the Spirit in us and learn to recognize His voice and be able to discern how He is leading us. The Holy Spirit is always directing us to the Father and it is the Spirit who reveals the truth of God’s word to us. It is amazing how as we are reading the scriptures, the Holy Spirit makes them alive and applies God’s word to us personally. One major work of the Spirit is that of revealing to us our true identities as sons and daughters of God. It is important that we read God’s word with an open mind and heart, without preconceived opinions and without personal preferences of what we want the word of God to say; let the word say what it says. We are not to try to change the word or interpret the word so that it agrees with our theology, but are to let the word change us. Much more could be said, but let us thank God for sending us His Holy Spirit to be with us forever, and let us be guided, equipped, empowered, taught, comforted, and inspired by the Holy Spirit who is always at work in us.
Blessings,
Buddy
