HOLY SPIRIT\u2019S PERSONALITY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, let\u2019s look at the wonderful ways in which the Holy Spirit totally takes care of us, if we will let Him.\u00a0 He never forces Himself upon us.\u00a0 He waits for our yielding to Him.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit of God is many-faceted.\u00a0 He is our Comforter.\u00a0 He is our Helper.\u00a0 He is our Counselor.\u00a0 He is our Intercessor.\u00a0 He is our Advocate.\u00a0 He is our Strengthener.\u00a0 He is our Standby.\u00a0 He is our Truth.\u00a0 He is our Peace.\u00a0 He is the One Who brings all things to our remembrance when we need it.\u00a0 We see all of this in scripture, particularly in John 14, 15, 16 and 17<\/strong>.\u00a0 Read those four chapters again and see what Jesus has to say about Himself, about the Father and about the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 These 4 chapters give us the guide for our relationship with God, of knowing Him intimately.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Comforter.\u00a0 To comfort means to strengthen, to support the person, particularly during distress or danger, to cheer or enliven, to encourage, to strengthen the mind when depressed or enfeebled, to relieve from depression or trouble.\u00a0 A comforter is one who brings consolation to you when you need to be encouraged and lifts you up from the place where you find yourself.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Helper.\u00a0 This one is pretty self-explanatory.\u00a0 He comes to give assistance to us to accomplish whatever we are doing.\u00a0 He helps us to do what we need to do.\u00a0 He is there for us.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Counselor.\u00a0 Yes, we do need Him to give us instruction, direction, advice and recommendations.\u00a0 We need His input.\u00a0 He tells us what is the best way, and He is always right.\u00a0 He never makes a mistake.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Intercessor.\u00a0 Because of the blood of Jesus, He stands in the gap and pleads our case before the Father.\u00a0 He brings reconciliation for us when we mess up.\u00a0 He presents us before the Father as pure and clean because of the sacrifice of Jesus.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Advocate.\u00a0 An advocate is very similar to an intercessor.\u00a0 He pleads our cause before the Father.\u00a0 He supports us and pleads in our favor.\u00a0 He shows reason why we should be supported and accepted in the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Strengthener.\u00a0 We need His strength to grow strong and then to grow stronger and stronger as we continue our walk with the Lord.\u00a0 We cannot do it in our own human strength or effort.\u00a0 It is all about Him.\u00a0 We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Standby.\u00a0 He stands alongside us at all times to take care of us, to let us know that He is there to bring us forward successfully on our path of life toward our final destiny.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Truth.\u00a0 Nothing false will deceive us as long as we yield to Him and God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 He shows us the true reality of God and His Kingdom as being the only way.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our Peace.\u00a0 Wow, do we need this in the world right now.\u00a0 In God\u2019s Kingdom, peace encompasses everything that makes us whole and free.\u00a0 It is freedom from this world\u2019s trigger points like fear, anxiety, doubts, upsets, etc.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance everything we need to know and to do, so that we may live a successful life, carrying out God\u2019s plan that He has given us to accomplish while we are here on this earth.<\/p>\n

My prayer for you is that you will come to know the Holy Spirit intimately as your best friend and the One in Whom you can put your confidence.\u00a0 He is God here right now in you to love you and take care of you.\u00a0 Seek His Presence.\u00a0 God is such a loving and giving and good God<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
