The Comforter

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

John 14:17 "The world cannot accept Him (The Spirit of truth), because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you." 

We all need the support of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He satisfies our thirsty spirit, heals our broken hearts, comforts us in our concerns, leads us through uncertainty and empowers us to engage the enemy with God’s word and prayer. The Spirit supports us when we lack the support of another. He lives within us to be with us.

The path to receiving the Spirit’s support is belief, love and obedience. We believe in the cross and resurrection of Christ. We love Christ and we obey Christ. This trilogy of attitude and action on our part sets us apart to experience the fullness of the Spirit. 

Whatever you need right now, the Holy Spirit has. If someone or something has stolen your joy, ask the Spirit to fill you with joy. If you need comfort, the Spirit will console you like a concerned care giver. If you need understanding on an issue He will teach you as you study holy Scripture. He helps you with whatever you need. He comforts, convicts and leads!
