The coming of the Holy Spirit — The HolySpirit

John 16 The Helper

What a blessing to read this chapter and to ponder the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Helper whom Jesus promised to those who believe in Him. Although at this point He had not been given, but on Pentecost He will come and indwell each believer. He will teach everything and bring to mind what Jesus taught. Do you know Him? Is He dwelling within you? Once saved, He comes and lives within us so that we may truly believe and learn from Him the all things that Jesus taught.

He speaks to our heart, He recalls the words of our Savior. What a blessing to be a believer and to know these truths.

The question remains: Do you know Him? Is He living within you? Are you listening to His voice? Are you following Him just as the disciples followed Jesus?

Psalm 108-109 God is our Helper

We live in a world where the spiritual forces against us are strong and powerful. Paul noted it well. “ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. [Eph 6:12] It was the same when the OT was written. King David, recognized the enemies around him,some were physical and tangible, but others were spiritual, just as we face. David’s prayer is one we can incorporate. Wisely David says and we can say, without God’s help, they cannot be conquered. Notice his understanding and prayer: “Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile, By God’s power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.’ [PS 108:12,13]

What enemies are around you today that are physical but others unseen yet real. Who will you depend on, God or man? David recognized that truth, how about you?
