The Holy Spirit is Our Helper
One thing that the Lord has been graciously chiseling me on is self-feeding via the Holy Spirit instead of being fed primarily from men. I have struggled in the past with making the Scriptures primary in my life as the main source for feeding my soul. Sadly, God’s spoken Word has just been supplemental to sermons, blogs, and books. The following verse struck me:
John 14:16-17
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and gwill be in you.
Jesus is saying, I am going to ask the Father. Do you believe that he has asked FOR us?
Jesus then says, the Father WILL give you another Helper, aka the Holy Spirit. If you know the Father, do you believe that the Father has given you the Spirit?
John 16:13
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
“The Spirit of truth will guide us into all the truth”. Let us sit humbly at the feet of the Spirit of truth to guide us into all truth. This is an act of submission and a great place to render a tender heart unto God.
