The Fruit of the Holy Spirit (3 of 4)
Series: Revealing the Truth of the Holy Spirit
Lenny Ports
John 14:16
This is now the third installment in our series ''UNCOVERED: Revealing the Truth of the Holy Spirit.'' On week 1, we uncovered the truth that the Holy Spirit is not a New Testament phenomenon, but He is a Person, the third Person of the Trinity, and His presence has no beginning and no end. He was present with the Father and the Son at creation, in Genesis chapter 1, and throughout the Old Testament we see the Holy Spirit coming upon individuals empowering them to do supernatural acts of faith for the glory of God. Last week, we saw how the Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power in the church, coming as the Promise of the Father, and endowing God's people with supernatural gifts. The Book of Acts reveals the works of the Holy Spirit through the Apostles doing what they could have never done on their own. To reiterate, the main reason that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us is because He didn't want us to have to do it alone! He sent His Spirit to be our HELPER.
Through God's amazing grace and love for you, He promised to send you a Helper that would partner with you every day and in every situation. He wants you to recognize His role in your life and to place your total dependence on Him.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.
When we simply ask, the Holy Spirit will come to abide with us and fill us with His power. If we don't open our hearts to the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus has made available to us, we will live powerless lives. Yes, we will be saved. Yes, we can be good bible scholars, but we will constantly struggle with the pull of the old nature.
The word Helper here means: summoned, called to one's side, called to one's aid, one who pleads another's cause before a judge, a counsel for defense, an advocate, a counselor, an intercessor.
