The Holy Spirit II
John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper. Jesus in his physical body was seen as a goto person in everything that the disciples needed. When they needed to feed the 5000 and 4000, it was Him. When Peter was broke andhad no taxes, Jesus told him to go get it from a fish. When they were drowning, they cried to Jesus for help and He rescued them. They acted like children before Him.
Surely as long as we are in these bodies with a failed Adamic nature, we are by nature weak and need all the supernatural help we can ever get and the Holy Spirit is there to help us because He knows we are weak. So many people need help, and yet some are aware but do nothing, others are aware and are reaching out to God for help while some are not aware and are not doing anything about it.
If you are aware and are actively reaching out to receive His help, this writing is for you. But somethings need to be made clear right from the start. Know the difference between the Spirit in us and the Spirit with us. The spirit with us is His presence but the Spirit indwelling in us is the ever there and never leaves us. Jesus said I will never leave you nor forsake you. That was the indwelling presence. But the presence with us can be diminished or can leave us. Remember Saul in the old testament!
But you can cultivate the presence of God that is with you and have more of Him all the time. You can have as much of the Holy Spirit with you as much as you desire. Personalise Him. Like Benny Hinn popularised greeting Him every morning, greet Him every morning for He is around you! But whether you know it or not, everybody has a spirit working in and on their lives. Whether it is the Spirit of the Lord or the spirit of the world. It is upon you to walk in the awareness of His presence around you and your life won't remain the same again.
