The Holy Spirit Is Your Helper

JOHN 15:26 NKJ

26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
The Holy Spirit's desire and purpose is to help you -- not to hinder you.
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity of God. It is difficult for humans to understand how there can be only one God, as the Scriptures teach, yet He can reveal Himself as three persons. So do not let it be an obstacle for you.
The Holy Spirit is a person, not just a force. He should be treated with the utmost respect and shown the utmost gratitude.
Following are a few of the ways the Holy Spirit desires to help you, and will help you if you allow Him to.
In Prayer
ROMANS 8:26 NKJ 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
One weakness of humans, compared to God, is in our limited knowledge. We do not even know what is happening on the other side of a wall, let alone the other side of the country. We also do not know what people are planning to do, but the Holy Spirit knows everything. And He will help us to pray accurately and effectively.
One way the Holy Spirit helps us in prayer is by giving us utterance in a language for prayer which we have never learned. Thus we can bypass our minds with their doubt and lack of understanding of what is best, and pray according to the perfect will of God.
Guides Us
The Holy Spirit will, if allowed, guide you in every area of life; from the words you should speak, to the spouse you should marry, to the investments you should make.
JOHN 16:13 NKJ 13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you . . . .
SAY THIS: Thank You Holy Spirit that You are my Helper!
