The Holy Spirit works in us similarly to how He worked within Jesus.

John 16:12-14


16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,

to be with you forever, 17even the Spirit of truth… and He will be in you.

The PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit
1 Corinthians 3:16
John 16:7

They didn’t have to go where Jesus was; Holy Spirit would be with them wherever THEY went!

Psalm 139:7-10


The POWER of the Holy Spirit
16 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.”

Paraclete: one who comes beside, or comes alongside.
He is a defender, counselor, advocate, supporter, comforter, advisor, supporter, ally, champion.

His presence and power gives us what we need to live a Godly life and be a witness in the world.

He helps us obey Jesus’ commands.
He bears witness about Jesus.
He guides us in all truth.
He speaks for Jesus.

Luke 11:5-13
His resources become our riches.

Prayer time:
What do you need to live a Godly life?
What do you need to be a witness in the world?
