Rhapsody of Realities

The Holy Spirit—Our Indispensable Helper!
Wednesday, November 26th .
Pastor Chris
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you
forever (John 14:16).
The Holy Spirit is an extraordinary gift to us God’s
children (Acts 2:38). He, in the parlance of
computer science, is like the “downloader.” It takes
the Holy Spirit to “download” heavenly files, and
bring heavenly materiality into the human system.
He alone, for example, can help you accept the
virgin birth of Jesus Christ, His sacrificial
death,triumphant resurrection, and His glorious
ascension into heaven. Only the Holy Spirit can
convince you that the blood of Jesus Christ was
adequate for the salvation of humanity. So when
you find that you can understand and accept these
spiritual realities, it means the Holy Spirit has
unveiled them to you; He’s working in your life.
When Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do men say
I am?” only Peter spoke rightly, and said, “Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew
16:16). The Master’s response to Peter was, “…
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and
blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father
which is in heaven” (Matthew 16:17). Peter wasn’t
guessing; he certainly didn’t know this in his head;
the knowledge of who Jesus is was imparted tohim
by the Holy Spirit. There’re no human parameters
that can help you comprehend spiritual realities.
Even in preaching and ministering salvation to
others, you must understand that the Gospel that
we’ve been given and charged to take to the
nations of the world, is a Gospel that can’t be
humanly explained and accepted. Consequently, we
need the Holy Spirit to minister through us, and to
help bring the understanding of the message to
those to whom we minister. His help is inevitable
in everything we do.
Never find yourself doing anything or building
anything by your own natural strength or human
wisdom; it'll fail. Psalm 127:1 says, “Except the
LORD build the house, they labour in vain that
build it....” Perhaps you’re a minister of the Gospel,
don’t try to build the Church by your own strength;
don’t rely on your natural abilities, for that alone
won’t work. Depend on the Holy Spirit. Take
advantage of His glorious ministry in your life.
He’s in you to help you live the triumphant
Christian life and be successful in all that you do,
to the glory of the Father. He’s your indispensable
Helper!
PRAYER
I thank you Father for filling me with the Holy
Spirit, who continually reveals Christ Jesus to me,
and grants me insight into mysteries and secrets of
the Kingdom. I’m mightily helped by Him today to
live triumphantly, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye
shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and
in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth. ;
1 Corinthians 2:10-11 But God hath revealed them
unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what
man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit
of man which is in him? even so the things of God
knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
John 14:16 AMP And I will ask the Father, and He
will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper,
Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby),
that He may remain with you forever.
