“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” John 14:16-17 (NIV)
We look again at what Jesus said to his disciples in the hours just before his arrest, trial and crucifixion. We find a wonderful promise which given to the 12 disciples has also been given to us. All who believe and have accepted Jesus Christ's offer of forgiveness and eternal life have received the Holy Spirit who will be with us forever. We are aware of His presence because He lives in us and is with us. Those who do not believe are unable to have this blessing until they do choose to believe. Let us be sure to have open ears and receptive hearts to hear what the Holy Spirit says to us, He is the Spirit of Truth and he acts on our behalf even praying to the Father for our needs.
