John 14:16 says... "And I will ask the Father; and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever". Another helper in this life? Isn't it a good feeling to know that you have a helper here? A Helper who lives within you and talks to you? One who convicts and convinces you concerning daily life?
This is a tough life to live without any help. Especially as a Christian. We are constantly being challenged by Satan to "break fellowship" with the Father, and we have the Holy Spirit who resides within us to help us overcome the schemes of the devil.
Verse 17 explains that the world cannot receive this Holy spirit because it does not behold Him or know Him. But,! We know Him and he abides in us. Praise God for His wonderful gift.
Finally, in verse 19 it says... "After a little while the world will behold Me no more, but you will behold Me; because I live, you shall live also". Does that sound anything like what America is facing today? Curious to see what is happening in America today as it relates to Christianity and it seem to fit perfectly within this verse.
Cherish the Holy Spirit within you and allow Him to be your daily Helper.
