Every entity has responsibilities
that are manifest in society. The Holy Spirit is no different. He has been
commissioned to do several things; however, I shall focus on only two of them
today.
1. The Holy Spirit
teaches: Jesus spoke to His disciples in John 14:25-26 and told them - “These
things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will
teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I
said to you.”
John 16:12-13 states: “I still have many things to say to
you, but you cannot bear them now. However,
when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His
own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He
will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what
is Mine and declare it to you.
2. The Holy
Spirit intercedes: Romans 8:26-27 tells us that, “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. Now He who searches the hearts knows
what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the
will of God.
I have learned that I am
spiritually ignorant; however, with the fulfilling of the Holy Spirit, God
leads, guides, teaches and intercedes for me in my prayer life. Truly, I am grateful for the work of the Holy
Spirit, in my life and I invite you to accept Him into your life as well.
