Call on the Helper

Call on the Helper

It was not my plan to share this piece with the men’s ministry here, but when the urging from the Lord is there, you do as He says.  It was something that I received a week previous to the men’s ministry.   I thought it would be nice to share with you as well.

In John 14:16 it says “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.”

Who is the Helper?  John 14:26 tells us, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

Not only is the Helper and Holy Spirit one and the same, but the Helper will teach us all things and help us remember all that Jesus said to us.  Jesus has sent a Comforter who is just like Him.  The Helper will do in Jesus absence what Jesus would have done if He were physically present with you.  The Helper (Holy Spirit) assures continuity with what Jesus did and taught.

It is rare that believers in the church call on the Helper in their prayer.  Nowhere in Scripture does it say to use the Helper only part-time or not at all.  The Helper was sent so that He would abide with us forever. Why is the Church ignoring this vital part of our walk with God?  We are doing ourselves an injustice by not calling on the Holy Spirit for the battle with:

Warfare

Difficult decisions

Overcoming sin

Temptation

Healing

Rejection

Anger

Despair

Bondages

Attacks from people

Satan

Etc.

Every prayer should include calling on the Helper as we pray in Jesus name to our Father in Heaven.  Immerse yourself in the Word of God and call on the Helper and He will teach you what you need to know to ensure victory over the enemy.  Peace be with you all.

In Jesus Name,
