“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall: and he will shew you things to come”. – John 16:13(KJV).
In this verse of scripture Jesus clearly stated the personality of the Holy Spirit by referring to him as he, his and him. The Holy Spirit is a person and in verse 7 and verse 13 Christ introduced other aspects of his personality as the COMFORTER and THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. The Holy Spirit as a comforter will help us to overcome the harshness of life. He will help us to navigate the dangerous routes of life. He will show us the way to go and provide us with a calm spirit and a courageous heart to wade through the storms of life. He will persuasively and lovingly rebrand our person as we yield to him. He is our source of strength. He is our sanctifier and purifier – see Malachi 3:2-3. He has the fan and the fire, he will gather the wheat and burn thechaff – Matthew 3:11-12.
The Holy Spirit is also referred to by Christ as the Spirit of Truth. In John 14:6(KJV) “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me”. As stated in this scriptures Jesus is the Truth and the Holy Spirit is referred to as the Spirit of Truth, by extension that means that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. As the Spirit of Truth he is also the revealer of all things. He is the one that will guide us through the truth, He will reveal to us the wonders in the Word. In 1 Corinthians 2:10(KJV) “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God”. The Holy Ghost will guide us through the word. Every one of us who are believers need the Holy Spirit live a successful Christian life. `Walking with the Spiritin our Christian race removes struggles from our life because as Christ said he (Holy Spirit ) will show us things to come.
Prayer: Sweet Holy Spirit guide and protect me as I navigate through life stormy weather in Jesus Name
