If ye love me.

"If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" (John 14:15, 16 KJV). We are in need of more of the Great Comforter, the Holy Spirit. Jesus has sent us the very presence of His Spirit down here to Earth, that He may guide us, teach us, and lead us into a pure and holy life. The Holy Spirit is not to be taken for granted or lightly, but its' purpose is to love and to be a witness for Christ Jesus inside each and everyone of us who believes. When the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost, 120 people in the upper room were transformed by its' fire, renewed through the fire, and were instantly ready to go and be witnesses for Jesus Christ unto the world. The Holy Spirit brings power. It brings so much power that it breaks the chains of bondage and sets the captives free from the sin, addictions, and demonic possession, and it begins to renew the heart of the very individual that it touches. The Holy Spirit is the true presence of God, and the Holy Spirit is as close as we will get to the Lord's presence here on earth. God moves through and by the Holy Spirit, but so many people have shied away from the Spirit of God. So many people try to find other ways to gain victory, but life comes only through the Holy Spirit. "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). We are only helpless and hopeless when we do not have the life of the Holy Spirit living within us. He's our guide, our teacher, our intercessor, our helper, and our standby at all times. God bless you. Amen
