And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
John 14:16-17 NIV
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:26-27 NIV
"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
John 15:26-27 NIV
But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you."
John 16:7-15 NIV
Our friend, counselor, and advocate guides is always with us. He is our best friend who never leaves our side and is always empowering, teaching, and encouraging us to abide in fellowship with our Father and Christ and to walk the path of righteousness. He shares with us what the Father shares with Christ, even future events.
Heavenly Father, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit. I want to grow in my relationship with you and Jesus by growing in my friendship with the Holy Spirit. Jesus, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me through the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, I am your instrument; tune me and play me like a guitar. I want to be near you and allow you to flow through me today. I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
