READ: JOHN
7:45-46
The Holy
Spirit behaves exactly like our Lord Jesus Christ. They even share similar
names and titles such as Comforter, Teacher, and Guide. When we gather in the
name of Jesus Christ, although we may not see Him, we can feel His presence. In
John 3:8, Jesus says the Holy Spirit moves with the wind therefore the only
place He may not be present is where there is no air. Be assured beloved, you
are not alone. The Holy Spirit is with you wherever you go.
In John 14:16-18, Jesus appreciated our need for someone to take His place after He would have gone. In fact, that person should be able to continue and complete His plan and purpose for us, and abide with us forever. Hence He promised to send the Holy Spirit. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. He dwells inside you. Whenever God wants to talk to you, He speaks through the Holy Spirit who is in you thereby keeping the conversation private.
The word ‘Comforter’ is translated to mean ‘Instructor, Teacher, Monitor, Advocate’ etc. Jesus Christ was a Teacher (Matthew 23:7-8) but beyond this, He was a Teacher of teachers (Rabboni) according to John 20:16. Testifying of His teaching prowess, some officers of the chiefs priests and Pharisees sent to spy on Jesus, returned saying “Never man spoke like this man” (John 7:45-46). The Holy Spirit, like Jesus, is another Rabboni, Teacher of teachers. There are mysteries and deep truths buried in the Scriptures which you cannot fathom or comprehend by your limited wisdom or ability.
In fact, in several difficult passages, your pastor may not be able to help you. But if you let the Holy Spirit, He will reveal them to you. After my conversion, I had several questions such as; Why did God plant the forbidden fruit in Eden when He knew Adam and Eve would eat the fruit? When they ate the fruit which He knew they would, why did He get angry and send them out of the Garden? I did not bother to ask anybody. I asked the Holy Spirit and He answered me satisfactorily. What are the questions disturbing you which none can answer? Ask the Holy Spirit. He will give you all the answers in every subject under Heaven. Ask Him today.

HEBREWS 10:23 –Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for He is faithful that promised;)
