KEY SCRIPTURE: John 16:7 KJV” Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”

The Holy Spirit is now in us. He is our Comforter, that is the one called along our side. He is our helper, advocate, intercessor, Counsellor, guide, and teacher. He is also the power of God in us to enable us do all our tasks and overcome every challenge that comes our way. All these virtues of the Spirit in us make us absolutely dependent on Him. We cannot do anything without Him.

The Lord Jesus when He was on earth never did anything without Him. John 5:30 KJV “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” How do we function with Him?

1. We must love and cherish Him, and His presence in us. Some Christians live as if there is no Holy Spirit with and in them.

2. We must have a very strong fellowship with Him. This takes place as we pray and study the Word. We must pray much in tongues. We engage Him a lot when we spend a lot of hours praying in the Spirit.1Co 14:14 KJV “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.” Praying much in the Spirit has a way of developing a sense of quietness in us that makes us sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

3. Talk to Him. Ask Him questions that border you. Ask Him of His will and counsel concerning various things. When studying the Bible ask for His assistance.

4. Remember, He is there to glorify the Lord Jesus. Spend time in worship expressing your love for Jesus. Loving Jesus is loving Him. It is not wrong to say Spirit I  worship you, but that is not His role in us. His presence in us is to help us love the Lord Jesus and to please Him, in all we do.

A good understanding of how to relate to Him is the way to a continuous successful life.

THOUGHT: THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH US TO MAKE SUPERHUMANS OUT OF US, DEPEND ON HIM.
