Holy Spirit – Day 7 – Comforter

Comforter
John 14:16,17,26 “And I will ask the Father, and He will send you another Comforter…the Spirit of Truth…but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things…”
In the early church, there were many that arose and tried to deceive the church. The apostles, being empowered and dependent on the Spirit, discerned what was false teaching, and got rid of it. The New Testament was written because the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, revealed the truth to them.
In this modern-day and age, how much more don’t we need the Comforter? There are so many different religions, cults and doctrines out there threatening to infiltrate the church. It could become quite daunting if one is confused about what is the truth, and what is deception. Confusion brings forth fear in the hearts of believers. However, Jesus promised that the Comforter would teach us the truth. We need not fear. Jesus is the Truth (John 14:6) and the Spirit of Truth is Jesus’s Spirit present in us, constantly teaching, guiding, reminding us.
What a comfort!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for providing a way for me to have constant access to the truth. Thank You that Your Spirit teaches me all things and leads me into all truth. I am dependant upon You, Lord. Amen
