Need Counsel?
Posted by Pastor Bruce on November 3, 2009
Our knowledge is limited.
However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (COUNSELOR, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. – John 16:7 AMP
Jesus knew that we didn’t know everything that we should that is why He sent the COUNSELOR, the Holy Spirit. If we have been born of His Spirit (Romans 10:9-10) and are filled with His Spirit (Acts 2:4) then we can expect to be in close fellowship with Him – the Holy Spirit. We have a counselor that we have access to 24/7.
We have been asked many questions, by many people, regarding many things and a number of times I have had to say, “I really don’t know that answer.” But we have access to One that knows all things and will show us things to come if we are willing to go to Him, get into His Word and listen for His voice. The Holy Spirit does not go where He is not invited and does not speak unless someone is listening and desires to hear. He is a complete gentleman (never pushing Himself on anyone).
He is available right now if you need counsel…He is our COUNSELOR! Ask Him, He knows.
