"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things
that I have said to you."
--Jesus, John 14:26
There is so much that we don't know, so much that we don't understand. But Jesus said, "That's okay. I'm going to give you help!" This He did by sending the Holy Spirit, God's promise to all believers, the indwelling presence of God whom Jesus said would teach us all things, bring all things we have learned to our remembrance, and guide us into all truth. Meaning God will continue to talk to us through His Holy Spirit, if we have ears to hear.
Do you read the Scriptures and come across passages that baffle you? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you the meaning, and He will.
Are you afraid of talking about Jesus because you don't have a good memory about chapters and verses and quotations? Rely on the Holy Spirit in those times, and He will dredge your memory banks for the right things to say. Of course, that means you have to have put it in your mind to begin with. So ready, your Bible, pray for understanding, and depend upon the Holy Spirit to bring it out at the right time.
Do you encounter circumstances and situations in which you are confused and wishful of the truth? The Holy Spirit will guide you into truth, if you will let Him.
The Holy Spirit is our helper in all things. He is God's personal representative in our lives, ever present, all knowing, completely God living and moving and breathing in me. He is the source of life and liberty and knowledge and help. He is God's special gift to every believer, the guarantee of future glory, the one who convicts and convinces, the one who changes lives.
And not only that, Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2:10 that the Spirit reveals to us all the wonders that God has in store for us, because He searches out the deepest things of God so He can show them to us!
