The Helper Is In You
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper
(Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor?Counselor, Strengthener, Standby),
to be with you forever?(John 14:16 AMP).
As a child of God, it’s important to know that
no one, but the Holy Spirit, can and will lead
you into your destiny of greatness. Of course, the
Lord can use people to bless you; but don’t make the
mistake of thinking such people can only be found in
the “palaces” or high places of life.
Think about it: Where was Joseph when he
met the man that introduced him to Pharaoh, and
ultimately, his destiny in Egypt? He was in prison! The
reason God sent him to the prison was because the
man who was to introduce him to Pharaoh would be
coming there too. His life was programmed to go that
way. In the same way, God has programmed your life.
Your life has been predetermined and prearranged by
God. Yours is to follow the guidance and leading of
the Holy Spirit.
Wherever God has placed you, there’s greatness
there for you. Don’t look in the wrong places for help.
In Psalm 121:1-2, David said, “I will lift up mine eyes
unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My
help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven
and earth.” David knew his help wasn’t from man.
He looked to heaven. But you know what? Today, our
help isn’t from above, because the Helper now lives
in us! He’s the Holy Spirit. He left heaven and came
to the earth, to be in us.
Jesus was the Helper when He walked the earth,
but prior to His ascension, He said, “And I will ask the
Father, and He will give you another Helper.” Your
Helper?the Holy Spirit?is in you now. So, don’t look
to the hills for help; don’t look to heaven for help, for
the Helper already came from heaven, to live in you.
As you maintain a rich fellowship with the Holy Spirit,
He’ll guide your steps, and help you fulfil your destiny
in Christ.
Prayer
Dear Holy Spirit, I’m constantly mindful of your indwelling and
abiding presence which has made me a victor and a master
over circumstances. Fears, worries, darkness, confusion
and uncertainty have no place in me. I take advantage of
your presence, and bask in the glory and transformation that it
brings, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
