Holy Spirit's Personality

Today, let’s look at the wonderful ways in which the Holy Spirit totally takes care of us, if we will let Him. He never forces Himself upon us. He waits for our yielding to Him.

The Holy Spirit of God is many-faceted. He is our Comforter. He is our Helper. He is our Counselor. He is our Intercessor. He is our Advocate. He is our Strengthener. He is our Standby. He is our Truth. He is our Peace. He is the One Who brings all things to our remembrance when we need it. We see all of this in scripture, particularly in John 14, 15, 16 and 17. Read those four chapters again and see what Jesus has to say about Himself, about the Father and about the Holy Spirit. These 4 chapters give us the guide for our relationship with God, of knowing Him intimately.

The Holy Spirit is our Comforter. To comfort means to strengthen, to support the person, particularly during distress or danger, to cheer or enliven, to encourage, to strengthen the mind when depressed or enfeebled, to relieve from depression or trouble. A comforter is one who brings consolation to you when you need to be encouraged and lifts you up from the place where you find yourself.

The Holy Spirit is our Helper. This one is pretty self-explanatory. He comes to give assistance to us to accomplish whatever we are doing. He helps us to do what we need to do. He is there for us.

The Holy Spirit is our Counselor. Yes, we do need Him to give us instruction, direction, advice and recommendations. We need His input. He tells us what is the best way, and He is always right. He never makes a mistake.

The Holy Spirit is our Intercessor. Because of the blood of Jesus, He stands in the gap and pleads our case before the Father. He brings reconciliation for us when we mess up. He presents us before the Father as pure and clean because of the sacrifice of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is our Advocate. An advocate is very similar to an intercessor. He pleads our cause before the Father. He supports us and pleads in our favor. He shows reason why we should be supported and accepted in the Kingdom of God.

The Holy Spirit is our Strengthener. We need His strength to grow strong and then to grow stronger and stronger as we continue our walk with the Lord. We cannot do it in our own human strength or effort. It is all about Him. We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

The Holy Spirit is our Standby. He stands alongside us at all times to take care of us, to let us know that He is there to bring us forward successfully on our path of life toward our final destiny.

The Holy Spirit is our Truth. Nothing false will deceive us as long as we yield to Him and God’s Word. He shows us the true reality of God and His Kingdom as being the only way.

The Holy Spirit is our Peace. Wow, do we need this in the world right now. In God’s Kingdom, peace encompasses everything that makes us whole and free. It is freedom from this world’s trigger points like fear, anxiety, doubts, upsets, etc.

Finally, the Holy Spirit brings everything to our remembrance that we need to live a successful life, carrying out God’s plan that He has given us to accomplish while we are here on this earth.

My prayer for you is that you will come to know the Holy Spirit intimately as your best friend and the One in Whom you can put your confidence. He is God here right now in you to love you and take care of you. Seek His Presence. God is such a loving and giving and good God.
