And I will ask the Father, and He
will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate,
Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever--
وانا اطلب من الآب فيعطيكم معزيا آخر ليمكث معكم
الى الابد .
John 14:16
In the original Greek the word used to describe the
Holy Spirit is the word Parakletos, or “Comforter.” It suggests the
giving of aid much like a legal counselor or advocate would do.
The sense in which Parakletos is used means “to
come alongside another while giving strength and encouraging support.” The Holy
Spirit is God’s personal representative here on earth. He is the third person
of the Trinity.
Jesus knew the void within the hearts of His disciples
would be great after He returned to the Father. Therefore, God in His greatness
and compassion sent the Holy Spirit to comfort the followers of Christ, and He
is still with us today. He is our Guide to all truth and our personal Advocate
and Comforter before the throne of God.
This is our peace and strength—knowing that whatever
we face, God faces it with us through the Holy Spirit.
I invite you to
repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and deep inseparable love.
Through the Holy Spirit that indwells me as a believer and a follower of Jesus
Christ; my Lord and Saviour; fill me with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy,
peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control. Grant me Lord the Spirit of Wisdom to aspire the things that are
eternal, enlighten my mind to Your divine teachings and fill my heart with Your
divine presence. In Jesus’ name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory, the
majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
