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.
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.
Abba Father, thank You for sending me The Parakletos the spirit of wisdom to aspire the things that are
eternal, and to enlighten my mind to Your divine teachings and fill my heart
with Your divine council, comfort strength and aid. Thank You Father God for
loving me with a deep, unfailing, and everlasting love. Thank You Abba
Father for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace
upon my life. Father God, I praise You, glorify You and lift You up
on high. In the holy name of Jesus, I pray to You. To
Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion
forever and ever. Amen.
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
