“Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.” John 16:7 so says Jesus to His disciples.
Jesus sends us the Holy Spirit to work through us. He is the Helper, the one who convicts us of our sins, gives us the faith to believe and gives us the words to say when we need them.
Jesus saves us, to use us; that’s why He left us, so He could send us the Holy Spirit so He could work through us!
“Then they returned to Jerusalem… And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room… all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication,” Acts 1:12-14
The disciples spent days in that room praying to receive the Holy Spirit that Jesus had promised to send and when He came they added 3,000 people to this new Christian faith! Couldn’t we set aside a short time to pray every day if we really want the Spirit of God to work in and through us?
God doesn’t ever break His promises; Jesus said the Helper would come and when the disciples prayed He did come.
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23
