Help from a real-life superhero
If you watched Saturday
morning cartoons or read
comic books, you know about
superheroes. These defenders
of humanity were very strong
and always showed up in the
nick of time ready to “save the
day!”
But real life isn’t at all like
cartoons. And it’s definitely
more serious than a comic
book. But even though we
may feel like we have no one
to help us in hard times, there
is a superhero we can count on
at all times. Through our faith
in Christ, we have access to
the extraordinary, supernatural
power of the Holy Spirit every
day of our lives.
When we accepted Christ as
our Savior, the Holy Spirit
came to dwell on the inside of
us. That means a lot more than
we can imagine, because He
brought with Him all the
power, the peace and the pres-
ence of God. He came to live
in us and have constant fellow-
ship with us.
Jesus told His disciples in
John 16:7 (AMPC), “I am
telling you nothing but the
truth when I say it is profitable
for you that I go away.
Because if I do not go away,
the Comforter will not come to
you; but if I go away, I will
send Him to you [to be in close
fellowship with you].”

at first was that Jesus was with
them, but the Holy Spirit
would come to live in them.
He is the same Holy Spirit —
Comforter, Counselor, Helper,
Advocate,
Intercessor,
Strengthener and Standby —
who lives in us today. And all
of His authority, strength,
comfort, creativity and help
are available to us as we need
it. All we have to do is ask.
He’s the real-life Superhero
who doesn’t just show up in
the nick of time, but He is
always there. And He is avail-
able to help you right now.
Do you need a Comforter?
In 2 Corinthians 1:3, He is
called the God of all comfort.
When we are hurting, many
times we look to other people
to help us feel better, and
often, we find they don’t have
everything we need.
But the Holy Spirit, who
dwells on the inside of us,
knows us better than anyone
else, so He knows exactly how
to bring the strength, healing
and comfort we need. He will
often use other people to com-
fort us, but we need to turn to
Him first.
Maybe
you
need
a
Counselor. When you have a
problem, who do you tell your
troubles to? People can only
help you to the degree that
God enables them to help you.
But it is amazing what can
happen when we ask the Holy
Spirit for answers to our prob-
lems.
Now, I’m not saying don’t
ever ask people for advice; the
Bible tells us there is safety in
seeking wise counsel. But if
we seek the Holy Spirit first,
He will guide us, either by giv-
ing us the answer directly or
leading us to the right counsel.
Do you need the Helper?
For years, I felt like it was
okay to come to Him with my
“serious” problems, but I did-
n’t want to bother Him with
“small” things. The truth is it
doesn’t matter whether it’s a
serious issue, such as conflict
in a relationship, or something
as simple as fixing your hair in
the morning. God is bigger
than any of our problems and
He cares about everything that
concerns us. The most spiritu-
al prayer we can pray some-
times is simply, “Help me,
Lord.”
How about an Advocate or
Intercessor? The Holy Spirit
prays for us and through us.
The Bible says He not only
intercedes on our behalf to the
Father, but He also helps us to
pray when we don’t know how
or what to pray (see Romans
8:26). And as our advocate, He
is always ready to stand with
us or to defend us. No matter
what, He is always on our side.
Do
you
need
a
Strengthener? It’s the strength
of the Holy Spirit that enables
us to do whatever we need to
do in life. I never start my day
without asking Him to
strengthen
