A
s born-again believers in
Jesus Christ, we serve a
triune God—Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. In Genesis 1:26
(AMP) God says, “Let Us [Fa-
ther, Son, and Holy Spirit] make
mankind in Our image….” This
verse reveals God as the Trin-
ity, and we need to worship and
have relationship with each Per-
son of the Godhead.
It seems more common to
hear people talk about God and
Jesus, but the Holy Spirit does
not get enough of our attention.
It’s important to understand that
He is a person who has a person-
ality, a will, knowledge, a mind,
and He thinks and knows things.
For example, 1 Corinthians 2:11
(AMP) tells us that “no one dis-
cerns (comes to know and com-
prehend) the thoughts of God
except the Spirit of God.”
In John 16:7 we learn some
of the facets of His personality
and how we need Him to work
in our lives. In this verse Jesus
says, “…If I do not go away, the
Comforter (Counselor, Helper,
Advocate, Intercessor, Strength-
ener, Standby) will not come to
you [into close fellowship with
you]; but if I go away, I will
send Him to you [to be in close
fellowship with you]” (AMP).
This scripture teaches that He
is our…
Counselor—always go to
God fi rst for counsel and let
Him speak to you His way,
through the people or things He
chooses.
Advocate—He pleads our
case when we’re in trouble.
Intercessor—He prays for us
and through us when we don’t
know how to pray on our own.
Standby—He stands by us,
ready to act on our behalf when
we need something.
Strengthener—He gives us
God’s grace to do whatever we
need to do in every situation.
He’s all these things and so
much more! God is literally ev-
erything we need, and as we fel-
lowship with the Holy Spirit, we
can have “the mind of Christ…
and…hold the thoughts (feel-
ings and purposes) of His heart”
(1 Corinthians 2:16).
Learn the sound of His voice
The Holy Spirit is the only
One who fully knows the mind
of God, so when we pray for God
to give us wisdom or the knowl-
edge we need, it’s important for
us to realize the Spirit is in us
(1 Corinthians 2:12; 6:19). And
He communicates to us what He
hears God say. John 16:13 ex-
plains that He is “the Spirit of
Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit)”
and He guides us into the Truth.
“For He will not speak His own
message…but He will tell
