A BIBLE STUDY - THE COMFORTER -

                                                                   

John 7:39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you .



When the believers were gathered together after the Resurrection of Jesus, the Holy Spirit (Comforter, Advocate, the Spirit of God) fell upon the disciples like fire and they were filled with the Holy Spirit of God.

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"

The disciples were so filled with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit gave them languages to tell the ones of other areas who did not know their language, so they could understand what had happened!

Have you ever been so excited about something happening that you felt like shouting, laughing, dancing, jumping? It is a feeling you cannot control. That is what happened that day.

It can happen to us as well. All it takes is for a Christian to want the Holy Spirit to take control of our life so much, that we are willing to give up everything and let the Spirit of God rule our lives.
Remember we still live a normal life, but we have a comforter, teacher, guide within us to help us live an abundant life.
Remember we do not quit sinning completely, but we have an Advocate to confess to, and know God is faithful and just to forgive us.  HALLELUJAH
