, & 16 Jesus is telling the disciples that he is leaving, but he will not leave them
talks about Jesus introducing the HS.
The Holy Spirit is a person
The Holy Spirit is a person
Bible never refers to HS and it… or Ghost… It’s important we relate to HS as a person so we can have a personal relationship with him.
HS is the third person of the Trinity.
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 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 things that I said to you.
26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
7 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.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
John 16:
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
This is amazing. HS will tell you the things Jesus said he could not tell us because we were not ready.

It’s better that the HS is here today than if Jesus was here today. If he were here today, he could only be in one place at a time. HS is everywhere at the same time. You can pray for your neighbor right here and HS is there beside your neighbor.
Holy Spirit tells us what to say.
Holy Spirit tells us what to say.
He will tell you to say stuff that you didn’t know. He will also tell you what not to say.
John 16
8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. 9 The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.
The reason the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin is because we don’t believe.
He convicts us of sin so we will believe.
He convicts us of sin so we will believe.
3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
He convicts us of righteousness.
He convicts us of righteousness.
10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
We get his righteousness.
He convicts of Judgement.
He convicts of Judgement.
11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
He kicks Satan out
He kicks Satan out
31 The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out.
HS comes to convict me that I need a Savior, and when I accept him I am righteous and because of that, Satan has no power over my life.

and he’s not weird. Weird people… they would be weird without HS.
HS is not a weird entity. He doesn’t make you go without makeup or wear too much makeup.
Who do you think makes us afraid of the Holy Spirit?
Satan. And he put the emphasis on one Gifts.
Evidence of being filled with HS

He’s my God.
He’s my God.
HS is God. He is a person just like the Father and the Son.
HS is the description name. It describes his function. His name is God.
Trinity -
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.
26 But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
26 “But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.
22 and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself.
4 The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren’t lying to us but to God!”
