As Christians we have the Holy Spirit ,we are told our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6 v19-20),it is He who bears witness with our Spirit that we are God's children (Romans 8 v16). He also helps us in our weakness Rom 8 v 26, what are you facing today?, difficulties, temptation,tasks that seem to be beyond you, so let me repeat what I have said,the Holy Spirit will help us in our weakness. In that same verse we read ,that He will help us in our prayers, it tells us,'We do not know what to pray for,but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans'.John Murry writes,' Christ is our intercessor in the court of heaven,while the Holy Spirit is our intercesser in the theatre of our own hearts'. Just a few more thoughts on the Holy Spirit,He empowers us Acts 1 v8, He guides us John 14 v26,and produces fruit in our lives ,Galatians 5 v22-23.
'The Holy Spirit is here ,where saints in prayer agree,
As Jesus parting gift He's near,each pleading company.
He dwells within our soul,an ever welcome guest;
Our bodies are His shrine,and He the indwelling Lord;
All hail, Thou Comforter divine,be evermore adored.
Words C H.Spurgeon
