293rd Post Jesus Said Promises Made To His Followers Con't. - Authority of the Holy Spirit Con't. - John 15: 26 - 27.

John 15: 26 - 27. Jesus Still In Upper Room on Maundy Thursday Evening.
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. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
This was spoken by Jesus on the night He was to be betrayed. This is the third mention of this Helper coming, and each time Jesus mentions Him, He tells them something new about this Helper.
In this passage, Jesus tells them that this helper will testify of Jesus, and will give strength to the disciples so that they also will be bold in their witness of Jesus Christ. I am writing this blog on Holy Saturday, the day after Good Friday, and right before Easter. The disciples were in the upper room hiding from the Jewish leaders and the Romans. Not a very good picture of people that will make a Bold Witness, in the coming weeks. This is the power of the Holy Spirit, He can transform you, and give you the power to become the person that God wants you to be. This is the whole reason you were born, to learn about this God and to have Him transform you and your life, through a personal relationship with you. Think of it the Creator of the earth and the universe, wants to have a personal relationship with you. All you have to do to start this process is to ask Him! Have you done this yet?? If not there is no better time than right now!
