John 14:16 (NLT)
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you.
A Theme to Remember:
To pray in Christ’s name is therefore to be identified with Christ as to our righteousness, and to be identified with Christ in our desires by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. To pray in the Spirit, to pray according to the will of the Father, to pray in Christ’s name, are identical expressions. The Father Himself loveth us, and is willing to hear us: two intercessors, Christ the Advocate above, and the Holy Ghost, the Advocate within, are the gifts of His love. (Adapted from Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer)
Words to Remember:
We do not need to wait for the Holy Spirit to come: He came on the day of Pentecost and He has never left the church.
–John R.W. Stott
