Christ Sends Helper Spirit
The Upper Room Discourse
contains Jesus’ final words of
instruction and encouragement
to His disciples before His death.
Only John records these intimate
moments between Jesus & His men
as He models true humility (c13),
describes the Holy Spirit who will
comfort & Empower them (c14-16)
and intercedes for protection and
unity of His disciples worldwide(c17).
Lord, we look to Your Spirit for Help:
Very truly I tell you, it is for your
good that I am going away. Unless
I go away, the Helper will not come..
but if I go, I will Send Him to you.
When He comes, He will convict
the world of sin, of righteousness
and of judgment (John 16:7-8).
When the Spirit of truth comes,
He will Guide you into all truth…
He will tell you about the future…
He will glorify me by telling u what-
ever He received from Me (v13-14).
These things I have spoken to you,
that in Me you may have Peace.
In the world you will have tribulation
but be of good cheer, I have
Overcome the world (v33) Amen.
Lord Jesus, hard times are to be
expected in this life; but Thank You
for sending Your Spirit to help us.
I don’t have to go through difficulty
alone; for You are always with me
to help, counsel and pray for me; so
Thanks for Your powerful presence.
As I yield to You and follow Your
leading, let Your power flow thru
me. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Holy Spirit, only You can sort out
the different voices in my mind;
and I trust You to do just that.
Keep me Lord away from deception
and instead lead me to the truth.
Show me enough of the future
and how it fits with Your purposes.
Lord Jesus, let the Spirit bring You
glory by revealing Your truth to me
that I can share with others. Amen.
Father God, trials and tribulations
are normal part & parcel of this life.
Though I don’t like this reality, but it
reminds me of my need for You God.
I praise You for being more powerful
than any worldly trouble I may face.
Remind me Lord always to keep me
looking to You. And I have the peace,
for You always have the final word,
You have overcome the world and
You who are surely for me. Amen.
