The Ministry of the Holy Spirit-Our Helper

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, but they are all equally God. Matthew 3:16-17 is clear when Matthew states, “When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

In these verses of Scripture, we can see all three members of the Trinity represented, including the Holy Spirit. 1 John 5:7 also details the fact that all three Members of the Godhead are one, “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” He is a Person with emotions, mind, and a will, John 16:13, and is just as much God as the Father and the Son Acts 5:3-4.

Some of the Holy Spirit’s roles are: our Helper, Teacher, Guide, Revelator, Administer, Intercessor, Comforter, Counselor, convicts of sin, judgment, and righteousness, He gives you power and boldness to accomplish God’s will for your own life, and He glorifies Jesus and Jesus alone, and many other things. It is through the Holy Spirit that we are born again, John 3:5-8. He is so vital to our walk as Christians and it is impossible to make it through the trials and tribulations that you will face without His help and guidance.

I know for me when I was going through the dark period in my life when I was getting demonically attacked and didn’t know how I was going to make it through; it was the Holy Spirit that was teaching and guiding me out of the pit that I was in. It was through the power of the Spirit of God that I was able to overcome the enemy and his demonic kingdom, Acts 1:8.

The Bible explains in 2 Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” That is exactly how I was able to get set free, I relied on God’s Spirit to lead me to victory. Regardless of how long it took me, I was not willing to go down without a fight!

I had no knowledge of the spiritual realm or spiritual things and didn’t know what I had gotten myself into or how powerful the enemy actually is. The Holy Spirit taught me how to battle the devil one on one using my Sword which is the Word of God, Hebrews 4:12. During the ministry of Jesus Christ, He relied solely on God’s Spirit to guide and direct Him and He never left His side, Acts 10:37-38. We have to do the same if we are going to avoid the snares, schemes, and devices of our adversary the devil. He is a roaring lion consistently looking for someone to devour, 1 Peter 5:8.

We need to understand that it is the Spirit of God that is the Author (2 Timothy 3:16) and Interpreter (2 Peter 1:20-22) of the Holy Scriptures. He is the One that is going to give you the accurate explanation of the words that He inspired in the Bible. He will bring every Scripture to remembrance in the times that you need them, John 14:26.

That is why it is so critical that we get into the Lord’s Word reading, studying, and applying it to our lives. We must study to show ourselves approved, 2 Timothy 2:15. Can you just imagine having to engage in direct combat with the enemy with no arsenal? How can the Holy Spirit bring Scriptures to your remembrance if you have none stored in your memory bank to reference? This is a very dangerous place to be because you best believe the devil and his demons know the Lord’s Word, laws, rules, and regulations very well, Matthew 4:6. They will use your lack of knowledge against you, Hosea 4:6.

There are so many functions of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the believers of Jesus Christ. In this article, I am going to target the area of Him being our Helper. I am going to highlight the primary Scripture below that will go into more detail on exactly how He does just that!

John 14:26

“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.”

Here we can see that the Jesus Himself is revealing to us one of the key roles of the Holy Spirit and that is to be our Helper! Then the Lord breaks it down even further when He states that He will teach us all things and bring Scriptures to our remembrance.

One of the reasons why it is vital that we take full advantage of the Spirit of God bringing Scriptures back to our remembrance is because the Word of God is our Sword in the Spirit. It has the ability to tear down the lies and schemes of the enemy. For every deceiving arrow that the devil throws our direction, the Lord has provided us with passages of Scripture to combat them!

The Holy Spirit will also be the One that will teach us all things. I can definitely attest to this myself! When I was going through severe demonic oppression, I did not know what I was going to do to make it through! The moment that I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ and confessed Him as Lord and Savior; the Holy Spirit was the One that lead me out of the demonic hole that I was in!

He taught me how to fight the devil and his demonic kingdom back with the Word of God. He gave me direction on how I was to go about fighting off the enemy’s agenda to steal, kill, and destroy me! I leaned on the guidance and the leading of the Holy Spirit to get me through one of the most difficult times of my life, and it worked!

I was able to get set free from the demonic bondage that I was in, and that is why I am so adamant to share with others exactly how I was able to be free indeed! One thing that I learned is that the Word of God needs to be downloaded into your heart and your mind. There is no way that the Holy Spirit can bring Scriptures to your remembrance if there is nothing for Him to pull from.

Let’s take a closer look at the primary passage of Scripture that I am highlighting from the book of John.

The word “Helper” being used here is the Greek word “paraklētos” which means: a helper, succorer, aider, and assistant. So, of the Holy Spirit destined to take the place of Christ with the apostles (after his ascension to the Father), to lead them to a deeper knowledge of the gospel truth, and to give them the divine strength needed to enable them to undergo trials and persecutions on behalf of the divine kingdom!

The word “remembrance” being used here is the Greek word “hypomimnēskō” which means: to cause one to remember, bring to remembrance, recall to mind. What exactly is the Holy Spirit bringing to our remembrance? He is bringing back to our minds everything that the Lord Jesus Christ has ever said to us particularly in His Word.

So when we piece these key words together, we can determine that some of the primary functions of the Holy Spirit are to bring us to a deeper revelation of the Scriptures, gives us the strength to endure trials and tribulations, and brings the Scriptures to our remembrance when we need them the most! He is the best inside Helper that you will ever need!

Conclusion:

The Holy Spirit is often underestimated and disregarded! He is extremely vital in the life of every believer of Jesus Christ. He is the One that guides us into absolute Truth as well as bring Scriptures to our remembrance when we need them! He is our inside Helper that knows exactly what we need to do and when we need to do it!

There is no way that I would’ve survived the trials and tribulations that I went through had it not been for the Holy Spirit! He was the One that was giving me the warfare tools and tactics on how to overcome the schemes and snares of the enemy! God promised that He will never leave you, and He meant exactly what He said!
