You Have An Advocate.

John 14:26-31

We are walking in today:  You Have An Advocate.


John 14:26-31 
26) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28) Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29) And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 31) But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.  Advocate is defined to speak, plea or argue in your favor.  The Holy Spirit, is our Advocate.  Sometimes you can just hold your peace because the Holy Spirit is speaking, pleading and arguing in your favor.  Don't be afraid, our Advocate did not give us the spirit of fear, but of love, power and sound mind.  The Holy Spirit desire and purpose is to help you--not to hinder you.  Just as parents, we protect our children--our Father through His Son, by the Holy Spirit protects us!  I am leaving you with a gift.  Peace of mind and peace of heart--that He would return.  Jesus reassured them that the Holy Spirit would come to comfort, teach and guide them.  Two things that Christ here confronts His disciples with:  the first, that they should be under the tuition of His Spirit.  In verse 25 and 26 where we may observe the reflection that Christ would have them upon the instruction, He had given them.  These things have I spoken, unto you.  Referring to all of the good lessons that He had taught them.  Since they had entered themselves into His school.  Being yet, present with you these times that what He had said, He did not retract, nor un-say, but rectified it.  So that they could understand and be able to stand on it.  What He had spoken and would abide by it.  That He would prove opportunity of His bodily presence with them, to the utmost.  As long as I have been yet present with them.  You know I have lost no time.  Note when our teachers are about to remove from us, we should call to mind what they have spoken--being yet present with us.  The encouragement given them to expect that another teacher and that Christ would find a way of speaking to them after His departure from them.  In verse 26, He had told them before that the Father would give them this other Comforter.  And here He returns to speak of it again.  For as promised to the Messiah, had then so the promise of the Spirit.  Now with consolidation of Israel--the Spirit comes in , His name as resident in His absence, to carry on His undertaking and to work the things of His second coming.  Hence He is called the Spirit of Christ--for He pleads His cause and does His work.  He shall teach you all things as a spirit of wisdom and revelation.  Christ was a teacher to His disciples.  If He lead them, now that they have made so little proficiency--what would become of them!?  Why, the Spirit shall lead them.  Shall be their standing tutor.  He shall teach them all things necessary for them either to learn themselves or to teach others.  Therefore the Spirit promised to enable them, truly to relate and record what Christ said unto them.  And to all the saints of the Spirit of grace is given to a remembrance to Him by faith and prayer.  We should commit the keeping of what we hear and know.  We have an Advocate.  He that has ears, let him hear what the Spirit of the Lord is says, in the name of Jesus!  Fiveamprayer, we have an Advocate!
We have an advocate!  When Jesus left us to return to the Father, He left us with the Advocate--God promised that we would never be forsaken nor left alone!  The Holy Spirit guides us, fiveamprayer we are not by ourselves!  Thank You Lord!!  Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father and the Holy Spirit is our Comforter, our Advocate, He is a very present help in a time of trouble!  God is more than able to do it!  We can put all of our trust in Him!  That is why we are not out of control--we have an Advocate, which is the Holy Spirit!  As John 14:26 says, He teaches us all things and brings all things to remembrance.  We have a guide that leads us to all truth!  We can ask for wisdom of His word.  We can tell the enemy that no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper.  We are walking in the Spirit.  Exposure to the Son, to cast a Peter-like shadow.  When you need help call on the Holy Spirit, call on Jesus!  He resides on the inside of us!  That is why we don't have to have the spirit of fear but of love, power and sound mind!  Thank You God for taking up residence in us!!  That You would dwell on the inside!  You said, You would never leave nor forsake us!  Hallelujah!  We are to just trust and believe!  He is the way, the truth and the life!  It is already done, already finished!  Walk in the Holy Ghost, God given authority!  It has nothing to so with you, it is all about God!!    He is leading us in our marriages and our finances.  Hold on to the Spirit!  Walk by the spirit, not the flesh.  We must be spirit minded not carnal.  He is pouring out His Spirit onto all flesh!  As you walk in the Spirit, He will show you the way.  It is the Spirit that teaches us what to pray.  Just trust and follow His leading.  Let he who has ears to hear, let them hear!  He is bringing us out in 2012.  We are looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith!  We are Holy Ghost filled and trusting out Advocate.  We are to be still and see that He is God!  He told us in 2012 that we will see His glory!  It is the Lord that leads us to all truth and righteousness!  Thank You Lord for protecting and surrounding us!  Jesus went to the Father, and left us with the Holy Spirit.  We can do all things through Christ, which strengthens us!  Let His Spirit rise up and lead us!  Greater is He that is in us than he that is in this world.  We lift up fiveamprayer, we have an advocate, the Holy Spirit!  Who pleads, argues and speaks on our behalf.  We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown.  We lift up Shavonda's husband, Jesus You left us with Your peace, not the peace of the world.  Let that peace that surpasses all understanding rest on him.  Have her to lay aside every weight that would so easily beset her.  We know that there is nothing too hard to You!  That You alone are our keeper!  We come to ask for forgiveness, we try to do things ourselves.  Forgive us Lord for getting in the way.  Thank You Lord that You forgive with no condemnation.  We must not fall into the devil's trap of guilt, keeping us bound and not walking in what God has given us to do!!  Thank You for casting our sins into the sea that they are remembered no more.  Holy Spirit teach us how to forgive as the Father forgives.  We want to walk in obedience and follow where ever You lead us, our Advocate!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: 
I have an advocate!  The Holy Spirit!
