John 14:23-27 ~ Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid †

John 14:23-27

 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep my word, 

and My Father will love him, 

and We will come to him and make Our Home with him. 

24 Whoever does not love Me does not keep My Words. 

And the Word that you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 

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 that I have said to you. 

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. 

Not as the world gives do I give to you. 

Let not your hearts be troubled, 

neither let them be afraid. 

About 5 years ago, I was in a Bible Study for a few weeks about the Holy Spirit. And the room was filled with people I've known for 23 years. We studied all the passages about the Holy Spirit and one of the women said to me, later, I get tired of hearing about the Holy Spirit! I love Jesus, I know Jesus, I understand the Lord and His Love (she does!), but I don't get the Holy Spirit other than, He is one of the Holy Trinity. I'm tired of the elusiveness of this.

Why don't we put a few aspects of the Holy Spirit with our Father, Jesus and see if this isn't more readily available in our hearts.

We do understand and Love Jesus. And Jesus is not going to roll out of us like the movie "Ghostbusters" and the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. And if we know our souls have Jesus, then we know the Holy Spirit lives within us. Now, we know we have the Light of mankind, Light of the world, Light of nations and Light of Heaven.

Advocate, sighing within us when we can't pray. 

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. 

For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, 

but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us 

with groanings too deep for words.

1 Kings 19:12, 13

A fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; 

and after the fire a still small voice.

So it was, when Elijah heard it,

 that he wrapped his face in his mantle 

and went out and stood 

Gabriel announces how well he knows God, saying, 

"I stand in the presence of God."

When we are close to the Lord,

The Holy Spirit is stirring the waters within us.

Our soul sings within us.

Isaiah 6:2-4

Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: 

With two wings they covered their faces, 

with two they covered their feet, 

and with two they were flying. 

3And they were calling out to one another: 

“Holy, holy, holy 

is the LORD of Hosts; 

all the earth is full of His glory.” 

At the sound of their voices 

the doorposts and thresholds shook,

 and the temple was filled with smoke

Revelation 4:8

And each of the four living creatures had six wings

 and was covered with eyes all around and within. 

Day and night they never stop saying: 

"Holy, Holy, Holy, 

is the Lord God Almighty, 

who was and is and is to come!"

Psalm 72:19

And blessed be His glorious name forever; 

may all the earth 

be filled 

with His glory. 

Amen and Amen.

Abba, Father,

Dwell in us, please, Father.

Dwell in those we Love.

Help us to seek You first.

In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

To see

to bring

to be

more daily

Thy Kingdom come

Thy will be done

on earth

as in Heaven

In Jesus Christ is 

Our Love, Joy and Hope.

Thank You for Jesus.

To You, our Father, be the Glory

Amen and Alleluia
