John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Did it ever occur to you that He is called the Comforter because He wants to make you comfortable? I think about it in this way; I surrendered to my Lord Jesus Christ and now my body is His temple, His dwelling place.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If you sold your home to someone and they said, “Come, live with me!” Would you be comfortable with that living arrangement, knowing everything was His and no longer yours? Maybe you don’t think that way, yet the task of the Comforter is to comfort you, to allow you to be comfortable.

Philippians 4:6 (ESV) do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

“May I have a drink of water please?” That isn’t the sort of thing you have to ask for when you are living with the Living Water. You live here, get comfortable and understand that everything you need to live with God is already fully suppled.

2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

In this the Holy Spirit will supply you with those things which you cannot purchase on your own.

Here is the tricky part that many of us get tripped up on; they don’t belong to us.

Leaving off with yesterday’s devotional, This is the continuing thoughts.

If you use your heart as a library for His Word the Holy Spirit will use the Word to bring into your memory His primary role, to instruct you in the desires of your Lord. It is dependent on your part to read the Word and take it to heart. Make His Word the core of your relationship. It is God the Father speaking to you, through the Son, and the stirred memory by the Holy Spirit.

Consider His primary role to you in relationship to the Father and Son and do not ask of Him anything. Pray to the Father and the Father will give instruction to the Holy Spirit in how to enact His will for you.

John 16:8-13 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Look carefully what Christ is saying here. The Holy Spirit will take over the work that Jesus Christ began in His earthly ministry. Some of the things that Jesus said about Himself in relationship to the Father are being said now about the role of the Holy Spirit. One thing in particular stands out, and that is conviction of sin. It is Satan that is being judged. Nothing breaks the handcuffs of that liar better than the truth.
