Have you ever thought of the Holy Spirit as a Person? Most people only think of Him as a power or a thing. When we do this, we miss out on developing a personal relationship with Him. Jesus dropped a bomb on His followers, He said it was better that He leaves. He said He would ask the Father to send an invisible person to take His place. If anyone other than Jesus said this, we would think they are crazy. But Jesus did say it, so it must be true. It was to our advantage that He went away.
Importance of learning to get to know the Inner Witness in the Last Days.
John 16:7–14 (NASB95)
7 “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. 8 “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.
