 My dear viewer, welcome again to the series of 40 Days of Prayer. I first want to start by apologizing for taking a break unexpectedly. As past has a lot of things interupt us and so I was forced to be aware out of this program for about five days. But I promise to make up for what has been lost. Today is day 28th in our series of the 40 Days of Prayer. And we are now in the subseries of that person of Godhead, the Holy Spirit. And we are looking and we will be looking the next few days on what is exactly the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and how does He become one of our helper? And how can we now use Him in our prayer? So this is what we will be looking at in the next few days. And so I want to welcome you to be part of this ministry, part of this program and part of this worship moment. Before we begin, let's seek the Lord in prayer. Our gracious for the heaven, we thank you so much for the precious moment you have given us one more time to share. In this moment of prayer, we invite you Lord to be with us. Invite you to be with my viewer in Jesus name we pray. Amen. So today day 28th we are looking at the Divine Helper. Now at the text which is guiding us in the first is the Gospel of John chapter 16 and verse number 7. Gospel of John chapter 16 and verse number 7. The Bible says nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away the comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart I will send him unto you. I read one more time. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away the comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart I will send him unto you. Now Jesus speaks to His disciples and He gives them the promise of the gift of the Father which is the coming of the Holy Spirit. And He tells them it is good for me that I may go because if I do not go then the comforter will not come. Previously He had told them that I am going but I am not leaving you as orphans but one who is of the same kind as I is coming to you and when He comes shall lead you unto all the truth. But now His disciples were not excited that Jesus was departing. You see you having stayed and having had an experience with a friend, a person that you have related closely on a personal level and this person not just one day, not two days or a period of freeadavi as basically was their body and so He tells them I am leaving, I am going and where I am going you can't come. So this was not an exciting moment for disciples and so they wanted to protest the departure of Jesus. But then Jesus cheers them here, look my departure is not meant to be a disadvantage to you. In fact it is good, it is better, it is important it is expedient that I may depart from you so that then I can bring to you or I can allow that person of God to come and minister to you and cheers them you see. This is very very important because the comfort will not come unto you but if I depart I will send him unto you. Jesus is in charge of sending the Holy Spirit. God the Father was in charge of sending Jesus the Son. Jesus is in charge of sending the Holy Spirit. Now this quickly takes us to the concept of the free in one what we call trinity and you know I appreciate that many people stumble many people struggle to appreciate how we use the term trinity in the gospel, the term trinity in the scripture and in the plan of redemption. It is just a triune, it is a set up of free eternal beings who have come together to work together for the common goal of salvation of humanity and they both share the very special privileges of what can constitute or what can identify one to be God. So the attributes of God that are in the Father are the same attributes that are in the Son are the same attributes that are in the Holy Spirit and so but in this set up then they all qualify to be called God and so we are interacting not just with the power as many people think but actually a person and I want to declare here that the Holy Spirit is a being, is a person just like God the Father, just like God the Son and so the Holy Spirit is a being, a person and Jesus says it is expedient that I may go that he may come who shall be your comforter and he shall be with you and in fact verse number eight is and when he is come and you can even see from the text of the King James Version here drawn from the Greek text identifies the personal pronoun here is he not eat, it is not the power it is the person he will come and when he has come in verse number eight he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment that the responsibility of the Holy Spirit upon coming was to reprove the world of sin was to lead the world to see the wickedness of the sin and to reveal in totality the aspects of righteousness of God and the judgment of God and we appreciate that when the Holy Spirit came in fact when you go to the book you see the power in which the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples and the great things they did in fact you know in those days it was mentioned everywhere that the people who were followers of Jesus were overturning the world upside down because they were now moved by the power of the Holy Spirit there is something unique that happens when the power of the Holy Spirit has descended upon a Christian and we are praying in this 40 days of prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our lives that we may experience the power that was in the disciples that we may experience the power that was intended to be in the church in these later days and we are here today in our 28th day in the 40 days of prayer talking about the divine helper Jesus says it's good for me to go that your helper may come and this one is of the same kind as I am you know I will just move out of the scene bodily but then the privileges that you had the opportunities you had in me the advantages you had in me the resources you had in me will be in no way be removed from you in fact you shall still be with you because the one who is coming is just like me he is of the same kind as me as myself and so he then is our divine helper the absence of Jesus Christ in the bodily form we have the Holy Spirit who does not manifest in being in a human form like Jesus but in the spirit realm we are not able to see him by our eyes but then he intends us through the power of God and I want to read one quote here from the best author Ellen G. Wyde and page of the Son of Ages page 671 I love this quote listen to this the Son of Ages page 671 the author here says the Holy Spirit was the highest of all gifts that he could succeed from his Father for the exhortation of his people the Spirit was to be given as regenerating agent and without this the sacrifice of Christ would have been of no avail sin could be resisted and overcome only through the mighty agents of the than person of the Godhead it is the Spirit that makes a factual war has been wrought out by the world's redeemer it is by the Spirit that the heart is made pure through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature Christ has given his spirit as a divine power to overcome all hereditary and cultural tendencies to evil and to impress his own character upon his church of the Spirit Jesus said he shall glorify me now this Holy Spirit the than person of Godhead is the means through which the heart of sinners are made pure as we worship him this morning or this afternoon wherever you are or this evening wherever you are as we take a moment to pray this moment I want to let you know that it is important for you to allow the Holy Spirit to be in your life to allow the workings of the Holy Spirit to hint the promptings of the Holy Spirit because he comes to purify your heart he comes to redirect your thoughts he comes in fact he is the one who makes our prayers manifest before the Lord he has a ministry of our lives the Holy Spirit has come to minister to us that we may be qualified to be sons and daughters of God without the Holy Spirit the ministry of Jesus is in vain we are stayed in salvation we are stayed at the cross we have desires for eternity because of the influence of the Holy Spirit in our lives and I want to pray this moment that you will allow the working of the Holy Spirit in your life he leads us he leads us into a revival he works in our hearts to revival and our thoughts to be renewed that we can be connected with the Lord it is important this money to appreciate the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life and pray to God that you may be revived say God fill me with the Holy Spirit that of the old days of disciples but turn the world upside down because then it would be me working but you God in me through the power of the Holy Spirit drain the world church to pray that God will help many people who are trapped in the world of backsliding to be revived with the Holy Spirit pray for Holy Spirit power to achieve victory over and cultivate in tendencies to sin pray that you will be a faithful steward of your time and your tithe even though times are difficult the Bible shows us that those who honor God will honor and that we find from the second Samuel and first Samuel chapter 2 verse number 30 we pray that the Holy Spirit can help us to be faithful stewards both time God has given us and also the resources and offering when lastly did you give tithe how faithful are you in giving tithe you can struggle as a human being but you will not be able to be faithful until the power of the Holy Spirit works in you and we are praying today for a sweet spirit of unity among the general conference sessions delegates that are now almost starting and many people traveling to go for the session and we are praying that God will be willing to make sure that he appoints for the church the men and women that will be filled with the spirit of God pray that God will help you as a person better understand the biblical teaching of Godhead and the baptism of the Holy Spirit as well as a deeper understanding of the personal nature of the Holy Spirit at work I know and I am aware because in the advent of church there are still questioning the doctrine of Godhead God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit there are still of our ranks who are stumbling on this thing and seeing that the devil is exceeding in confusing people but I also want to pray and request you to pray for our brothers and sisters who are struggling to appreciate the ministry and the Holy Spirit in our lives that they too may come to this knowledge that the Holy Spirit is not a power is not a thing but is a being that God has sent to us as a means of salvation that they may take advantage of the presence of that person of Godhead in their lives for purposes of the salvation so join with me as we pray together Gracious Father in Heaven in this moment of prayer we thank you for the presence of that person of Godhead the Holy Spirit whom you have sent to come to be our help and Lord that in him today we we live and in him today we find our being through him Lord we are connected with you the Father and God and Jesus Christ and through him we are forgiven because he is able to intercede for us the grounds that we cannot even understand we thank you for this gift Father and we pray today the Lord that you may forgive us those who are struggling to appreciate the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives those who have taken him lightly and neglected him in their lives Lord we pray that we can forgive them and lean them to all the truth to understand that this is not just a power but it is a being it is God in us who moves us and convict us of our sins he who revives our spirit the Lord we can be revived today and we can be equipped even for eternity we want to pray in a very special way Lord that as the general conversation begins Lord we pray that this power the presence of God in the person of Godhead the person of Godhead may rest upon the congregation may rest upon the congregate the meeting of the general conference Lord that it shall not allow the human beings to have their way but Lord he shall move the congregation he shall move men and women who shall be sitting thinking on how to get the best people for this church the Lord for the first time we will say we are our content because of what the power of the Holy Spirit has done in our meetings for the general conference church not only for the general conversation Lord but for all the divisions for all the unions for all the conferences and the fields for all the local church leadership that my father the church shall be guided by the spirit we are praying even for brothers and sisters who are not of the Adventist faith but are part of this ministry Lord we pray for
