It is the promise that Jesus made to us before leaving to sit by his father’s side in heaven. “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me” (John 15:26) In this way, Jesus gave us an ally in the fight against sickness, persecution, and other problems. Just like how Jesus was constantly with his disciples teaching and defending them, the Holy Spirit is always in us and with us every day. With these 8 bible passages, let’s take a leap of faith and get to know it better so that we can better commune with it.
