Picture: Counsel #22 — Spiritual Helper CMH 125.1
If someone asked what Jesus loved to talk about most, you might say love, healing, or the Kingdom of God. But one of His most repeated and passionate topics was the Holy Spirit. Before His crucifixion, Jesus promised to leave a Helper, Someone who would guide the people and remind them of everything He had taught while on earth. CMH 125.2
Our alone time with God isn’t limited to praying and reading the Bible - it’s also about inviting the Holy Spirit to teach and transform us. The Spirit convinces us gently, gives us insight, helps us pray when we’re at a loss for words, and opens our minds to better understand the meaning of Scripture. To hear from Him, we must slow down, quiet the noise in our minds, and ask, “Holy Spirit, what do You want to show me today?” The more we tune in, the more clearly we’ll recognize His voice.[134] https://adventist.news/news/god-the-holy-spirit CMH 125.3
