14 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. - John 14: 26 NKJV Last week, we talked about the person of the Holy Spirit. He is the third person of the Godhead and shares equality, unity, splendor and eternity with the other two persons of the Trinity being God the Father and God the Son. As expoused by the preacher during the 9.15 a.m. Mattins Service, God the Spirit has been at work from the beginning of creation till date as seen in the Old Testament and confirmed in the New Testament. He is not retired, fed-up or sacked. What He was before the creation of the world is still what He is now. Dynamic, creative and inspiring force of life. Today, we want to take you on a spiritual journey through the Bible and make you understand the more what the Holy Spirit does so that you can profit from His activities more than ever. The Comforter, (Advocate or Counselor), in the above quoted text from St. John s Gospel chapter fourteen verse twenty six is identified as the Holy Spirit. For the New Testament Christian, the most important thing about the Spirit is not His power (Acts 1:8), but that He is Holy. His holy character, along with the manifestation of that holy character in the lives of believers, is what matters most (c.f Rom. 1:4; Gal. 5:22-26). Be that as it may, it is great and cool first of all, that another name for the Holy Spirit is Comforter. I think we all need some comfort sometimes, and to know that He is always close is a good thing as well. There is so much chaos in our world today, ranging from terrorism, armed robbery, violence, thuggery, wickedness, gangsterism, human trafficking, abuse of all sorts, and many other unprintable crimes. Safe houses, like churches and other religious

15 houses are no longer what they used to be. Every human institution is stricken with one scandal or the other. People are running helter skelter, running for cover or protection and there seems to be nowhere to hide, no one offers any comfort or hope. All this brings to mind the words of prophecy that the entire world will be thrown into turmoil at end times and the only consolation will be to hide under the shelter of The Most High. Even when God tells us things that we do not really want to hear, like the end times prophecy, that comfort is there, helping us through it. And then it goes on, and says that He will teach us ALL things. That is awesome. Nothing now holds us back except ourselves from learning all there is to learn. The faster we learn the basic, the sooner we can go on to the harder basics. This actually informed the choice of our theme, New Beginning for last year that we are building upon this year. Besides, the remembrance part is amazing as well. Life seems so much like amnesia, the veil is drawn and everything is foreign to us, but the whole remembrance thing solves that problem. Through the Holy Spirit, we have access to that part of ourselves, and we remember things that we never knew in this life, and we have moments where we recognize the truth that we want to acknowledge. Jesus was speaking to His disciples at the Last Supper when He said these things. It is a huge leap to apply the things He shared in private to the 11 (Judas had already left) to every believer today. Have a blessed week! Completely Yours, Provost
