According to John 16:7, the Holy Spirit is our Helper. We need our Helper if you want to dive deep into further truth, which Jesus told His disciples in John 16:12, that they could not bear at that time. However, the Holy Spirit fulfills that work of understanding the truth in Ephesians 1:17-18.
The Helper in the natural sense symbolizes an attorney that appears on our behalf; pro bono, of course. Our themed scripture for this week is......,
"However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you." (John 16:13-15)
We need the Holy Spirit to go forth in our true ministry that God has purposed for us. We need the Holy Spirit to help us deal with the ups and downs of our lives as well as to endure the not-so-great things of the world system.
The Holy Spirit plays a major role in our spiritual growth. Once again, the Holy Spirit is our Teacher, Counselor, Guide, Advocate, Attorney. "He is our source for true spiritual understanding. He lifts up Jesus and builds up believers enabling them to live the Christian life," (The New Spirit Filled Decision).
That's why we are able to "seek (aim at and strive after)first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right)," so that all of our other needs will be met in the name of Jesus. Make it a lifestyle to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit. He can Help you draw closer to God like never before and to live a Christian life that He had predestined you to live in the glorious name of Jesus.

I seriously do not know what I would do without the Holy Spirit on my side.
