He Walks With Each One Personally

Daily Devotional - December 20

“If you then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Luke 11:13

The presence and power of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the believer. As Jesus was to his disciples, so the Holy Spirit is now to each believer. He walks with each one personally, just as truly as Jesus personally walked with his disciples, he is that close and that intimate with us. He leads the believer in the will of God, he speaks to the believer, counsels the believer, teaches the believer, reveals truth to the believer, comforts and encourages the believer, and convicts of sin when needed, providing help and strength to lead him in repentance.

“But the helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
John 14:26

How does one receive the Holy Spirit? The passage above in Luke tells us that we are to ASK the Father to receive the Holy Spirit. If you have never asked, ask now. It can change everything. He will be with you constantly and will be your help, your comforter, and your counselor in all the circumstances of your life.
