He’s Got Your Back
“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
The Lord gave us His sure promise to send us a helper – the Holy Spirit.
The word for “helper” in the New Testament Greek is “paraclete.” This word has more meaning than simply “helper” – it was also an ancient term used in warfare. When Greek warriors went onto the battlefield, they went out in pairs, so that when the enemy attacked, they could stand back-to-back, covering each other’s blind side, and so, the battle partner in Greek was called a “paraclete” – he was there to watch your back!
The Holy Spirit is more than our helper and comforter – He is our battle partner who covers our blind side and protects our well-being!
You are not in this fight alone. The Lord has given you a ‘paraclete’ to go along with you.
Don’t grieve Him – listen carefully – let Him lead as you fight the good fight of faith, and don’t worry about your blind side – He’s got your back!
