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 that I said to you. John 14:26.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Many people seek life coaches to teach them the secrets of success. Many seek personal trainers to help them develop strong, youthful, and healthy bodies. And many seek counselors to guide them into good relationships. And they will pay a lot of money for these services. For every one desires to be perfect and to be happy.
Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48.
And there are people who can help you with these things to a certain extent and move you to higher levels of intention and action, but think about the great benefits of having a Life Coach, Personal Trainer, and Counselor all in one who not only could teach you all things needed for your success but also do them with you and in you, and even accurately tell you of the things to come. And He makes you perfect, complete and all you were meant to be.
If people knew that such a Person was available to them, and unlike the famous and renowned coaches, trainers, and counselors of the world, required no money for His services while He brings prosperity to those who receive Him, they would go to the ends of the earth to find and engage Him.
I am speaking of My Holy Spirit who proceeds from Me but is a separate Person but One God with Me and My Son. He is My promise to you, Acts 1:8, and My gift to you of your wonderful counselor, life coach, and personal trainer.
But He is only a gift to the redeemed. The glorious freedom of My children. I do not entrust My Spirit to those who are not My children.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14.
So let Me tell you more about your wonderful Paraclete.
This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the LORD of hosts. “What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’” Zachariah 4:6-7.
You see the Holy Spirit from the very beginning of the Bible to the very end. In the beginning you see Him hovering over the dark and void space waiting for My Word to fill it with all the beautiful things that were in My heart.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” Genesis 1:1-3.
I send forth My Spirit and things are created and I renew the face of the earth. Wonderful things.
And you will see My Spirit rushing upon those who made covenant with Me and cherished My Word to anoint them for service, giving them skills, wisdom, and understanding. The priest, the prophet, and the king were anointed for service by My Spirit.
He would come on those with Kingdom assignments but He was only upon them and not in them. And if they grieved Him and sinned against My Word, He would leave them. Like Samson. Like Saul. You cannot walk in the sins of the flesh and also be walking in My Spirit.
But when Adam despised My Word and turned away from Me, he brought death to himself and all his seed, which are biologically all of you. And his sin and abandonment of My Word, Adam made his spirit and all those born of him dead to Me and alive to sin for he had taken a new lord and master.
But I promised you a savior who would crush the devil’s power over your life and set you free to be My children again, regenerated by My Word and adopted back by My Spirit hovering over you had He did in the beginning to create you anew in Christ Jesus by My Word of power.
Yes, I promised you through My prophets that there would come a day when I would cleanse you of all your sins and unrighteousness, take out your stony heart and give you a heart of flesh, a spirit born again, alive to Me and dead to sin. And into that living heart I would pour My Spirit and you would keep perfect law of liberty from your heart—from the inside out.
Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. Ezekiel 36:25-27.
And Jesus, once He took all your sins upon Himself, into His own flesh, and died for you and I had raised Him from the dead with all your sins gone, He came back to Me and received the promise of the Holy Spirit from Me and poured Him into the hearts of all who believed in Him, that is, His Body on earth, the Church. He is My gift to all those who believe in My Son and are born again as a new creation in Him.
And I tell you how that happens, by My Spirit. My Spirit baptizes you into Jesus and then Jesus baptizes you with the Holy Spirit. Jesus told you that unless you are born again of water and the Spirit you cannot enter or even see My Kingdom. John 3:3-5.
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:3-7.
Jesus told you many things about the Holy Spirit and My Holy Spirit testifies to Jesus, which simply means He testifies to My Word, for Jesus is My Word manifested in a very wonderful and intimate way to you so you see My Word in action in Jesus saving you, healing you, blessing you and giving you My Holy Spirit to do many wonderful and amazing things in you and on you.
This wonderful Life Coach, Personal Trainer, and Counselor is sent to you from Me by Jesus to carry on the work My Spirit began in Jesus in, through, and with you as His body on earth. Each of you individually and collectively has become a temple of My Holy Spirit. I have made you Holy as I am Holy by My Spirit in you.
And Jesus the night before He died for your sins explained to you it was better that He left His life on earth and returned to Me so you could receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. He did not leave you orphans but family, partakers of My Divine Nature. One Spirit with Me in Him. He joined you into Me so that you can be filled to the fullness of the Trinity. My house, My dwelling place in the Spirit.
Jesus told you that He would give you another Paraclete – one at your side to be your Life Coach, Personal Trainer, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Comforter, and so much more.
Jesus told you that the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, would teach you all things, guide you to all truth, and lead you in every area of your life.
He told you that the Holy Spirit would be with you 24/7, always available to counsel you and answer your questions in a direct line with Me. He told you that the Holy Spirit would speak in you to tell you what to say in hard times and to foster good relationships.
The Holy Spirit regenerates you, testifies to you and witnesses with your spirit that you are My child, My heir, and your sins and offenses I remember no more.
The Holy Spirit makes you holy, tells you of things to come, give you skills to reach your full potential in life to prosper and be successful. The Holy Spirit gives life, health, and vigor to your mortal body, and raises you up on the last day.
And if this is not enough, My Holy Spirit also give you gifts when needed to benefit all. These include a word of wisdom, a word of knowledge, discernment of spirits, gifts of healing, of miracles, and of faith, and the gifts of prophecy and your own spiritual language of tongues and interpretation of that language of tongues.
All of these things the Holy Spirit does for you to set you gloriously free from worry, strife, anxiety, sickness, pain, and failure so that you can become all I made you to be and give Me glory by blessing others and leading them to salvation. You can win every battle be prosperous and successful for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. You have One who trains you for battle and in every other good work.
And one more thing, this Life Coach, Personal Trainer, and Counselor anoints you with joy unspeakable filled with glory.
And do not stop there, He also gets into your life and pulls the helm with you so that you have the ability to do all I prepared for you in advance. He is your Helper. He also prays in you and with you when you do not know how to pray and intercede as you ought.
And the good news is that you do not have to go to the ends of the earth to obtain this wondrous witness and powerhouse of treasures. It is easy to have Him right now with you and in you forever.
My apostle Peter told you how on the day that Pentecost was fulfilled.
“Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” Acts 2:38-39.
And to repent and receive Jesus is simple too, for My Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the Word of faith that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that I raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Romans 10:8-10.
And if you want to give your children good things, how very much more I want to give you My children good things. And what I give is always the best. I want to give you Jesus, but I don’t stop there, through Him, I give you the Holy Spirit. And I don’t stop there, then through the Holy Spirit I give you spiritual grace gifts, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, the fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-23, and the gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the LORD. Isaiah 11:2-3.
I love you. I have given you a most amazing Life Coach, Personal Trainer, and Counselor and He is yours for the asking. And He is in you and with you forever. Yes, you need Him in Heaven as well. You have many more assignments now and eternally. It just gets better and better, brighter and brighter, and bigger and bigger. There are no limits on My love and it is from everlasting to everlasting. And I pour My love into your heart by the gift of My Holy Spirit.
