Manna for Your Morning

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— John 14:16 (AMP) Our heavenly Father chooses to dwell with us. How awesome is that! With the Spirit of the LORD dwelling in us, we have an infinite source of strength and wisdom. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth. Zechariah 4:6  says, ’Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. His Spirit working in us empowers us and enables us to do all that He has called us to do. Let us wait for His help and His guidance. So the LORD must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help. (Isaiah 30:18 NLT)

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. — John 14:16-17 (NKJV) John 16:7 (AMP) tells us that Jesus sent the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) to be in close fellowship with us. He wants to develop an intimate relationship with us. Because He dwells in us, we have overcome (past tense). You belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. (1 John 4:4 NLT) ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6 NKJV)

Earlier there were a lot of priests, for they died and had to be replaced. But Jesus' priesthood is permanent. He's there from now to eternity to save everyone who comes to God through him, always on the job to speak up for them. Hebrews 7:23-25 (The Message) When you feel like everyone is against you, remember that Jesus, our advocate, is on your side. When you mess up, know that Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, pleads your case with the Father. He always lives to intercede for us. Jesus is the High Priest who truly meets our need. He is holy, blameless and pure, and exalted above the heavens. Jesus entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood and through His blood we receive forgiveness and grace. Thank you, Jesus!

Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high. My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; on behalf of a man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend. Job 16:19-21 (NIV) We have an Advocate on high. Let us praise the Lord who pleads with God on our behalf. Jesus always lives to intercede for those who come to God through Him (Hebrews 7:24). Thank you Jesus!
