Kingdom Awareness

The Holy Spirit is an advocate, a helper, another comforter.  That means Jesus was the first helper (Comforter) for him to be another helper (Comforter).  He is not a mere influence.  He is not a movement.  He is not dance partner or choreographers.  He was there in the beginning. He is the spirit of God.  He is a creator.  He is a counselor.  He is a helper.  He inspires scripture. The Greek word translated here as “Helper” is parakletos.  Technically speaking the word Helper (Comforter) has a legal dimension; it refers to one who would be an advocate for another.  An advocate is a Person that acts on behalf of another.
