Advocate

Some of the guidance provided by Jesus to honor the Father seems foreign and difficult for us to understand and do. God calls (invites) believers to do things that He has designed to help ourselves and others along our unique independent spiritual journey. Those of us who reach out to the Holy Spirit will find more than adequate spiritual help, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do," Eph. 2:10 (NLT). We must admit WE don't know the best ways to reach out to others but depend on the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide us; He will lead us to do the proper things (good works or actions). "If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth." Jn. 14:15-17a (NLT)
