THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
JOHN 14: 26-27. John 16:5-13
Everyone
needs help sometimes.
The
covid 19 viruses started in China and spread rapidly across the
World
killing millions of people. The virus is so deadly that the world
Economies
were shut down, When the virus got to the US we were unprepared for All the
deaths.
Updated January 1, 2021
As the year ended, the United States
surpassed 20 million infections from SARS-CoV-2, and more than 346,000 deaths.
Globally, cases rose to 83,832,334 and 1,824,590 deaths.
To date, there have been more than
600,000 death in us that are due to the Covid
19.
In 2020 and 2021 we needed Help.
though the use of scientist, medical
professions, and the US
Presidents, the LORD produced
vaccines free to the American public.
Let's give God the credit for what
He has done for us.
We cannot determine what tomorrow
will bring. What we do know
Is God is our helper. THIS IS A HALLELUJAH MOMENT
CAN YOU PRAISE GOD WITH ME?
Lyrics

my hallelujah)
My hallelujah belongs to You (yeah, You deserve it)

John
14:26-31
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of
everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and
do not be afraid.
John 16:5-16
5 "Now
I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
6 Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. 7 But I tell you
the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the
Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he
comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness
and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in
regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me
no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now
stands condemned.
12 "I
have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the
Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on
his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to
come.
I only have one point this morning.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
God continues to be our helper. In 2020 and the
first half of 2021,
Businesses were shut down and many jobs were
lost.
The good news is the virus is somewhat under
control
As of today, businesses are opening back but
they cannot find
Enough workers. Anyone that wants a job can get
one.
None of what happened in 2020 and 2021 was coincident.
It was God
focusing our attention on Him and His control
of world circumstances.
God is now showing us that He is omnipotent. Can you hear God saying
“I Got All Power”? Only God can take a virus that started in
China and
Spread It all across the world in the blink of
an eye.
John 14:26
But the
Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach
you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
There is
nothing new under the sun according to Ecclesiastes 1:9
This Covid
19 virus that is sweeping the world is nothing new. The virus
Of 1918 killed
more than 50 million people and infected 500 million
People.
Our problem
is we soon forget tragic events and go back to
The Same
activities that put lives in jeopardy.
We have a
ready Helper, a Counselor to teach us ALL THINGS
We do not
have to repeat the same mistakes.
We can be
prepared for the next pandemic.
For the Holy
Spirit to teach us, we must be ready to listen.
Since faith
comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God,
There is a
good reason to study God’s word.
We have lots
of knowledge but do we have the wisdom to
Put
knowledge in practice?
Proverbs 9:10-12
10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For through me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you.
The vaccines that have been developed by the
knowledge
God gave scientists and medical professions,
have proven
To be successful in preventing infections;
Against Covid 19.
Yet many Americans refuse to take the vaccine
to save their
Own lives. Where is the wisdom in those
decisions?
We tune
our cell phone and TV’s to certain stations
Of interest. Folk are on the cell phone all day
long.
We text folk. We read the text of folk we
texted
We got to see what’s on Facebook. We want to
know
Who did what and where that did it. And when they
will do it again.
The average person spends 3 hours and 43
minutes on the
Cell phone each day, roughly 50 days a year. That how
Much time we give the world who gives nothing
back.
The most important thing we can do
Is TUNE
TO STATION HOLY SPIRIT
It is located on your cell phone under BIBLE
The Word says the Holy Spirit will teach us all
things.
How will He teach and what will He
teach?
God’s people are taught to walk and act like
Jesus.
No man is capable of ordering his steps.
Man can make some good strides, but he can not
see
All the dangers facing him and therefore cannot
avoid them.
You have no idea when you leave in your car whether
you
Will be involved in an accident or road rage directed
at you.
The Holy Spirit can guide and protect you.
Psalms 91:3-6
Surely
he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome
pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and
under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
The Holy Spirit teaches us the Words that Jesus
preached and
Taught.
John 16:13
The Holy
Spirit will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will
tell you what is yet to come.
WOW, You get
intuition from the Holy Spirit. I am not talking about
Something
new, but the use of knowledge already available to you.
Jesus is
well aware of what you going to face each day.
The BIBLE
gives us live examples of His foreknowledge.
In Matthew 14:22 Jesus sent His disciples in a ship to the
other side of the sea of Galilee, knowing that they would get caught in a storm
in the middle of the night.
The storm was not designed to put their lives in danger,
1. but to Test their faith.
2. Jesus put the disciples in the storm.
3. He protected Them in the storm.
4. He brought them out of the storm.
The disciples learn that Jesus was in control of the storm.
The job of the Holy Spirit is to remind us to look at our
Trials as opportunities to grow.
The Holy Spirit reminds us that we are adopted sons and
daughters of
The FATHER Through Jesus Christ.
When we are in trouble, we can cry Abba Father
Which is Father Father, a parenting relationship.
The Holy Spirit teaches us the goodness and the omnipotence
of God
His grace and His mercy endure forever.
The Helper Has Already Come
HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACH US?
1. He excites interest in our minds. Through
the Holy Spirit
We have an interest in our soul’s
eternal welfare.
2. The Holy Spirit gives us the right
focus on every truth.
When we study the Word of God, He gives
us a clear
Understanding.
3. The Holy Spirit refreshes our memory.
When we are trying to make a
decision, the Holy Spirit
Reminds us of Word so we can apply it
to our situation.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
To grow in the Lord, we must be purified. It is obedient to
the Word
That makes us clean before the Lord.
John 15:3-4
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to
you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you.
What God is saying, if you want MY help, follow MY commands.
You know the commands because Holy Spirit will remind you.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
John 16:7
But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going
away. Unless I go . away, the Counselor
will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
Sometimes God closes one door and opens two more.
Jesus told His disciple He was going away. The door to their physical
Relationship was closed. Now Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father
Making intercessions for you and me.
The two doors are, Jesus sitting at the right hand of the
Father
And the Holy Spirit that indwells you.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
The text gives us the threefold mission of the Holy Spirit.
John 16:8-11
When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard
to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not
believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father,
where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the
prince of this world now stands condemned.
1st The Holy Spirit convicts
the world of sin because men do not believe in Jesus.
a. Unbelief is a sin
b. Jesus taught us that when a father
brought his son
Who was
demon-possessed to Jesus disciples.
They
could not heal the son.
Jesus asked
the father of the boy if he believed and the father
Said, “Lord help my unbelief.”
Jesus
commanded the demon to come out of the boy and
He was
healed.
The
disciples asked why they could not heal the boy.
Jesus
replied, that this kind takes much prayer.
The
Holy Spirit reminds us that prayer is an effective part
Of our
relationship with Father.
Before
we try to do anything in Jesus name, which should be
Everything,
we ought to PRAY.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
2nd In regards to
righteousness because I am going to the Father.
a. The resurrection of Jesus from the
dead was proof
That Jesus
was innocent of the charges of His accusers.
b. Jesus knew no sin, but he became sin
for the rest of
The world, so
we have eternal life.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
3rd In regards to judgment
because the prince of darkness has
Been condemned.
a. Satan bruised Jesus on the heal, but
Jesus will cast Satan into
The
eternal hell.
b. Victory over sin has been won by the
resurrection of Jesus from
The
dead.
c. All believers have been redeemed.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
God Allowed the pandemic to shut down the world to reminds us
that
He is in control. The Lord used the airwaves to spread the
virus
All over the world. We didn’t know what God was doing until
the virus
Knocked us flat on our backs.
Early Thursday morning in Miami Florida a 12 Story
condominium collapsed
And 160 people are trapped in the rubble.
They pulled a 10-year-old boy out of the rubble alive.
What I heard repeatedly from relatives who are waiting on
information
About their loved ones was their faith keeps them going. They
asked
For prayer. They are
still asking for your prayers.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
The comforter, the counselor, the Paraclete comes alongside
us
When we are in grief.
When the unexpected happens the Holy Spirit, who has taken up
residence in Us
Come alive in our hearts and minds.
When we accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, the
Holy Spirit sealed us until the day of redemption.
In 2020 the pandemic shut down churches.
But God provided a Zoom platform for us to worship from our
homes.
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
I don’t know what you are going through, but you got a Helper.
Jesus said ask the Father anything in my name and it will be
Given to you.
The Helper Has Already Come
You need a doctor, The Helper Has Already Come.
You need a lawyer, the Helper Has Already Come.
You got family Problems The helper has already come.
You need comfort in grief, The helper has already come.
Do you feel alone? The
helper has already come.
Need someone to talk to. The helper has already come.
Need help with your bills. The Helper has already come.
Need a SAVIOR. The helper has already come.
No matter what your problems are, you got, the Father, The
Son
And The Holy Spirit as your help
THE HELPER HAS ALREADY COME
AMEN
