We all experience lots of changes in our lives. Some we like. Others we don't. Some come infrequently. Some come at us pretty fast, almost like a tidal wave. Chances are pretty good we might need some help. I need some help.


Writing from Anne Graham Lotz:

The Wonderful Someone


"It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."

~ John 16:7 KJV


"The very promise Jesus gave us contains a name for the Holy Spirit that reveals the uniqueness of His nearness in our loneliness. This name, 'Comforter', is equally translated from the Greek text into six other names, each of which describes a slightly different aspect of the Holy Spirit's precious, personal ministry in our lives:

Comforter:  One Who relieves of mental distress

Counselor:  One Who give advice and manages causes

Helper:  One Who furnishes relief or support

Intercessor:  One Who acts between parties to reconcile differences

Advocate:  One Who pleads the cause of another

Strengthener:  One Who causes strength and endurance

Standby:  One Who can be always relied upon


"Can you imagine how wonderful it would be to have Someone with these attributes in your life? If you belong to Jesus, you do have that wonderful Someone. You have the Holy Spirit."
