The Holy Spirit Our Helper

William Wood

From the Sermon Series: Christian Living

 

In this message – The Holy Spirit Our Helper – William Wood shares a powerful teaching from John 16:5–11.

William explains that Jesus told His disciples it was to their advantage that He go away, because the Holy Spirit would come as a Helper, not a controller. This truth is central to the Christian life — the Spirit’s presence is God’s gift, dwelling within every believer, guiding, convicting, and empowering us to live for Him.


Living in the Advantage of the Spirit

When Jesus walked the earth in His physical body, He was present in only one place at a time. Through the Spirit, His presence now fills every believer. The Holy Spirit Our Helper means we are never left alone. He convicts the world of sin (unbelief in Christ), righteousness (the visible standard of God’s people), and judgment (the verdict already declared against Satan).

William challenges us to realize that we are God’s temple. The Helper lives within us, not to control us, but to partner with our surrender. This perspective changes how we pray, how we live, and how we represent Christ to the world.


Walking in Victory With the Helper

The message of The Holy Spirit Our Helper is not just about knowledge — it is about practice. William shares personal testimonies of how living surrendered to the Spirit sets the spiritual atmosphere in workplaces, neighborhoods, and families. Believers are called to bring conviction of truth by living visibly for Christ.

This is a reminder that Jesus already defeated the enemy at the cross. The Spirit empowers us to enforce that victory in daily life. Instead of magnifying darkness, we magnify Christ. The Helper equips us to walk in freedom, boldness, and obedience so that the world can see Jesus through us.


Listen to this full message and discover how The Holy Spirit Our Helper empowers you to live surrendered and victorious in every part of life.
