How do we experience His presence in our daily lives? Do we need the Holy Spirit? Let me assure you, we need the Holy Spirit in our lives just as much as we need a relationship with our heavenly Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 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.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:7-14
The Holy Spirit is part of the holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We need Him just as much as we need Father and Son. In fact, the Holy Spirit makes possible your ongoing Christian life and enables us both to experience Christ and to have a relationship with the Father. The Holy Spirit enables us to have a sense of victory in your Christian walk. We need Him at work in us and through us if we are to fulfill our earthly destiny in Christ and become the person that the Father created us to be.
