John 16:7-10 NASB

7. But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

8. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

9. concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10. and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

Romans 8:26-27 NASB

26. In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

27. and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Galatians 5:22-25 NASB

22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23. gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

24. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Empowerment Keys:

  • Embracing the Holy Spirit allows the spirit to fulfill His purpose in me

    • Helper

    • Convict

The ancient Greek word for “convict” is elegcho, which means to refute, confute, or convict. It can also mean to bring to light, expose, or scrutinize. Elegcho often implies shame for the person who is convicted.

  • The Holy Spirit will produce what we can’t by yourself

  • When we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us it transform us to look more like Christ

  • He prays for me-He intercedes and ask for what I can’t translate
