We\u2019ve been talking about being led by Holy Spirit, and since we\u2019ve been talking<\/i> <\/i><\/span>about it, as the committed ones, the reliable ones, the faithful ones; you should be able to teach what you have been taught.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

John 14:16 (NKJV)<\/b><\/span> <\/b>\u2013 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you look at this same scripture in the King James Version (KJV), where it says another helper, the KJV says comforter. Jesus said He will pray the Father and He will give you another helper or another comforter that may abide with you forever.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

Now when I\u2019m looking at this,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>I<\/i> <\/i><\/span>see the word \u201canother.\u201d Jesus said I\u2019ll<\/i> <\/i><\/span>give you<\/i> <\/i><\/span>\u201canother\u201d helper,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>another<\/i> <\/i><\/span>comforter.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>So that\u2019s telling me that Jesus considered<\/i> <\/i><\/span>Himself<\/i> <\/i><\/span>a helper.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>Jesus considered Himself<\/i> <\/i><\/span>a comforter.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>Because He said,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>I<\/i> <\/i><\/span>will<\/i> <\/i><\/span>give<\/i> <\/i><\/span>you another.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>This word,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>another,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>can be something that is different,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>or it can be<\/i> <\/i><\/span>something that is<\/i> <\/i><\/span>the same. Dewayne,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>go get me some cereal,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>but I want another<\/i> <\/i><\/span>brand.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>Or,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>Dewayne,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>go get me some cereal,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>but I<\/i> <\/i><\/span>want the same brand. It can be<\/i> <\/i><\/span>another that is<\/i> <\/i><\/span>different or another that is<\/i> <\/i><\/span>the same.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>And Jesus<\/i> <\/i><\/span>is<\/i> <\/i><\/span>telling them,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>I\u2019m<\/i> <\/i><\/span>going to send you another<\/i> <\/i><\/span>helper,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>the same just<\/i> <\/i><\/span>like Me.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>But<\/i> <\/i><\/span>this one,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>right here,<\/i> <\/i><\/span>can do a little more than what<\/i> <\/i><\/span>I<\/i> <\/i><\/span>can do.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>This<\/i> <\/i><\/span>one right here can stay with you<\/i> <\/i><\/span>forever.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

When Jesus was walking this earth physically, He couldn\u2019t be with all of us at the same time. He only could be with us one at a time or a group at a time.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>But He couldn\u2019t be with Lottie, Dottie, and Everybody at the same time.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

When you look at this another comforter, we found out that it means Parakletos.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>That word, Parakletos, is made up of two words: Para, then, kletos. The word Para<\/i> <\/i><\/span>means to come alongside of or beside.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>That\u2019s why when you see the word, parable<\/i> <\/i><\/span>is made up of two words.<\/i> <\/i><\/span>I\u2019m going to throw something alongside of this story. It\u2019s<\/i> <\/i><\/span>an earthly illustration, but it has a heavenly meaning because He\u2019s throwing<\/i> <\/i><\/span>something alongside of this story. Not just a story; something is coming alongside of<\/i> <\/i><\/span>it to help you.<\/i><\/p>\n
