And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31

We need the Holy Spirit to help us live this Christian life. Without the fruit of the Holy Spirit we can’t treat people the way God wants us to treat them. The Holy Spirit is loving and patient and He teaches us to act the same way.

• Galatians 5:22 New King James Version – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Jesus paid the price for our sins, died and resurrected so that we could receive the gift of The Holy Spirit.

• John 16:7-8 New King James Version – ⁷ Nevertheless 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 depart, I will send Him to you. ⁸ And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

The Holy Spirit is with us and in us and is fully God. He is called The Helper and The Comforter.

• John 14:15-17 New King James Version – 15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

The Holy Spirit is also our Intercessor who prays for us.

• Romans 8:26-28 New King James Version – ²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ²⁷ Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

The Holy Spirit will pray for what is best for us. We can always trust Him because He will always lead us to the path to eternal life in the kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit will lead us, but He will not force us.

“For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” 

Romans 8:13-14 New King James Version
