“And I will pray the Father, and He will give [Unleash] you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 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.”

Before He died, Jesus promised the gift of the Holy Spirit to His followers: “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth” (John 14:16, 17). Later, just before leaving this earth to prepare a place for us in eternity, Jesus commanded His disciples to stay in Jerusalem and “wait for the Promise of the Father,” which was the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4, 5).
However, this promised Gift is still largely unopened by God’s people. We talk about this Gift. We study and analyze this Gift. But too often we never get around to opening this Gift of the Holy Spirit.
Without a doubt, only the Holy Spirit can renew our sinful hearts: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you” (Ezek. 36:26).
Only the Holy Spirit can transform our children: “I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring” (Isa. 44:3).
And only the Holy Spirit connects us to God’s heavenly family: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Rom. 8:16).
Best of all, God is more than willing to give us the Holy Spirit: “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11:13).
The promise is already there, waiting for us to claim it. Ellen White writes, “If all were willing, all would be filled with the Spirit. Wherever the need of the Holy Spirit is a matter little thought of, there is seen spiritual drought, spiritual darkness, spiritual declension and death.” She also asks, “Since this is the means by which we are to receive power, why do we not hunger and thirst for the gift of the Spirit? Why do we not talk of it, pray for it, and preach concerning it?” (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 50).
The indwelling Holy Spirit fills us with the Father’s love and empowers us to be fearless and effective witnesses for Christ. Why not ask for this Gift?
