Your Appointment is Confirmed:
"Are your prayers being answered? There is a Heavenly help for you through the Words of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He is waiting for you to book your counseling session with Him right now."
~ Dr. Kevin L. Zadai
And I will pray the Father, and He will give 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.
John 14:16-17
DISCUSSION:
The Holy Spirit anointed Jesus and His ministry. Throughout Jesus’ ministry, He yielded to what the Father was saying and doing, and it was the Holy Spirit who was working with Him. Jesus told the people that there was a time when He was going to leave, and when He got to His throne, He would send back the Holy Spirit (see John 14:15-31). We know that Jesus made it to the throne because the day of Pentecost came, and the Holy Spirit broke out (see Acts 2:1-13). He is the Spirit of truth or the Spirit of reality. What He says is the truth. You may at times say that you don’t feel God or you can’t sense Him. While that may be a fact, it is not the truth because Jesus said, He’s never going to leave you. He’s going to be with you forever. You have to go to a higher level in your faith and declare what the Word of God says, which is, He will never leave you.
There may be disappointments in your life or issues in your body, and that is a fact, but it’s not the truth. The truth is that Jesus died on the cross, and by His stripes, you are healed (see Isaiah 53:5). It’s not that you deny the facts; it is that there is a higher law at work. It is the truth of God at work. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, and He is the truth, and He leads us into reality. The Holy Spirit will never leave you because He dwells in you, and you know Him. Non-believers do not know Him. The Bible says they cannot receive Him because they could neither see Him nor know Him (see John 14:17).
Being born again of the Spirit causes you to discern spiritual things, see spiritual things, and hear spiritual things, whereas a carnal person or an unredeemed person cannot. You can be a carnal Christian, and Paul called the Corinthians carnal because they were yielding to the flesh and not the Spirit. They were Christians, though, and being used in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. However, they were being rebuked by Paul, who had to correct them all the time because they were yielding to the flesh.
The Holy Spirit is in you, but you have to yield to Him, and when you yield to the Spirit of God, He leads you into all truth. The people in the world will see the truth you live in, but they won’t understand it when you talk to them because they are not redeemed. They cannot accept the Holy Spirit because it is a spiritual thing.
John 14:26 (AMP): “But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor— Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.”
* The Holy Spirit is your Comforter and Advocate.
* He is your Intercessor and Counselor.
* The Holy Spirit is your Strengthener and Standby.
* He is sent by the Father in Jesus’ name and will teach you all things.
God has an appointment for you to have a counseling session with Him where He sits you down and He starts to explain the plans He has for your daily life. At Warrior Notes, as soon as I hear from Heaven, I implement it, but I wait on Him if I do not hear. You have to wait on the Lord and seek Him but know that there is an appointment already on the books for you and that the Holy Spirit wants to sit down and talk to you. He is going to speak truth to you, and He is going to give you reality.
* Romans 8:26: “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.”

The Holy Spirit comes to us in our weakness. If we feel weak in any situation, He comes to help. It is an opportunity to have a supernatural event happen. When I feel weak, I don’t run and try to do something to bring myself into strength. I pray and let the Holy Spirit talk to me and rise within me because I don’t always know how I should pray, The Holy Spirit is right there immediately to help, and He makes intercession for us. He super-intercedes, and that is what it says in the Aramaic language. He super-intercedes for us with words that are too deep to be uttered in articulate speech.
The Holy Spirit will pray out perfect prayers that we would not know how to pray, and that is where praying in tongues comes in. Praying in the Spirit is when we yield to the Holy Spirit. Paul said, “For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries” (1 Corinthians 14:2). Our mind does not comprehend, but it is our spirit that participates. When we pray in an unknown tongue, our spirit is praying, and it is not done in our minds.
* 2 Corinthians 12:9: “And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.’” Paul was excited about his weaknesses. He gloried in his weakness because that is where the power of God is revealed. Your weakness becomes your strength. When God comes in by His Spirit, He girds you up and super-intercedes for you.
No matter what you’re going through right now, God has an appointment for you. Go and make that appointment, and show up for it. Let the Holy Spirit counsel you.
After you watch the video and read the study notes on this page, answer these questions here on the Blog mentioned above:
1. Discuss what it means when we pray to the Father, and He sends another helper?
2. What does The Holy Spirit do; When He councils you? When He directs you? When He shows you of things to come?
3. What does it mean to understand truth versus fact?
4. Discuss how Jesus would send the Spirit of Truth and how He would never leave you?
PRAYER
Father, I thank You for Your Holy Spirit. I thank You for the Spirit of counsel. Thank You, Father, that You catch your people up in the Spirit of counsel and that the Holy Spirit would be an advocate, be a help, or a standby right now. Father, that You would counsel Your people and give them understanding.
Give them the wisdom and revelation and knowledge of You that they would know the hope to which they have been called. That they would grasp the glorious inheritance, You have given them in the Saints, and that they would be able to understand and encounter the powerful resurrection power that rose Jesus from the dead and that they would encounter it right now in the name of Jesus. Eyes that see and ears that hear, right now.
Father, just go ahead and visit Your people, my friends, all over the world and explain to them what You are doing. Explain to them that You love them and that
You have a plan for their life and that all is well with You, and You are working it all out. You are working everything out for the good of those who love God and are called according to Your purpose. We thank You for it, Lord.
Right now, peace. Let Shalom come in Jesus’ name. Thank You, Father. Oh, Lord, thank You, Jesus. Yield to His counsel right now. The Lord is counseling you. He is talking with you right now. Hallelujah. All over the Earth. All over the world right now. Thank You, Father. Hallelujah.
