You Have Power to Live as a Child of God

John 1:12"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right (‘power’ in KJV) to become children of God, to those who

believe in His name"

John 14:26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the

Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all

things that I said to you.

John 16:13However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He

hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

‘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

1. para ‘with you’ (to convict you of sin & lead you to Jesus)

2. en ‘in you’ John 24:49; Acts 1:8; 10:44; 19:6

3. appa ‘upon you’ (accompanied by other experiences - power)

‘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. And when He has come… He will guide you into ALL truth’
