The Holy Spirit is our Comforter

"Then Job answered and said,
"I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

"Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? (Job 16: 1-3)

Many believers in the Body of Christ are running to other believers in the Body of Christ, hoping to get the answers to their problems. Like Job, we find ourselves dealing with miserable counselors,

In fact, we already have a counselor, the Holy Spirit, who gives us all knowledge:

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. " (John 14: 26)

Because He lives in us, we can know and trust that He is helping us with all things:

"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." (1 John 2: 20)

and

"But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (1 John 2: 27)


What does the Holy Spirit tell us?:

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John 16: 13)

Unlike Job's "friends", the Holy Spirit will not give us vain words, but reveal to us the Word of God:

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John 6: 63)

Instead of running to other people for advice, as if you are not made fully righteous and lack the peace that guides you (Colossians 3: 15), just ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what you need. Meditate on God's word, and you will receive the Comfort and direction that you are searching for.
