So many of us are missing out when it comes to all that Holy Spirit has to offer us. We go about our lives and we forget about Him, struggling just on our own strength when we could be accessing His incredible help, guidance and empowerment.

Holy Spirit is incredible—so incredible, in fact, that Jesus told His disciples that having Holy Spirit was even better than having Jesus with them in the flesh!

‍“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.” John 16:7 (NKJV)

If you want to benefit from more of what Holy Spirit has for you, then you have to realize that there’s a big difference between having Holy Spirit with you and having Him in you. This is something that we often miss. All of the Old Testament leaders had Holy Spirit with them, but Jesus was talking here about being filled with the Spirit.

“But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.” John 14:17 (NLT)

Holy Spirit coming to dwell IN the very spirit of a human being was unheard of! Before Christ’s sacrifice this was impossible, but on the day of Pentecost, it became a reality. Now, if you are a believer, Holy Spirit is within you!

‍You may be thinking, “Okay, but what does that really mean?” Let's dive into five benefits you have as a believer guided by Holy Spirit.
