There is such Blessing for the True Believer because
every True Believer has the indwelling Holy Spirit. To have assurance of the
Holy Spirit in our lives helps us tremendously. He, the Holy Spirit, helps us
to pray, He strengthens us in our inner man, He reminds us of the Words of
Jesus Christ, He gives us Spiritual fruit to share with other people and He
anoints us to serve in the Will of God. Let us value the Presence of the Holy
Spirit in our lives.
