Welcome to the InTouch podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, May 9.

Believers in Jesus will never walk alone.

The presence of the Holy Spirit assures us that help is always on the way.

Have you ever wished you had a 9-1-1 line in the heaven?

Probably many times you wish that when you can just get connected immediately

with Almighty God to help you through some situation and circumstance in life.

We've all been there, times when we needed someone and you look around and family can't help you.

Friends can't help you. Nobody can help you but you need some help.

When you find yourself in one of those situations, where do you turn?

So I want you to turn if you will to the 14th chapter of John and remind you that Jesus is encouraging His disciples.

He's going to be crucified the next day. They are very discouraged.

And Judas has been trading and he's begun to talk about some things.

They don't quite figure out how they all match up.

He said, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father, I'm the Father one.

And now he's talking about suffering and all the rest.

But listen to these words of encouragement because this 14th, 15th, 16th chapters of John really are words of encouragement.

He's getting ready to leave them and beginning in verse 16 of the 14th chapter, His what He says.

He says, I will ask the Father and He will give you another helper that He may be with you forever.

That is the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him or know Him but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you.

Very important for them to know that the whole fact that His leaving was already frustrating and confusing and fearful.

Now He says, I'm not going to leave you as orphans. I'll come to you.
