Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Wednesday, May 13th.

Have you ever prayed, Lord, I need help?

Believers have that prayer answered immediately.

Today's message teaches us more about our helper, the Holy Spirit.

How many times in your Christian life have you said, I need some help.

I mean, Lord, I need some real help.

How many of you have I felt that away?

I need real help.

Maybe it was the decision you were trying to make or maybe it was something you had to do

that you felt so inadequate about or whatever the challenge may be.

All of us have felt not just once in a while, but many, many times, God, I need help.

Well, the wonderful thing about needing help is that God's provided it.

So what I would like to do is to take a few moments just to ask you to turn to John

Chapter 14.

And I want us to look at this helper that God has given us because

he knew you and I would never be able to live the Christian life. And so therefore, he said he gave us a

helper. And I want you to turn to the 14th chapter. And I want to take you through some verses here.

And I just want to say one thing, in essence, and that's this.

Every single one of us has an intimate, personal, omnipotent, available, ready, adequate, sufficient helper.

I mean, he's instantaneously there every single time you and I have a need.

Listen to what Jesus said. He said about him in John chapter 14. He says, and I will ask the

father and he will give you another helper, alos, just like himself, that he may be with you forever.
