The Helper is the Holy Spirit and would be ever present in the world to\u00a0convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment. \u00a0No longer would it depend on a prophet, king, or someone else &#8211; God would be omnipresent. \u00a0We live in a time where the Spirit of God is speaking to our hearts, minds and souls to lead us on paths that glorify and honor God. \u00a0If we choose to listen and obey we find peace. \u00a0If we choose to &#8220;do what is right in our own eyes&#8221; we find unrest, hopelessness, no peace or at best temporary peace without any satisfaction. \u00a0Choose to be a vessel for God, listening to and being guided by the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.&#8221; Judges 17:6 Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
