SCRIPTURES


“Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The
wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but
cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone
who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:7-8 NKJV


“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all.
The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and
life.” John 6:63 ESV


“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper,
that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the
world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him;
but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I
will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John
14:16-18 NKJV


“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My
name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance
all things that I said to you.” John 14:26 NKJV


“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide
you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority,
but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things
to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and
declare it to you.” John 16:13-14 NKJV


“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not
know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself
makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered.” Romans 8:26 NKJV
