59-1216 WHAT.IS.THE.HOLY.GHOST_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-4 N-2
« 54 † Spirit of God in His church, what for? What did He do it for? This is a little on tomorrow night's subject, but what did He do it for? Why did He... What did the Holy Spirit... What--what did He come for? What did He come in you for? What did He come in me for? Was to continue the works of God.
"I always do that which is pleasing to My Father. I come not to do My own will, but the Father that sent Me; and the Father that sent Me is with Me. And as My Father has sent Me, so send I you." Oh, my. The Father sent Him, went in Him. The Father that sent Jesus came in Him, worked through Him. The Jesus that sends you goes with you and is in you. And if that Spirit living in Jesus Christ made Him do and act the way He did, you'll have some general idea how It'll do when It's in you; 'cause that Life cannot change. It'll go from body to body, but It cannot change Its nature, for It is God.

« 56 † Now, in John 14, just let's read just a little bit, beginning at the 10th verse:
Believest thou... that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the works--the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (Think of that. Now.)
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he... also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.
Don't you see? See how He said there? Now, watch just how this comes out. I'll read just a little farther. We're going to read down about to the 20th verse.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in... (Let's see, I had the... Yeah. Uh-huh...?...)
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask any thing in my name, I'll do it.
If you love me, keep my commandment.
And I will pray the Father,... (Now, watch.)... and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with You for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but you know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

« 57 † Who is that Spirit then? What is the Holy Ghost? It's Christ in you, the Comforter; that's the Holy Spirit. "And when the Comforter has come, He will do the same things that I done while the Comforter is in Me. I'll pray the Father, and He'll give you this Comforter. You know the Comforter; the world don't know Him (never will), but you know Him because He dwells now with you (Jesus speaking), but He shall be in you." So there you are; that's the Comforter.
... shall be in you.
I will not leave You comfortless: I will come to you. (I will not... Now, that's the Comforter, Christ. That's what the Holy Ghost is; It's Christ.)
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye shall see me: because I live, you... live also.
Oh, we could go on and on, but let you know... What is He? He's a Seal; He's a Sign; He's a Comforter. See what all He is. The seed of Abraham inherit It.

« 59 † Now, let's also find that the--what else the Comforter is. Let's go to I John 16:7. See if He isn't a Advocate too. You know what an advocate is? Making an advocate. We have an Advocate; we know that. I John the 16th chapter... Oh, wait a minute; I'm sorry. St. John it is, 16:7. I'm sorry; I'm sure sorry I said that, I read that wrong on my--got 16:7.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

« 60 † My. Now, the Advocate found in--in I John 2:12... Now, let's read that just a minute, I John 2 and 12. I beg your pardon; I John 1 and 2 it is. I've got these wrote down, I John 2:1-2.
My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: (Who is the Advocate? Jesus Christ the righteous.) And he is--he is the propitiation for our sin: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
