“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;” John 14:16. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, said these words. Who is this Comforter? He is the Holy Spirit as we saw in the previous verse. It is interesting that Jesus refers to Him as the Comforter because we know the Holy Spirit is God Almighty. Much like the oil solution on the sheep’s head, the Comforter brings us to a further place of victory and freedom from the pests that trouble us and reveals what really belongs to us as those belonging to the Good Shepherd.
This Comforter will teach us all things, and will bring all things to our rememberance (John 14:26). He will be in us a built-in teacher. But ye have an anction, which means an anointing, from the Holy One, and ye know all things (I John 2:20). “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” I John 2:27. What an answer and what great victory!
As we receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit, he will teach us how to overcome all these doubts, fears, unbelief, irritations and troubles. There is total victory in what the Good Shepherd has provided. He is the one that pours that anointing upon us. He knew that we would never make it without the Comforter living inside us.
