<TITLE>10. Par 59-65</TITLE>L-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.

L-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.
What is the Holy Ghost? It's an Advocate. What is a--what is an advocator? What does it do, make an advocate? It has mercy; It--It stands in your place; It--It does things that you can't do; It--It's--It's a propitiation for your sins. It's your Righteousness; It's your healing; It's your Life; It's your Resurrection; It's all that God has for you. He's an Advocate.

L-62 How we could go into details of that and break that down, of how that when It--It makes intercession for our ignorance. Sometimes when the--we got the Holy Ghost, we ignorantly stagger into something. The Holy Spirit's there to make advocate for us. He is our Advocator. He stands there; He's our Attorney. He stands there and pleads for us. We don't plead for ourself, because the Holy Ghost in us pleads for us. The Holy Spirit giving utterance, sometimes with words you can't understand, and He makes intercessions for us. That's what the Holy Ghost is.
When I walk into anything, I--I walk like a little kid; you walk like a little fellow. We--we're walking in a dark world full of enemies, full of sin, full of traps, full of everything. You say, "Oh, I'm 'fraid--I'm 'fraid to take Christian life. I--I'm 'fraid to do this. I'm 'fraid I'll do this." Don't be afraid. We have an Advocate. Amen. Oh, He stands by us; He's in us, and He makes intercessions for us: the Holy Spirit constantly, constantly making an advocate for us all the time.
He is our Advocator (Oh, how we thank God for that.), a Seal, a Sign, the Spirit of Life, the God of heaven, the Comforter, the Life, the Advocate. What is He? Oh, my. We could go on for hours with it. Now, we're going to change just for a minute.

L-65 Now, we're going to ask now... Promised to us in the last days... This Advocate, Seal, Promise, everything that we have talked about Him tonight, with ten thousand times more, It was made a promise to us in the last days. They didn't have It in that day; they just had a seal in their flesh as a token and a sign, believing It was coming. And they walked by the shadow of the law, which they were circumcised by flesh.
Today we don't walk by the shadow of the law; we walk by the power of the resurrection. We walk by the power of the Spirit Who is our true Seal, our true Advocate, our true Comforter, our true Sign that we have been born from above, peculiar, odd people, acting funny, taking God at His Word, calling everything else wrong. God's Word's right. That's... Oh, my. That's what the Holy Ghost is.
