Isaiah 61:1
King James Version
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;
because the Lord hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek;
he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
SPIRIT is truly the "Comforter".
Before JESUS left His disciples, He promised the HOLY SPIRIT.
Here's what Scripture says about the COMFORTER:
John 14:16-17
King James Version
16 And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26
King James Version
26 But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me:
John 16:7-11
King James Version
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.
8 And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father,
and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment,
because the prince of this world is judged.
John 16:13
King James Version
13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
Acts 10:38
King James Version
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good,
and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.
Romans 8:26-27
King James Version
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
1 Corinthians 2:11
King James Version
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 12:13
King James Version
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink
into one Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:5-6
King James Version
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves
to think any thing as of ourselves;
but our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers
of the new testament;
not of the letter, but of the spirit:
for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2 Corinthians 3:17
King James Version
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit:
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
Galatians 5:5-6
King James Version
5 For we through the Spirit wait
for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ
neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision;
but faith which worketh by love.
Galatians 5:22-23
King James Version
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
2 Timothy 1:7
King James Version
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power,
and of love,
and of a sound mind.
Hebrews 9:14
King James Version
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God,
your conscience from dead works
to serve the living God?
1 John 2:27
King James Version
27 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.
