7 Verses to Know the Work of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God’s gift to every believer—our Helper, Comforter, and Guide. While Jesus walked the earth with His disciples, He promised that the Spirit would come to dwell within us, empowering us to live in faith and truth. Sometimes we forget just how present and active the Holy Spirit is in our lives. These seven verses remind us of His beautiful work and bring encouragement as we walk with Him each day.


1. John 14:26

“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
The Spirit teaches us and brings God’s Word alive in our hearts, reminding us of Jesus’ promises.


2. Romans 8:26

“The Spirit helps us in our weakness… the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”
When you don’t know what to pray, the Spirit prays for you. Even in silence, He speaks on your behalf before the Father.


3. Acts 1:8

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…”
The Spirit gives us courage and power to share God’s love with the world, even when we feel weak.


4. Galatians 5:22–23

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”
The Spirit transforms us from within, producing fruit that reflects the character of Christ.


5. John 16:13

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.”
The Spirit leads us into truth, helping us discern God’s voice in a world full of noise and distraction.


6. 2 Corinthians 3:17

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
The Spirit brings freedom—from fear, from sin, and from shame. He lifts burdens and fills us with new life.


7. Romans 15:13

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Through the Spirit, our hearts are filled with peace and hope that overflow into every area of life.

When you feel overwhelmed, remember: you are not alone. The Spirit of God is with you, teaching, praying, empowering, and filling your life with fruit and freedom.
