How does the Holy Spirit help us?

The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin, comforts us, guides us, gives us spiritual gifts and the desire to obey God; and he enables us to pray and to understand God's Word.

‘EFESO 6:17-18

Pea mou ma‘u ‘a e tatā tau ko e fakamo‘ui, mo e heletā ‘a e Laumālie, ‘a ia ko e Folofola ‘a e ‘Otua: pea ‘i he faingamālie kotoa pē mou fai ho‘omou lotu ‘i he Laumālie ‘aki ‘a e fa‘ahinga hū kehekehe mo e kole, ‘o mou lama ke ma‘u ‘a e me‘a ko ia ‘i he fu‘u faka‘utumauku ‘o e hūfia ‘o e kāinga lotu kotoa pē; '

EPHESIANS 6:17-18

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.

Commentary - LEO SCHUSTER

I've always been struck by Jesus's words: “Apart from me you do nothing.” They are a humbling and refreshing reminder that our need, from first to last, isn't partial, but total. By giving us the Holy Spirit, Christ has given us all we need and more, from first to last. He fills our life and points us to the One who is life. He gives us life in that our starting point is not simply that we're spiritually needy, but that we are dead in sin.

“He ka mavae mo au, ‘oku ‘ikai te mou fa‘a fai ha me‘a” – ‘Oku fakamanatu mai ‘e he kupu‘i Folofola ko ení  hotau tu‘unga vaivaí mo ‘etau fiema‘ú - mei he kamata ki he faka‘osi – ‘o ‘ikai ko ha konga pe, ka ko hono kotoá. ‘I hono foaki mai ‘e Kalaisi hono Laumālie Ma‘oni‘oní, kuo ne tokonaki kakato ki he‘etau fiema‘ú pea hulu atu. ‘Oku ne fakafonu mo‘ui kitautolu pea Ne tataki kitautolu kiate Ia ‘oku ‘a‘ana ‘a e mo‘uí. ‘Oku ne foaki mai ‘a e mo‘uí ‘i he kamata‘angá, he taumaiā ko ha‘ata masiva fakalaumālie pe, ka na‘a tau mate ‘i he angahala!
