"But The Counselor, 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." John 14:26 (NIV)
These are the words of Jesus, The Christ, recorded by the Apostle John, as Jesus spoke with His disciples. He told them that He would go away to prepare a place for them. (John 14:2) Then He told them that He would ask His Father to send them another Comforter, The Holy Spirit, who would be with them forever. (John 14:16) He promised them that The Holy Spirit would remind them of everything which He had said to them.
Today, The Lord God speaks to us through His Holy Word. When we read or hear The Word of God, He is speaking to us. The Holy Spirit can bring His words to our remembrance today. However, we must first have heard or read The Word of God before The Holy Spirit can remind us of what He said. So, in addition to hearing The Word preached on Sunday, we need to read His Holy Word every day of the week. In fact, we should begin and end each day with prayer and then reading The Word of God. (Joshua 1:8)
