EMBRACE THE HOLY SPIRIT John 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. JOHN 16:7---The Greek word translated expedient means to be an advantage; profitable. How could any situation be more advantageous or profitable than having Jesus physically with you?
