The Wife and the Holy Spirit: A Biblical Comparison of Two Helpers

 

The Wife & The Holy Spirit

A reflective comparison based on Scripture

Wife

"The LORD God also said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable Helper.' Genesis 2:18

Holy Spirit

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you." John 14:26

Both Originates from God

Wife

Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Holy Spirit

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send..."

Both Works in Intercession

Women were created with the ability to study weaknesses of people, and have always have excellent records of intercession as most of the time they are mentioned, they interceding for others/children.

Rebecca praying about her two sons in the womb in Genesis 25:22, and with that came revelation about great future and how she later played great role in it.

The Canaanite woman on her daughter to be healed, even though Jesus didn't want to heal her daughter but she went on reasoning with the LORD until Jesus healed her.
Matthew 15:21-28

Over and over you can see through woman persistence that God was ready to change the outcome, for the woman prayer...and that made woman the perfect intercessor.

Jeremiah 9:17-26: "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come...'"

Holy Spirit intercedes for us as written in Romans 8:26-27: "The Spirit helps us in our weakness... the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans."

PARADOX

You see woman was created to be man's helper, the original Man's helper, but she ended up pulling the man far away from God, so God decided come and take back that position through Holy Spirit.

As woman was original helper for a man and God still did not take her out of that position, now a husband have two helpers.

As you can see most of the times these two Helpers crashes as the devil have mostly found refuge in a woman.

Examples

Adam → Eve receiving and giving bad council.

Abraham → Sarah receiving and giving bad council.

Many other examples.

What Makes a Good Woman?

A wife ought to pray to be one with the Holy Spirit that the fruit of the Spirit fills in so that you can be a true helper that God created for a man and also will block evil to sets in your heart.

What If Not?

Holy Spirit will take your place as a helper and you will be left hanging onto a man, whom God have filled in and reverence in that marriage will be thrown to nothing and not just that remember you are under man. Man can easily become a bad master and cause you pain in life if you don't stand in your position and pray for his weakness.

"Every helper fulfills their purpose only when remaining aligned with God."
