Now Jesus says the Holy Spirit, the Encourager, is the Spirit of truth. So the Holy Spirit encourages us by bringing to us the truth. Satan is a liar and he discourages us by bringing to us lies. And that’s why some Christians find themselves in a state of mental confusion, because at one time they listened to the Holy Spirit bringing the truth, and another time they’re caught off guard and they begin to listen to the enemy, bringing his lies and his discouragement. One good way to discern the difference is the Holy Spirit never discourages the people of God. He may rebuke us, he may convict us, but he never discourages us.
