Let us look at the word "ADVOCATE". An ADVOCATE is a person who pleads for or in behalf of another, an intercessor.
Jesus says in John 14:16 (Amplified) -
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever
Part of being an ADVOCATE is counseling, and I do not know that much about the judicial system. So I did some research. And we have a privilege here in America called "The Right to Counsel" which allows for a defendant to be assisted by counsel (i.e. lawyers), and if he cannot afford his own lawyer, requiring that the government should appoint one for him, or pay his legal expenses.
Now, you may be wondering what that has to do with anything Godly, but actually it has alot to do with it. God gave us a "Right to Counsel". He knew we could not afford it, and he knew we would need it. So he made a way, that when Jesus left this earth we would still have an ADVOCATE, a Counselor, a Helper, an Advicers.
Be on guard, cause we have an adversary, the Devil, who is walking around trying to destroy us. It is important that we are constantly listening to the Holy Ghost, our ADVOCATE, to be aware of the tricks that are trying to bring destruction in our life. Seek, his guidance, his councel, his advice! He is our Intercessor, and He is fighting for us!
