Jesus says in John14:26(Amp), "But the Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Stand by, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My Name (in My Place, to represent Me and act on My behalf. He will teach you all things, and He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you." This isn't just for those who were with Jesus at that time, but is for all of us who have believed on Him from that time until now.
One thing the Holy Spirit will bring to our remembrance is found in John10:14(Amp) where Jesus says, "I Am the Good Shepherd; and I know and recognize My own, and My own recognize Me." This is more than our just being saved. This is our coming to know Him in intimate fellowship and to know His heart and Word. We read from John17:3(Amp) what Jesus says about Eternal Life. Thus He said, "And this Eternal life, (it means) TO KNOW (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with and understand) You, the Only True and Real God, and (likewise) to know Him, Jesus (as the) Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah) Whom You have sent."
John writes about hearing from God through the Word and the Holy Spirit in 1John2:2B saying, "But you have been anointed by (you hold a sacred appointment from, you have been given an unction from the Holy One, and you all know the Truth, or you know all things." Verse 27 says, "But as for you, the anointing, the sacred appointment, the unction which you received from Him, abides permanently in you; so then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His Anointing teaches you concerning everything and is True and is no falsehood, so you must abide in, live in, never depart from Him, knit to Him, just as His Anointing has taught you to do."
Jesus made the way for us to not only be born-again, but to be able to pray to the Father and be heard by Him. Jesus made the way for us to know the Father, like Jesus knows Him. Jesus made the way for us to able to pray and be heard by the Father. Jesus made the way for us to be heard by the Father and through the Holy Spirit, to hear from the Father in everything.
We need to make time to tune out the noise around and takes over our minds and attention, so we can learn to hear and recognize His Voice and instructions. Is.30:19-21(Amp) says, "All people who dwell in Zion at Jerusalem, you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, Yet your Teacher will not hide Himself anymore, but your eyes will constantly behold your Teacher. And your ears will hear a Voice behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left."
The Prophet Isaiah is speaking by the Spirit in the time of our new covenant with the Jews and to all of nations. Jesus paid the price for all of us, and sent the Holy Spirit to all of us. Our Teacher will not hide Himself and our eyes will constantly behold Him and He will hear us. We will hear Him telling us which way to turn or what to do in our time of need.
I call it "God's G.P.S." He has programmed out spirit by His Spirit and when we get off course, He will say, "Make a left turn and make the right turn to get back on course." If we programmed the G.P.S. in our car and pull into a gas station for fuel, then it will tell us we're off course and show us how to get back on course. The G.P.S . is very adamant and will not quit until we obey, even if we must make a legal U turn.
