And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.  John 14:16-17 (NIV)

The following is recorded in the study notes of the Full Life Study bible:

The Holy Spirit is called "the Spirit of truth", because he is the Spirit of Jesus, who is the truth.  As such, he testifies to the truth, enlightens concerning the truth, exposes untruth and guides the believer into all truth.  Those who are willing to sacrifice truth for the sake of unity, love or any other reason deny the Spirit of truth, whom they claim lives in them.  The church that abandons the truth abandons its Lord.  The Holy Spirit will not be the Counselor to those who are indifferent to the faith or halfhearted in their commitment to the truth.  He comes only to those who worship the Lord "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24).
 

One of my big sisters in the faith calls the Holy Spirit the "Revealer of Truth".  The important thing about the truth is (1) Jesus said, 'I am the truth' and when you activate the presence of 'I am' along with the power of 'the truth'...(2) the opposite of a lie (an intentional untruth) and we all know satan is the father of lies and (3) the truth will set you free...whom the Son sets free is free indeed.  
The world cannot accept the Spirit of Truth because it's built on so many lies!  Everywhere we look...LIES!  McDonald's has us singing "I'm lovin' it"...lovin' the defiling of our temple with hypertension, high cholesterol and liquid diabetes aka sweet tea.  Beyonce "goes hard" telling b******* to bow down, when God explicitly said we should have no other before Him.  Women are told that they're not equal and they need empowerment; when God created us with the capability to reproduce life!  Men are soft if they live a life of worship or openly praise God; when in actuality, if God inhabits praise, why wouldn't a man want to enlist the creator of the universe into his situations! 

Father, thank you for sending us "another Counselor" to be with us forever!  Your word says that we are to renew our minds so that we do not conform to this world, but instead are transformed.  Thank you for the Holy Spirit abiding in our children.  Thank you for the foundation given to them in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.  Thank you for shining the light and revealing the truth, even right now, wherever he/she may be...in the middle of whatever he/she is doing!  We call forth the truth that dwells within our sons and daughters and we say BE FREE...THE TRUTH HAS SET YOU FREE!  In Jesus name, Amen!!!
