John 14:16-17

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Intercessor) to be with you forever-the Spirit of Truth, who the world cannot receive (and take to its heart) because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.  

The Holy Spirit is a gift to us here on earth, and we need to rely on His counsel. If we keep our hearts soft to His leading, we will avoid the mind field of sin. We make choices every day and have suggestions to sin every day, and our hearts stay strong with the Holy Spirit. It all depends on whether we believe in God’s promises and keep His commandments.
