WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT- 2?

• The Holy Spirit is NOT a bird, dove, or candles with fire, tongues of fire, anointing oil, water, rushing wind, and certainly not sound- all this are similitudes of his operations but not him. They are ways that HE expresses himself. The Holy Spirit is bigger than influence- The Holy Spirit is God, it is not like God, it is not a friend of God, it is not a mentee of God, and the Holy Spirit is God. The Holy Spirit is not junior God- THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one- it is only their functions and offices that distinguishes them- aside that they are one. So it follows that every description you give to God in terms of honour, acknowledgement, power and might, it suffices to communicate the same description to the Holy Spirit. Like I mentioned already the difference of the Trinity is not power and might but based on the system of their functions and offices, so based on their functions and offices we classify them as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not junior to God or Jesus, it is not inferior to God the Father or God the Son, He is equal with God the Father and God the Son. He is God in every way, deserving of worship, honour, trust. Holy Spirit is God

• To buttress a point I made yesterday- the Holy Spirit is a PERSON. Being a PERSON, means the Holy Spirit has feelings. He can become sad or angry, and others can insult Him and blaspheme against Him (Is 63:10; Mt 12:31; Ac 7:51; Eph 4:30; Heb 10:29).

Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them. - Isaiah 63:10

And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven . - Matthew 12:31

“ You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! - Acts 7:51

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption . - Ephesians 4:30 –

DISHONOUR to the Holy Spirit is one of the most dangerous things you could ever do- and because they are one- when you disrespect the Holy Spirit- you have actually disrespected God the Father and the Son as well.

• The Holy Spirit teaches us to PRAY- In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God . - Romans 8:26-27

So if you want to learn how to pray- ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and He will gladly do so.

• The Holy Spirit is the REVEALER of the PRESENCE and the POWER OF GOD. Only the Holy Spirit can make the presence and power of God real to humans. If you don’t have the Holy Spirit, no matter the miracles you see , you won’t change, because it the Holy Spirit that convicts us of our sins, John 16:7-8, John 13 :15. Jesus for instance, performed a lot of miracles in his day, but the more he did this things the more people hated him and wanted to kill him, because they had no workings of the Holy Spirit in them. Even after the resurrection they still doubted and continued persecuting his disciples.

More so taking a look at the disciples you see the difference in them BEFORE and AFTER the COMING of the HOLY SPIRIT. Before the coming of the Holy Spirit- they were timid men- but after the descent of the Holy spirit- they became BOLD AND COURAGEOUS MEN who will gladly give their lives up for the sake of the gospel. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal the power and the presence of God.

• The Holy Spirit is the WISDOM OF GOD. That’s why Jesus had to wait for the Holy Spirit to rest on him and for the Father to confirm him before He stepped out of the baptismal water, so that he will walk in wisdom. Wisdom was already inbuilt- however the Holy Spirit became the key to ACTIVATE that wisdom. Am not in any way saying Jesus was not wise, I want you to understand the Holy Spirit's agenda properly, hence this example. So that if Jesus before the beginning of his ministry had to wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon him, you and I must invite the Holy Spirit before we begin anything.

• The Holy Spirit is the AUTHOR OF SCRIPTURE. The bible was authored by the Holy Spirit, so you are a hypocrite if you read scripture and ignore the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21 says “ For no prophetic message ever came just from human will, but people were under the control of the HOLY SPIRIT as they spoke the messages that came from God ”

From this scripture we see that the will of men is too small to write the book we call the Bible, no man can write such prophetic messages with their will. What is even intriguing about all of this is that 96% of people who wrote the Bible never knew each other, they didn’t meet in a large room to synchronize their thoughts, but see the consistency, synergy and coherence conveyed from Genesis to Revelation. They were certainly being guided and directed by a higher power- they were under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

2 Timothy 3:16 will also say “ all scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living .”

Shalom and God bless you
