WHO THE HOLY SPIRIT REALLY IS
We know that the Holy Spirit is part of the triune person of God. Unfortunately, many are considering God, the Holy Spirit less important than God, the Father and God, the Son. Let's take a deep look the position, personality, purpose and power of God, the Holy Spirit; who He really is and what He does.
All Three are One and all are One of Three.
All Three are equal, eternal, unlimited, uncreated and Almighty. Each have different responsibilities and coexist in perfect unity. All three are as One Person, One God Almighty, without any conflicting division and each in His own essence.
Each One of the Three have certain positions and functions.
God the Father is the source of life and of all good, Jesus Christ is the intercessor between us and Father God. In His Name of Jesus, we ask and receive from the Father and Holy Spirit is fulfilling and bringing into being what we pray for.
God the Holy Spirit in us.
The Holy Spirit is the Comforter which means that he is Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby. He also inspires us to become creative and He is God dwelling in us. All His authority, power, comfort and help are here for us, non-stop; all we have to do is to ask for His help. The Holy Spirit does not force us to receive what He has to offer; He is a perfect gentleman. He is a person who has feelings and emotions, that can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30 "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God...”); When we are truthful or not to God, we are truthful or not to the Holy Spirit. Peter showed how “Ananias was “lied to lie the Holy Spirit“ (Acts 5:3 "But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit...”).
In times of sorrow and despair, the Holy Spirit can bring about a much faster remedy if we but call on the Lord and asking Him to comfort and heal us. No one can heal a "wounded heart" like the Holy Spirit. No one else knows us better and no one else has His authority and power in the spiritual world, to set us free, heal and restore us. The Holy Spirit is the supreme comforter.
When Jesus came, everything changed for mankind.
In Old Testament times, the earthly dwelling place of God was in the section of the temple called the Holy of Holies or Most Holy Place. Once Jesus came and was crucified for our sins, raised from the dead and ascended to Heaven, God came by sending us “the Holy Spirit.” When a person becomes a true, born again Christian, they become the true embodiment and temple of God, the Holy Spirit.
There is no way this article can cover all of whom the Holy Spirit really is or all He does; however listed here are 25 key points about God Holy Spirit.
1. God, the Holy Spirit is our teacher, teaching us all we need to know, showing us what the real truth is and He reminding us of the right Scriptures when we need them. The Holy Spirit speaks in and through us and leads us through all situations enabling us to live victoriously.
2. God, the Holy Spirit is our Helper, convicting us of sin and drawing us to repentance.
Jesus was telling the disciples that unless He left, the Holy Spirit could not come. He wanted them to eventually realize that without His sacrifice, resurrection and return to Heaven to sit at right side of the Father, that the Holy Spirit would not be able to come and accomplish the greater work. It is a miracle that the born again person (one who repents of their sins and believes on Jesus to be their Lord and savior) becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. At the time, Jesus was WITH them, but He would send the Holy Spirit will come to be IN them and to be with them ALWAYS.
3. God, the Holy Spirit is omnipresent and He can dwell in an unlimited number of believers at the same time. He is not limited by a physical body, as Jesus was when He came! Only those born again, can receive Him and become living temples of God.
4. God, the Holy Spirit confesses who Jesus Christ is and only with His help, can anyone be drawn to repentance.
5. By the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ grows individually and corporately; in spiritual growth and in numbers of believers.
6. God, the Holy Spirit teaches us how to defend ourselves and what to say in the difficult situations.
7. God, the Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of Truth” is the most wonderful gift from our Heavenly Father (without Him, becoming born again and being saved would be impossible). The Holy Spirit is the Truth.
The Greek term, ”Dunamis” is used 121 times in the New Testament to express the power of the Holy Spirit. ”Dunamis” means strength power, ability, inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, power for performing miracles,moral power and excellence of soul, power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts. And this kind of power indwells and equips a Christian to bring others to salvation. People are not going to come to Jesus because we speak beautiful, passionate words or lots of words just right. Only the anointing of the Holy Spirit working through us when we minister salvation to others can convict people their sins and help them realize their need for a Savior.
8.The spiritual gifts become active through God, the Holy Spirit; they are the manifestations of His presence.
9. The gift of the Holy Spirit is received by those who desire Him. More of Him is available for those who are searching and hungry for Him after they have repented and are obeying His will.
Sometimes, people do not realize there is more available after salvation. And of those who do, then then many of those who experience the presence of the Holy Spirit, still do not go further. For those who are searching to receive more, who take time to seek the Lord and soak in His presence; these are the ones who receive the gifts that operate through Holy Spirit. Everyone is given the opportunity to live a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and experience His gifts. The Apostle Paul has urged us to desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit, in
10. When Jesus came and He ministered, He did so through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. How much more-so do we need the anointing of His presence, to be able to accomplish God's work.
11. God, the Father is speaks to His children through God, the Holy Spirit. Through Him, He teaches, guides, counsels and shows His children His will for them.
12. God, the Holy Spirit is the source of deep and lasting joy.
13. God, the Holy Spirit teaches us how to pray and prays for us.
14. God, the Holy Spirit is also called the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of Glory. He takes and transforms the Christian He dwells in, from darkness into the Light, from the fallen worldly nature, to the nature of Christ Jesus.
15. The person who is led by God, the Holy Spirit knows Him, listens for His voice and when He speaks is obedient to Him. This person will inherit the eternal life.
Only those who have Holy Spirit dwelling in them (those who are born again) will not die the second death, (the verdict from the Judgment day, that condemns the sinners to be cast into the lake of fire for eternity) and will go to Heaven.
16. The presence of God, the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life is proof that they are saved and are part of God's family; living in the New Covenant, in Chris Jesus. The Old Covenant of circumcision was the old way and was a testimony that the believer was one of God's people.
17. Only through the Spirit of Glory and of God, (the Holy Spirit) can someone have the faith that Jesus Christ came in a human body and accomplished what was needed for the salvation of mankind.
18. The presence of God, the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life will be noticed by those around them. The life given by Him will issue forth with praise for the Lord Jesus, the lover of their soul, this one who is full of Holy Spirit.
19. God, the Holy Spirit guides and counsels those who are searching for His advice, helping them to live for God and not for themselves.
20. God, the Holy Spirit is enlightens the mind and the way of thinking of those who search for the Light that Jesus is.
21. The baptism of the Holy Spirit unites those who were baptized into becoming the body of Christ, no matter where they are located of earth.
22. God, the Holy Spirit seals the heart of the one who believes the Truth that He reveals to Him.
23. God, the Holy Spirit sanctifies the heart of the one who dwells in.
24. Only God, the Holy Spirit can fill us with pure, sincere love for those in Christ and outside of Him.
25. The sword of God, the Holy Spirit, which is the Scripture, has the power to separate us from the carnal nature and reveal the true nature of our thoughts and emotions.
What happens when God, the Holy Spirit is rejected?
The blasphemy against Holy Spirit starts with fighting against the conviction that He brings in the heart of the sinner. No one can receive the forgiveness of sins and inherit eternal life, if they do not accept the truth as revealed by Holy Spirit; we must to repent and obey. The resistance and denying of the work of Holy Spirit is eternal sin, if the person dies in that state. Why? Because the person is denying the only way to receive forgiveness of personal sins. God does not force anyone to receive salvation. He created man with free will to have the freedom to choose.
I pray that this article encourages your heart with the desire to know Father God and His Son, Jesus Christ even more, through a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is willing to reveal to us all that our Heavenly Father has for us. He is here to lead and guide us, step by step, caring for all our needs and He is here to show us the Father's solutions to every day life, but He will never go where He is not wanted or force us into anything. While He does not give us more of Himself than we ask for; we can never have too much of Him or know Him too well! We will have a whole eternity to discover the wonders of who the Holy Spirit really is and I can hardly wait! In the meantime, I pray that the thirst for more of Him, who is the source of "living water," to keep us growing in Him, so we will be sure to never forsake the Lord of our lives, Jesus Christ!
All Three are One and all are One of Three.
- 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.”
All Three are equal, eternal, unlimited, uncreated and Almighty. Each have different responsibilities and coexist in perfect unity. All three are as One Person, One God Almighty, without any conflicting division and each in His own essence.
Each One of the Three have certain positions and functions.

Once Jesus came and was crucified for our sins, raised from the dead and ascended to Heaven, God came by sending us “the Holy Spirit.” When a person becomes a true, born again Christian, they become the true embodiment and temple of God, the Holy Spirit.
- 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?"
- 1 Corinthians 6:19 "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?”

- John 16:7-8 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment”
Jesus was telling the disciples that unless He left, the Holy Spirit could not come. He wanted them to eventually realize that without His sacrifice, resurrection and return to Heaven to sit at right side of the Father, that the Holy Spirit would not be able to come and accomplish the greater work. It is a miracle that the born again person (one who repents of their sins and believes on Jesus to be their Lord and savior) becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. At the time, Jesus was WITH them, but He would send the Holy Spirit will come to be IN them and to be with them ALWAYS.
3. God, the Holy Spirit is omnipresent and He can dwell in an unlimited number of believers at the same time. He is not limited by a physical body, as Jesus was when He came! Only those born again, can receive Him and become living temples of God.
- John 14:15-18 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper (in original, in the Greek language: “helper” was Parakletos = Helper, Counselor, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener) that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

- Acts 7:51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.”
- Mark 13:11 "But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.”
7. God, the Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of Truth” is the most wonderful gift from our Heavenly Father (without Him, becoming born again and being saved would be impossible). The Holy Spirit is the Truth.
- Luke 11:13 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

And this kind of power indwells and equips a Christian to bring others to salvation. People are not going to come to Jesus because we speak beautiful, passionate words or lots of words just right. Only the anointing of the Holy Spirit working through us when we minister salvation to others can convict people their sins and help them realize their need for a Savior.

But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills”
9. The gift of the Holy Spirit is received by those who desire Him. More of Him is available for those who are searching and hungry for Him after they have repented and are obeying His will.
- Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Sometimes, people do not realize there is more available after salvation. And of those who do, then then many of those who experience the presence of the Holy Spirit, still do not go further. For those who are searching to receive more, who take time to seek the Lord and soak in His presence; these are the ones who receive the gifts that operate through Holy Spirit. Everyone is given the opportunity to live a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and experience His gifts. The Apostle Paul has urged us to desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit, in

1 "...desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy”
5 “... I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied”
12 "Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.”
39 "Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.”

18. The presence of God, the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life will be noticed by those around them. The life given by Him will issue forth with praise for the Lord Jesus, the lover of their soul, this one who is full of Holy Spirit.
- John 7:38-39 “whoever believes in me should drink. As the scripture says, ‘Streams of life-giving water will pour out from his side.’” Jesus said this about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were going to receive. At that time the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not been raised to glory."
19. God, the Holy Spirit guides and counsels those who are searching for His advice, helping them to live for God and not for themselves.

- 1 Peter 1:22 "Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart”
25. The sword of God, the Holy Spirit, which is the Scripture, has the power to separate us from the carnal nature and reveal the true nature of our thoughts and emotions.
- Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
- Ephesians 6:17 "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”
What happens when God, the Holy Spirit is rejected?
The blasphemy against Holy Spirit starts with fighting against the conviction that He brings in the heart of the sinner. No one can receive the forgiveness of sins and inherit eternal life, if they do not accept the truth as revealed by Holy Spirit; we must to repent and obey. The resistance and denying of the work of Holy Spirit is eternal sin, if the person dies in that state. Why? Because the person is denying the only way to receive forgiveness of personal sins. God does not force anyone to receive salvation. He created man with free will to have the freedom to choose.
- Mark 3:29 "but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”
I pray that this article encourages your heart with the desire to know Father God and His Son, Jesus Christ even more, through a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is willing to reveal to us all that our Heavenly Father has for us. He is here to lead and guide us, step by step, caring for all our needs and He is here to show us the Father's solutions to every day life, but He will never go where He is not wanted or force us into anything. While He does not give us more of Himself than we ask for; we can never have too much of Him or know Him too well! We will have a whole eternity to discover the wonders of who the Holy Spirit really is and I can hardly wait! In the meantime, I pray that the thirst for more of Him, who is the source of "living water," to keep us growing in Him, so we will be sure to never forsake the Lord of our lives, Jesus Christ!
