down the following list. Take your time. Get your Bible and check these verses out for yourself – slowly, so you can get to know – I mean really know Who the Holy Spirit is.
John 15:26 The Holy Spirit witnesses to Jesus.
John 16:8 The Holy Spirit convinces (convicts) the world of sin.
John 16:13 The Holy Spirit guides us to the truth.
Acts 13:2 The Holy Spirit calls us into ministry.
Acts 16:6-7 The Holy Spirit restricts our activities.
Acts 20:28 The Holy Spirit appoints us to leadership.
Romans 8:14 The Holy Spirit leads us.
Romans 8:15-16 The Holy Spirit bears witness to our spirit.
Romans 8:26-27 The Holy Spirit helps us and intercedes for us.
Revelation 2:7 The Holy Spirit speaks to the Church.
Matthew 12:31-32 The Holy Spirit can be blasphemed.
Ephesians 4:30 The Holy Spirit can be grieved.
Acts 5:3-4 The Holy Spirit can be lied to.
Your short wandering down the list only scratches the surface of “Who” the Holy Spirit is, but it’s a start! The more you read the scriptures, the more often the mask comes off and God reveals His person. God wants a “personal” relationship with you, and has come in the person of the Holy Spirit to initiate that friendship. Don’t run. Hang in there and the smoke will begin to clear.
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.
Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.TPD4DPT
