We are beginning our series of the Holy Spirit!!!! The topic is : THE HOLY SPIRIT! But there are sub-topics under it.
WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT??
Text: John7:37-39, isaiah44:3, Joel2:28, 1john5:7, John15:26.
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the God-head, and he is also God, equal to the Father and Son in every respect. He is the executive Director of God’s operations on earth.(Jn16:8-11).
The Holy Spirit has d same attributes as God, does things only credited to God and bears names similar to that of God. The earlier the believer begins to give the Holy Spirit due recognition and worship He deserves, d better n deeper will his relationship be with Him. The deeper relationship will no doubt, result in a greater manifestation of power and authority in d life of that believer. He enables us to have capacity enlargement! He is d most misunderstood n misinterpreted of the God-head. The Holy Spirit has a personality; He has a presence and effect. He does not fall nor does he speak in tongues. He is a person even though He is not a physical person;
He speaks- Acts13:2
He thinks- Acts15:28
He has emotions- Rom8:2
He has a mind- Rom8:27
He is the third person in the blessed Trinity manifesting in various symbols-Matt3:16(Dove), Acts2:2, Jn3:8(wind)
He makes our mortal bodies alive- Rom8:14
When He leads us, we become joint heirs with Christ- Rom8:14
The Holy Spirit confirms that we are Children of God-Rom8:16
The Holy Spirit prays for us- Rom8:26.
The Holy Spirit is our God ultimated illuminated. When our spirit is indwelled in the Holy Spirit(Rom8:16) it enables us to be illuminated. So when we are adequately illuminated, the Holy Spirit is automatically dominated.
