Holy Spirit:Who is He,What is He like,What is His purpose
Posted : 3 Jul, 2011 11:49 AM
The Holy Spirit:
He is the third person within the triune Godhead.
He is co-equal with the Father and the SON.
He is Omnipotent,Omnipresent,and Omniscient.
The Holy Spirit is involved both within the creation of everything we can see and cannot see.
And He is involved with the Salvation of man.
Yet the Holy Spirit is the most unknown person of the Triune Godhead,
And He is the most misunderstood person in the Godhead.
There have been attributed 'Events,Movements',sayings,and a host of other things,that are not spoken of within the Scriptures which He the Holy Spirit had empowered men to write.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth,would He not have recorded in Scripture that which He is responsible for.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Let us look into the WORD of GOD and see the Holy Spirit as revealed by the Father,and the Son.
The Holy Spirit is 'GENTLE'
Gen 1:1 In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth--
Gen 1:2 the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness is on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,
The Holy Spirit is 'WISE',He empowers people to do as GOD would have them to do.
Exo 31:1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Exo 31:2 `See, I have called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
Exo 31:3 and I fill him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
Exo 31:4 to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Exo 31:5 and in graving of stone for settings, and in graving of wood to work in all work.
Exo 31:6 `And I, lo, I have given with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every wise-hearted one I have given wisdom, and they have made all that which I have commanded thee.
Jdg 3:10 and the Spirit of Jehovah is upon him, and he judgeth Israel, and goeth out to battle, and Jehovah giveth unto his hand Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram, and strong is his hand against Chushan-Rishathaim;
Jdg 3:11 and the land resteth forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dieth,
The Holy Spirit speaks:
2Sa 23:2 The Spirit of Jehovah hath spoken by me, And His word is on my tongue.
2Sa 23:3 He said--the God of Israel--to me, He spake--the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man is righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.
Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Act 8:29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join yourself to this chariot.
Rev 2:7 The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To the one overcoming, I will give to him to eat of the Tree of Life which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.
The Holy Spirit in prophesy:
Isa 11:1 And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful.
Isa 11:2 Rested on him hath the Spirit of Jehovah, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and fear of Jehovah.
Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
Isa 61:3 To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah--to be beautified.'
Fulfilled:
Luk 4:17 And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And unrolling the book, He found the place where it was written:
Luk 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me. Because of this He anointed Me to proclaim the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me" to heal the brokenhearted, "to proclaim remission to captives, and to the blind to see again," to send away the ones being crushed, in remission,
Luk 4:19 "to preach an acceptable year of the Lord." Isa. 61:1, 2
Holy Spirit can be grieved:
The Isa 63:10 And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against them.
Eph 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed to the day of redemption.
The Holy Spirit in Salvation of man:
John 3:5 Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;
John 3:6 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7 `Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
John 6:63 the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;
The Holy Spirit 'LEADS PEOPLE INTO WORSHIPPING YESHUA'
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'
John 4:22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;
John 4:23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;
John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.
The Holy Spirit;Leads,guides,teaches,and He reveals things to come.
John 16:13 and when He may come--the Spirit of truth--He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;
The Holy Spirit glorifies Yeshua:
Joh 16:14 He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.
The 'MAIN WORKING of The Holy Spirit' is to glorify Yeshua.
iAct 1:8 but you will receive power, the Holy Spirit coming
upon you, and you will be witnesses of Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
The Holy Spirit empowers people with the Charisma/gifts
to further the Gospel.
1Co 12:4 And there are differences of gifts, but the same Spirit;
1Co 12:5 and there are differences of ministries, yet the same Lord.
The Holy Spirit reveals His life in the believer:
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 meekness, self-control. Against such things there is not a law.
There are some groups of people which follow,chase,and seek,the Holy Spirit.
Yet we are not called to this,but rather to seek FIRST the KINGSHIP of GOD.
Mat 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Some pray to the HOLY SPIRIT;Yet Yeshua tells us WHO we are to be praying to.
Mat 6:6 But you, when you pray, enter into your room and shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret. And your Father seeing in secret will repay you in the open.
Mat 6:7 But when you pray, do not be babbling vain words, as the nations; for they think that they shall be heard in their much speaking.
Mat 6:8 Then do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.
Mat 6:9 So, then, you should pray this way: Our Father who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
The Holy Spirit does not bring any attention to HIMSELF.
Rather He brings all the ATTENTION to YESHUA.
John 16:13 But when that One comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you into all Truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will announce the coming things to you.
John 16:14 That One will glorify Me, for He will receive from Mine and will announce to you.
There is so much more,that others can add to this.

Ella,
Thanks for the kind words, and for sharing your wisdom and knowledge on this forum. I really enjoy reading your informative posts and like you said continue to learn daily!
G-d Bless you Ella, as you endeavor to serve our awesome Creator and search the scriptures for revelation of the mysteries he reveals, which is far more precious than silver or gold. (well, I don't know, the price of gold is really up now. lol!) :laugh:
May you be rewarded as you diligently seek HIM. "Seek ye first the kingdom of G-d and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you"
