THE HOLY SPIRIT
Well many people don’t know the Identity or the person of the HOLY SPIRIT. There are few people think that FATHER is Superior and HOLY SPIRIT is not same as FATHER. My friends if we read Genesis 1:2
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
THE HOLY SPIRIT was always there since the beginning, HE is none other than GOD Himself. As one great man of God gives this symbolic understanding of Father, Son, Holy Spirit as:-
The Sun has two components other than itself i.e. Light and Heat so does the Father has two other forms than HIMSELF i.e. The Son LORD JESUS CHRIST (when God came in flesh),and The HOLY SPIRIT(in Spirit form).The Light is Lord JESUS CHRIST and the Heat is compared to the HOLY SPIRIT. One man of God compares God to water existing in three states i.e. solid, liquid and vapour form, so does God is Triune but still one. HE cannot be considered as three but HE is the same GOD manifesting HIMSELF in three ways. It is the HOLY SPIRIT that performs or manifests the mind and fulfills the will of God on earth. HOLY SIRIT is the very Breath of GOD(Ru-ah).In simple words God in flesh is JESUS and God in Spirit is HOLY SPIRIT.
HOLY SPIRIT manifests HIMSELF in various ways in the scripture. HE is known as the The Spirit of Truth(John 14:17),The Spirit of JESUS,The Spirit of GOD,The Spirit of Glory (1 Peter 4:14),The Spirit of Grace(Zechariah 12:10),The Helper(John 14:16,26),The Comforter(Acts 9:31),Omnipotent(Luke 1:35),Omniscient(1 Corinthians 2:10,11),Omnipresent(Psalm 139:7-13),The Eternal Spirit(Hebrews 9:14),Same as God(Acts 5:3,4),Joined with The Father and The Son Lord JESUS CHRIST(Matthew 28:19,2 Corinthians 13:14),Who makes us New Creation(John 3:3,8),helps us in our weaknesses(Romans 8:26),Is grieved(Ephesians 4:30),Creates(Job 33:4 and Ezekiel 37:1-10),Renews (Isaiah 32:15),Anointing source(Luke 4:18,Acts 10:38),Convicts people(John 16:8-11),source of deliverance(Matthew 12:28),Has Resurrection power(Romans 8:11),Justifies(1 Timothy 3:16),Source of the Scriptures(2 Timothy 3:16),source of the Gifts( 1 Corinthians 12:3-12),source of Fruit(Galatians 5:22,23),manifested in many Anointings/forms/ways(Isaiah 11:2),Transforms us into HIS Witness(Acts 1:8),Results in Prophecy, Visions, Dreams(Joel 2:28,29,Acts 2:17)
