WHO
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
PART 1
The Holy Spirit is a Person.
A person speaks for himself, thinks for himself and
talks for himself.
The Holy Spirit is not a new personality on the
earth; He is eternal.
He was there at the creation and at the renewal of
the earth. He was present when GOD said,
"Let Us make man in Our Image…” (Gen.1:26).
The Bible says,
And The Spirit Of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Gen 1:2b KJV)
He is The Breath of GOD that flowed through the body
of the first man that made man a living being. And man became flesh and blood.
He is The One Who enlightened Adam and revealed the
Covenant of Blood.
He spoke to Noah.
It was He Who showed Abel that GOD established the
shedding of blood – as acceptable sacrifice; pointing to the Blood of The Lamb,
which is the only sacrifice for sin, and showed him the cross.
He is The One Who visited Abraham.
He chose Isaac and anointed Jacob.
He led Moses through the wilderness as He brought
Israel out of Egypt.
It was He Who came upon the tabernacle as a cloud
and a fire.
By His awesome Power He brought the people into “the
Promised Land”.
His Power came upon the tribes of Israel.
He is The One Who chose Judah as the tribe through
which The Messiah would come.
His Power came upon the prophets of old from Isaiah
to Malachi.
It was He that anointed John The Baptist at the
river Jordan.
It was He Who spoke to Zechariah that The Messiah
would come in his lifetime.
It was He that came to Elizabeth.
It was He that came upon Mary and anointed her as
the mother of The Son Of God.
GOD is three separate Persons.
Yet One GOD. (Not three, but One GOD).
The LORD is One.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, The Lord is One.
Deut 6:4 NIV
In Isaiah 9:6, GOD THE FATHER is referred to as “The Everlasting Father”. GOD THE SON
is called “The Prince of Peace”. And GOD THE HOLY GHOST is introduced as “Wonderful”,
“Counsellor”.
He is “The Mighty
God”.
God made us also tripartite; spirit, soul and body.
And even our Salvation is in a trinity manner. When you became born again your
spirit was saved; your soul is being renewed every day and your body which is
presently corrupt will be saved on the Resurrection Morning.
You are a trinity!
And so is GOD!
You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a
body—that’s who you are!
The Holy Spirit is The LORD.
He is The Spirit Of The LORD.
He is The LORD
He is JEHOVAH!
Now The Lord is that Spirit: and where The Spirit Of The Lord
is, there is liberty.
2 Cor. 3:17 KJV
Jesus was dependent on The Holy Spirit. He offered
Himself through The Holy Spirit. Jesus knew and trusted that The Holy Spirit
will disrobe Him of His Heavenly form and give Him a form of flesh; and hence,
vindicate Him in Power. Jesus so much depended on Him.
The Son Of God Who is The Eternal Life—The Alpha And
Omega—The One Who is The Beginning And The End; Who knows the end from the
beginning, trusted and relied on The Holy Ghost.
The Son Of God became The Son Of Man that He might
bring redemption to us who were lost in sin. GOD ALMIGHTY Who fills the whole
Heaven became a man through the POWER of The Holy Ghost.
Jesus was given Wisdom by The Spirit as He grew up.
By The Spirit He came into Galilee; by The Spirit He
came to the Jordan and by The Spirit He was led into the wilderness.
'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,'
says The Lord Almighty.
Zech 4:6 NIV
It is not by might nor by Power…
It is not by information but by Revelation.
And at Jordan, The Holy Spirit said: “This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased…”
(Matt. 3:17).
The Holy Spirit is saying today:
“Go back to
your beginning!
It is
there you will find Power!
There, you
will be sustained.
There, you
will find Longevity!
There, you
will find Strength!
Jesus is your “First Love”.
The Holy Spirit came on time to over-shadow Mary and
prepare her for Jesus’ birth in order to fulfill the prophecy:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the
government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:6 KJV
He anointed The Son Of God for ministry. No miracle
took place until The Son Of Man was anointed by The Holy Spirit. He preached
the Gospel and cast out devils by The Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is The Father of The Messiah. Angel
Gabriel called Jesus “The Son Of The Highest” (read Luke 1:32). “Unto us Jesus
is born, unto us The Son is given”.
The experience of Ananias and Sapphira makes clear
what will happen to people who disregard The Spirit.
Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that satan has so
filled your heart that you have lied to The Holy Spirit and have kept for
yourself some of the money you received for the land?
Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was
sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a
thing? You have not lied to men but to God."
When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear
seized all who heard what had happened. Then the young men came forward,
wrapped up his body, and carried
him out and buried him.
About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had
happened. Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got
for the land?"
"Yes," she said, "that is the price."
Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test The Spirit
of The Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door,
and they will carry you out also."
At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the
young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside
her husband. Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these
events.
Acts 5:3-11 NIV
Nobody grieves like The Holy Ghost.
When we sin He grieves.
When we lie He grieves.
When we speak against each other He grieves.
(Read Ephesians 4).
Sin against The Spirit is dangerous. If you don’t
understand the works of The Spirit, don’t talk about them; it is better to keep
quiet.
Pray that everything you do in your local Christian
gathering, and fellowship with Him will be in His perfect Will. Ask Him to be
in control of your meetings. Recognize and regard Him as The Boss of the
service.
When The Holy Spirit is Boss in our services and
meetings, people will begin to receive Christ as their personal Lord and
Savior, and healings will begin to take place across the auditorium. An unusual
anointing follows the preaching and teaching of GOD’s Word—with an incredible
manifestation of GOD’s divine Presence. And a greater number of people will be
saved.
In such service, the altar calls seem to be so easy.
There’s no begging or pleading. Instantly, people flock to the front for
salvation. Just as The Lord promised, The Spirit draws people to Christ. The
Holy Spirit honors the service because He is such a welcomed Guest.
If you want to know about Jesus, then you must
invite The Holy Spirit.
