The Person of The Holy Spirit
(Part 1)
In
the same way, The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought
to pray for, but The Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words
cannot express.
And
He Who searches our hearts knows the Mind of The Spirit, because The Spirit
intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's Will.
Rom.
8:26-27 NIV
The Holy
Spirit has His own Personality.
He is not an influence or spiritual
force, but is a Person.
He has His own Mind—He thinks for
Himself just like The Father and The Son do have such capability separately.
He has a Will of His own.
He has Knowledge.
The Holy
Spirit is a Person.
He has intellect; He has emotion, and
is not controlled by GOD The Father or by GOD The Son. He is a Person totally
separate from The Father and The Son, but yet they are One.
But
God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for The Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of God.
For
what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but The Spirit of God.
Now
we have received, not the spirit of the world, but The Spirit which is of God;
that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1
Corinthians 2:10-12 KJV
“The Spirit” knows the depth of GOD. He
reveals “The Father” to whomever He will.
No person
knows you better than yourself; likewise, nobody knows GOD better than The Holy
Spirit does.
It is His Joy to reveal “The Father” to
us.
He
is The Only One capable of searching the deep things of GOD.
Who knows
you better than your own spirit?
Nobody
knows GOD, but The Holy Spirit knows Him.
Also, it is “The Spirit of God” that
reveals Christ to the world.
Likewise, He is The One Who decides the
gifts for the body of Christ.
The
Holy Spirit could have decided not to raise Jesus from the dead, but He was
committed to Jesus.
He
could have changed His mind half-way, hence He has His own Personal decision
all along—and you and I would have never been saved, and Jesus would have died
and not be raised. And the work of the cross would have been in vain.
“The
Father”, “The Son” and “The Holy Spirit” are individually separate from each
other, yet they are One and the same.
The Divine
Trinity is a Mystery.
The Holy Spirit was so faithful to Jesus. He did
not fail Jesus, not even one time!
The
Holy Spirit was right on schedule at the river Jordan.
Then
cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
But
John forbad Him, saying, I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to
me?
And
Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us
to fulfil all righteousness.
Then
he suffered Him.
And
Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the
heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw The Spirit of God descending like a
dove,
and
lighting upon Him:
And
lo a Voice from Heaven, saying, This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well
pleased.
Matthew
3:13-17 KJV
The
Holy Spirit even led Jesus into the wilderness, after He came out of the
Jordan; to be tempted, and brought Him out in victory and empowered Him.
The miracles of Jesus and His deliverance ministry were performed
through The Holy Spirit Who reveals the blessed work of Calvary.
He is “The Great
Revealer”.
There would have been no Bible had He not revealed The Word of GOD to the
prophets and the apostles.
Jesus so trusted The Holy Spirit, and
He surrendered to Him before He became a man—knowing that He will keep Him,
empower Him and raise Him from the dead.
When Jesus left Heaven, He had no way
back except by The Holy Spirit.
When Jesus
offered Himself to The Father, He offered Himself through The Holy Ghost.
In
other words, when “The Father” said to The Son,
“Will you go?”
Jesus
said,
“I will go on one condition—if The Holy
Spirit will sustain Me, empower Me and bring Me back home.”
And
then, The Holy Spirit said,
“I will do it!”
Then,
Jesus said,
“I totally surrender to You!”
Jesus knows
“The Holy Spirit” so well and He surrendered to Him.
If Jesus was
so depended on The Holy Spirit how about you?
“The Father” sent “The Son”.
The Son came and did the Will of The
Father.
And The Holy Spirit reveals Him to us.
For
God so Loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.
John
3:16 KJV
The Father
said it.
Jesus did
it.
And The Holy
Spirit revealed Him.
Christianity
is a Revelation—the Revelation of Jesus
Christ. This Revelation is given by The Holy Spirit.
You
would not have known Jesus without The Holy Spirit.
