Who is the HOLY SPIRIT?
Holy Spirit, is believed to be the third Person of the Trinity, a triune God manifested as God ( The Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), and each being God. The Holy Spirit is what our Lord is Jesus promised us at His departure from earth.
The Holy Spirit as we will see explicitly in a moment, is fully God, and as such, has no limitations.
The Holy Spirit is fully God, He share fully in the divine nature, as such he possesses all the qualities that God possesses. He is omniscient, that is, he knows all things. He is omnipresent, which means that he is everywhere Holy Spirit unites the believer with Christ and places him in the body of Christ, the church. He also unites the believer with Christ in His death, enabling him to live victoriously over sin. The Holy Spirit controls the believer who yields to God and submits himself to God’s Word.
Holy Spirit teach us all things, bring us all things back to our memory
He is the Spirit of truth.
Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal with God the Father and God the Son and is of the same essence. Yet He is also distinct from them.
Scripture describes the Holy Spirit in personal terms, not as an impersonal force when it says that He teaches, guides, comforts, and intercedes.
[1] He possesses emotions, intellect, and will. The Bible tells us not to grief the Holy Spirit.
[2] The Holy Spirit spoke to Philip and counseled the Jerusalem church.
3] He was sinned against and lied to.
[4] The Scriptures also attest to the deity of the Holy Spirit. He is spoken of as God and is identified with the title of Jehovah.
[5] The Christian who the Spirit indwells is indwelled by God.
[6] The Holy Spirit possesses the attributes of a deity, such as omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence and eternality.
[7] He does works only God can do, such as creating, regenerating and sanctifying.
[8] He is equally associated with the other members of the Trinity.
[9] The Spirit had a ministry of restraining sin and in the creation of the world.
[10] The Holy Spirit today plays a major role in the application of salvation to the individual. It is the Spirit who brings conviction to the unbeliever and causes him to see the truth of the gospel in a clear light.
[11] Those who respond to this conviction and place their faith in Jesus Christ receive eternal life and a new nature.
[13] The Holy Spirit unites the believer with Christ and places him in the body of Christ, the church.[
14] He also unites the believer with Christ in His death, enabling him to live victoriously over sin.[15] The Holy Spirit controls the believer who yields to God and submits himself to God’s Word.
[16] When these conditions are met, the believer lives in the power of the Spirit and produces the fruit of the Spirit.
[17] The Holy Spirit indwells the believer permanently.
[18] While the child of God may sin and grieve the Spirit, the Spirit will never leave the true believer.
[19] Absence of the Holy Spirit is the mark of the unsaved.
[20] The Holy Spirit seals the believer
.[21] This ministry guarantees the security of the believer “until the day of redemption.
How can I be filled with HOLY SPIRIT!-
To be filled is to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit. To be filled means that the Holy Spirit has the freedom to occupy every part of our lives, guiding and contro tolling us. The believer should be so completely yielded to the Holy Spirit that He can possess them fully and, in that sense, fill them.
No one can have access to God the father and God the Son without God the Holy Spirit.
Inconclusively, We are in the Era of the Holy Spirit as such a believer must constantly be in the spirit not to fully the desires of the flesh.. John 6 ; 63 is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
