Read whole chapter of John 16 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." - John16:13 -In the olden times the Holy Spirit came and left, and also only came on certain people. -But in New Testament, we are righteous, so the Holy Spirit can come and live in you forever "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever" But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. (John 14:26 NKJV) -He is our Comforter, Intercessor, Helper. -The Holy Spirit is like a stamp that says you belong to God. The Holy Spirit is a PERSON!!! -Some religions and doctrines say that He is a power or He doesn't really apply to us or whatever. -The Holy Spirit is NOT a power, an object, or a thing that you use. The Holy Spirit is not an "it". -He is a living person, someone who deserves our respect. He is God. -Not something God made not God's power, but God Himself. -The Holy Spirit has emotions and feelings -Jesus has a physical and the Holy Spirit doesn't, but He demonstrates the characters of God (Himself) through us. "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." - Ephesians 4:30 -You can not make a power or an item or an object happy or sad, or hurt, or grieved. -Only a person can have feelings. -Jesus was born by the Holy Spirit -Jesus left His power in heaven -So without the Holy Spirit Jesus would not have been able to do any miracles and wonders -Only after His baptism did the Holy Spirit come upon Jesus. -The Holy Spirit put Jesus through a time of testing. And with the Holy Spirit's help Jesus won. -God has called us to do great things for him, but we have to go through trials and triumph over our temptations. -But the Holy Spirit will be there to help us. -After the testing if we succeed the angels will serve and help us and -King Saul and King Solomon failed their jobs, because they didn't go through testing. -King David went through many trials and testing and he was faithful to God to the end. -The Holy Spirit lives in us forever. And so it means He sees us as holy. Because He can only stay with us of we are holy. 1 Corinthians 2:10 "But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God." |
