As the most misunderstood and neglected member of the Godhead, many people do not recognize the Holy Spirit as God. All the evidence is there, through the entire Word of God, to confirm WHO He is, yet most people choose to ignore Him, limit Him, quench Him, and pretend He does not exist.
The Holy Spirit is a person; He is not an idea, a thought, a breath, or JUST a spirit. Being a person, He is a “HE” (masculine), and deserves all of the honor, love, respect and reverence that are given to the Father and the Son. And He is as much God as the Father and the Son, possessing the same attributes as they do. The Spirit is ALL KNOWING…
“And He asked them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed [on Jesus as the Christ]? And they said, No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” (Acts 19:2)
“But when He, the Spirit of Truth (THE TRUTH-GIVING SPIRIT) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” (John 16:13)
Just as Jesus is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6), so is the Holy Spirit the ‘Spirit of Truth’' it is impossible for there to be any untruth in Him. This is what is living on the inside of us, if we are born-again believers in Jesus as our risen Savior and soon coming King. We have living person living in us, that will lead us into, and to, all truth, if we would just make the effort to ask Him. It is impossible for the Holy Spirit, who is God, to lie…
“God is not a human who lies or a mortal who changes his mind.” (Numbers 23:19)
“…But you know Him, for He abides WITH you and shall be IN YOU.” (John 14:17)
“But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [DIRECTS AND CONTROLS YOU]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]…For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” (Romans 8:9,14)
*May the eyes of your heart be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of his inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe.*Eph 1:18-19* *When I do not know what pray, I thank You, Father, that the (Holy) Spirit comes to my aid and bears me up in my behalf He, the Holy Spirit, goes to plead in my behalf. He intercedes in my behalf in harmony with God's will.*
