Who is the Spirit? 🕊️
The Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood person of the Trinity. Some think He’s a power or a feeling. Others have heard Him called the Holy Ghost, and they’re not sure what to make of that.
Do you know who the Holy Spirit is? Do you treat Him like a friend or a mystical power?
People often ask me, “Paul Marc, how do I live in the Spirit?” It’s very hard to live in the Spirit when you don’t understand Him. Yes, I called the Holy Spirit “Him.”
Let’s spend a few minutes looking at truths about the Holy Spirit:
- The Bible says the Holy Spirit has feelings: “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30, NKJV)
- The Bible calls the Spirit “He” and not “It”: “The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:” (Hebrews 10:15, NIV).
- We find Him at the beginning of creation: “The earth was without form, and void;... And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2, NKJV)
- He can be resisted: “You stiff-necked people!...You always resist the Holy Spirit!” (Acts 7:51, NIV)
- He’s described as a counselor: “for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” (Luke 12:12, NIV)
