With the get quick everything mentality of our modern society I felt it feasible to Define THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD and the ramifications that follow in Functions & Sanctity.
From From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is the following:
In Christianity, the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) is the Spirit of God. In mainstream (Trinitarian) Christian beliefs he is the third person of the Trinity. As part of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father and with God the Son.
The Christian theology of the Holy Spirit was the last piece of Trinitarian theology to be fully developed. There is also greater diversity in Christian theology of the Spirit (pneumatology) than there is in the theology of the Son (Christology) or of the Father.
In Scripture there is mention of HIM AS Early as Genesis 01:02 The We mentioned had to have been The Son of Man Known(Psalms 08;04, Matthew 08:22, 17:22, 26:24, & Mark 08:31) also as The Christ & The Begotten Son of GOD(Isaiah 07:14, 09:06, Matthew 28:28, 2 Corinthians 05:21, Hebrews 02:14 & 1 John 03:08) Along With The Holy Spirit or Mind of GOD(Exodus 16:10, 24:16, 40:34, Leviticus 09:06, Numbers 16:19 2 Chronicles 07:01, Psalms 104:31 & Luke 02;09) and GOD HIMSELF THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS(Isaiah 40:28 & Romans 01:20).
In New Testament He Appears after the Life, death & Resurrection of Our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST To EmPower The Disciples to Do & Live as JESUS DID by THE POWER OF GOD(Mark 02:10, 03:15, Luke 05:17, 09:01, John 10:18, 19:10 & Acts 01;08).
In the book of Acts we witness the results of lying to him through Peter, Ananias & his wife(Acts 05:01-11).
We Hear JESUS Speaking to the 11 Disciples whom HE asked to meet HIM on a Mountain in Galilee: I HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN and On Earth! GO to the people of All Nations a Make them MY DISCIPLES(Followers). Baptize them in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, and Teach them to Do Everything I Have Told You. I(JESUS) WILL BE WITH You Always, even Until the End of the world(Matthew 28:16-20).
How cool is that? Assurance that He Will Never leave nor forsake us(Acts 04:23-31). Let's take a moment to examine what Happened once THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOWED UP(verses 32-37): The Group of Followers All Felt THE SAME WAY About Everything. None of Them Claimed that Their Possessions were Their own, and they Shared Everything They Had With Each Other. In a Powerful Way The Apostles(Disciples Turned Teachers) Told Every1 That THE LORD JESUS WAS NOW ALIVE. GOD Gr8ly BLESSED HIS Followers, and No1went in Need of Anything. Every1 Owned Land or Houses They would Give to Any1 in Need.
Wow that's " One accord" or " of the same mind(Romans 12:16)." See there are no mysteries just a DIVINE PLAN that Only Reveals It's Meaning To Those Who Seek THE LORD & Honor HIS WAYS(Isaiah 55:08).
Characteristics of THE HOLY SPIRIT... JOINED WITH THE FATHER & THE SON(2 Corinthians 13:14), OMNIPOTENT(Unlimited Power-Luke 01:35-38), OMNISCIENT(Knowing All Things-1 Corinthians 02:10-11 & Matthew 11:25-30), CREATOR(Genesis 01:02, and Last but not least SOVEREIGN(Supreme in POWER-1 Corinthians 12:06, 11, & 15:28).
Works of THE HOLY SPIRIT...Speaks(Acts 01:16), 28:25, 2 Timothy 03:15-16 & 2 Peter 01:20), Significant Role IN CHRIST'S Ministry(Matthew 03:16-17 & Hebrews 09:11-15), ReGenerates(John 03:03 & 1 Peter 01:22-25), Indwells(Romans 08:09-17), Anoints(1 John 02:20-21, 2 Corinthians -1:21-22 & Ephesians 01:13, 14),Guides(John 16:13), EmPowers(Micah 03:08), Sanctifies(CLEANSES-Romans 15:16, 2 Thessalonians 02:13-17). Comforts(Acts 09:31), Bears Fruit(Galatians 05:22-23) & Illuminates the mind.., 1 Corinthians 02:12-13, Ephesians 01:16-17), Reveals THINGS OF GOD(Isaiah 40:13-14), 1 Corinthians 02:10-13) best of All Promised(Joel 02:28-32).
