The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of God and Jesus. He is also called the Holy Ghost. Jesus said that He
would be our comforter. A comforter is someone who gives you hope and makes you
not afraid of anything. Jesus sent Him to guide us and to remind us of the
things that He taught while He was on earth. The Holy Spirit is with us
always. You can talk to Him and ask Him to help you with anything ...
Anytime! To have the Holy Spirit in your life, all you have to do is believe in
Him and invite Him or else you will never know Him. He will be your best friend
forever.
Who is the Holy Spirit? It is God's Spirit and He has been here from the beginning ...
|
Genesis 1:2
And the Earth was without form, and
void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters. |
The Holy Spirit is the GIFT that Jesus left forALL OF US, when He departed to
Heaven.
Jesus made us a PROMISE ...
|
John 14:16-21
And I will pray the Father, and He shall
give you another Comforter,
that He may abide with you for ever; Even the
Spirit of Truth;
whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while,
and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall
live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me,
and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, He it is
that loveth me: and He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love Him, and will manifest myself to Him. |
I leave you a Comforter, the Holy Spirit.
|
John 14:26
But
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
He shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. |
|
John 15:26-27
But when the
Comforter
is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of Truth,
which proceedeth from the Father, He
shall testify of me: And ye also
shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. |
|
John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the Truth; It is
expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away,
the Comforter
will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. |
|
John 16:13-14
Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth,
is come, He will guide you into all
truth: for He shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever He shall hear,
that shall He speak:
and He will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me:
for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. |
It was Pentecost which is 50 days after the Resurrection of Jesus (Easter)
and the followers of Jesus were all gathered together in an upper room and
Jesus' Promise ... The Holy Spirit, introduced himself to them in a most unique
way.
|
Acts 2:2-4
And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. |
From that point on, the Holy Spirit has been a Comforter to all Christians.
Even Today ...
Did you know that JESUS said that the ONLY unforgivable sin ...
Is blasphemy against the Holy
Spirit?
|
Matthew
12:31
Wherefore I say unto you,
All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven unto men:
but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
shall not be forgiven unto men. |
Knowing this TRUTH, it would be good to know how someone would commit blasphemy
against the Holy Spirit, as to avoid doing so. The Bible says that it is
impossible to be forgiven, if one has experienced the gift of the Holy Spirit
and "fell away" or decided to go back to their old ways, and pretend the TRUTH
never existed, as it would be like crucifying Jesus afresh.
|
Hebrews 6:4-6
For it is impossible
for those who were
once enlightened,
and have tasted of the Heavenly gift,
and were made partakers of the Holy
Ghost, And have tasted the good word
of God, and the powers of the world to come,
IF they shall fall away,
to renew them again unto repentance;
seeing they crucify to themselves
the Son of God afresh, and put him
to an open shame. |
Now this does not mean that we will not fall as we sojourn down our Christian
walk. This means we should not fall AWAY
and stay away. Always beware cuz the devil likes to twist scripture around as to
try and condemn Christians and make em feel they have no part in God's plan or have fallen
from God's Grace.
The TRUTH is just the opposite ...
|
John
3:16-17
For God SO LOVED the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might
be saved. |
It is obvious that God is looking for ways to get us into Heaven
...
NOT keep us out.
But, how
do we get "introduced" to the Holy Spirit?
According to Jesus ... All you have to do is believe in
Jesus ...
|
John 7:38-39
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. (But
this spake He of the Spirit, which
they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet
given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) |
And ask God for the Holy Spirit.
|
Luke
11:13
If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your
Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? |
He will actually speak to your mind
and heart, IF you will listen.
|
Hebrews
3:7
Wherefore as the Holy
Ghost saith, Today IF ye will hear his voice. |
Did you know
... Our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit?
He lives INSIDE of us.
|
1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
|
1
Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that
your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? |
There is also the issue of the GIFTS of
the Holy Spirit (1
Corinthians, Chapter 12).
The
entire chapter speaks of these gifts and why God gives these gifts to us, by way
of the Holy Spirit. The intent of the gifts is so that we can use them to teach
others about God as to edify HIM, not us. It says that different administrations
require different gifts, but we all work for the Lord and are of the same body
of Christ. Here are some of the gifts ... Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith,Healing,
Miracle Working, Prophecy, Discerning of Spirits, Tongues and the ability to
interpret tongues.
|
1
Corinthians 12:8-10
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word
of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to
another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of
miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to
another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: |
Here are some of the administrations that God assigns to those that He chooses
and that He gives the gifts of the Holy Spirit to ...
Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Miracle
Workers, Healers, Helpers, Governments, Different Tongues.
|
1 Corinthians 12:28
And God hath set
some
in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers,
after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,
diversities of tongues. |
Many believe that
speaking in tongues is something that automatically happens when the Holy Spirit
is within you. It is just not true.
|
1
Corinthians 12:29-30
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of
miracles? Have all the gifts of healing?
do all speak with tongues?
do all interpret? |
This reveals to us that the gifts are given as we NEED them. The gift of
speaking in tongues was given to the Apostles
because they spoke to large groups of people of different languages and ALL
people of different languages were able to understand this spiritually universal
language.
|
Acts 2:2-4
And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. |
|
Acts 2:8-12
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and
in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in
Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews
and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues
the wonderful works of God. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt,
saying one to another, What meaneth this? |
In
1 Corinthians, Chapter 14
Paul tells us that it is better to prophecy than to speak in tongues. He goes on
to say that for one to speak in tongues and not be able to interpret what they
are
saying to those he is speaking to, is a form of self edification and of no use. It does not edify
God.
He says that he would rather speak 5
clear words which all could understand, than 10,000 words
which nobody understands.
|
1
Corinthians 14:19
Yet in the church I had rather
speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach
others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. |
His point is ... Why would anyone want to teach others in an unknown language when those that he
is teaching cannot even understand him? In this day and age, we are usually sharing
truth,
teaching or speaking to another that understands our language and therefore we do
not NEED the gift of Tongues. Perhaps if the administration called for it, God
would give it to you in that hour.
Again ... The Apostle Paul explains it very well in his letter to the
Corinthians:
|
1 Corinthians,
Chapter 13
Though I speak with the tongues of
men and of Angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or
a tinkling cymbal. And
though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all
knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not
charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth
not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall
fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be
knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in
part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part
shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood
as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away
childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to
face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity. |
Desire Charity over gifts. Without it ... The
gifts are as nothing.
Obtain Faith Hope and
Charity. But, the greatest of these is CHARITY.
You should
accept your FREE gift of salvation and the gifts of the Holy
Spirit. Always have compassion and love for others, lest your gifts bear no
fruit.
WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
The Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) is but ONE aspect of the ...
TRINITY.
|
1 John 5:7
For there are three
that bear record in Heaven, the
Father, the
Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and
these three are one. |
Again, in the Old Testament He makes it so
clear ...
|
Isaiah 48:16
Come ye near unto me, hear ye this;
I
have not spoken in secret from the
beginning; from the time that it was,
there am I:
and now the Lord GOD,
and his Spirit,
hath sent me. |
Awesome huh? NOT only does Jesus (Being the Word of God) reveal the TRUTH of
the
TRINITY by saying The
Lord
and His Spirit
sent ME
but shares with us that Jesus has been from the beginning, just as the Apostle
John revealed and that it is JESUS that speaks to us in the Word of God (The
Bible) as HE is the WORD of God.
|
John 1:1-14
In the beginning was the
Word, and the
Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him; and without Him
was not any thing made that was made. In Him
was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from
God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of
the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light,
but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which
lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and
the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his
own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them
gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of God. And the Word was
made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of GRACE and TRUTH. |
We, as humans
have been taught by society to be so single dimensional. We see the
physical world but understand not the Spiritual matters. We seem to have
difficulty believing concepts that make no sense to our limited way of
thinking. The answer is to broaden your mind's horizons ...
The Bible is clear ... GOD, JESUS AND THE HOLY
SPIRIT ARE THREE IN ONE.
There are other AWESOME studies within the Christianity Oasis Community that go
into further detail on the Trinity, the Gospel of Jesus and God's Love for His
children. But this study focuses on only one of the three ... The Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit of God is the
one that responds to God's commands, as He did when God said "Let there be
light."
|
Genesis 1:2-3
And the earth was without form,
and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters. And
God
said, (Word of God)
Let there be light: and there was
light. |
The Holy Spirit is the power that separated the Red
Sea for Moses ... The Holy Spirit is the power in David's sling that sent a
stone upon Goliath's forehead and brought the giant to his knees ... The Holy
Ghost is the power that kept the lions from
"dining" with Daniel ... The Holy Spirit was represented by the dove that landed on Jesus, at
His Baptism John 1:32-33 ... The Holy Spirit was the Power to heal at Jesus' Word ...
