WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 John 16:7

“However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]”

Additional Verses

📖 Isaiah 9:6; Romans 8:1-17; 1 John 2:1-6

Until you know Who The Holy Spirit of God is, it will not be possible for you to enjoy the full benefits of your heritage as a child of God. There can never be really an overflow of God’s blessings in your life because it is the full understanding of Who the Holy Spirit really is, that will open doors to God’s blessings upon your life. In John 16:7 the LORD Jesus Christ spells out to us who the Holy Spirit really is and also what exactly He will do from the moment He takes charge of our lives. Firstly it is important for every child of God to understand that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead Who is not less than the Father and the Son. When you examine the functions of the Holy Spirit in John 16:7 above, you will discover that He is given the same identity as Jesus Christ. He is mentioned as the Counselor the same as Jesus Christ in Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the Government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” He is also described as the Advocate just as Jesus Christ is described in 1 John 2:1, “My little children, these things write l unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God mentioned in Genesis Chapter 1 from Whom all creation proceeded through the Word of God who is Jesus Christ (John 1:1-5). The Holy Spirit is therefore God Almighty, and the Holy Spirit is the LORD Jesus Christ. He can also be further comprehended as the One who gave birth to the Son of God in Luke 1:31-35, while at the same time the Son is no lesser than the Father and the Holy Spirit as the Prophet Isaiah Chapter 9:6 says. As a child of God, from the day you were born again and you received the anointing and you became a sanctuary of the Creator of the world who is able to bring excellence in every area of your life. The reason why so many children of God continue to suffer from sicknesses, disease, unemployment, failure at school or college and in everything they do, is because of their ignorance of who the Holy Spirit really is. Romans 8:11 says, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.” The Holy Spirit, once you really know Who He is, He will make the glory of God to manifest in every area of your life. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit so that He may carry His functions within my life. Let me be open to what He leads me to do so that each day my fellowshipping comes closer to You. Thank You LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
