WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT>
Even Christians who think they know the Holy Spirit do not many times recognize Him as a divine Person Third Person of the Godhead. He is a Personal friend Teacher , the doctrine of the Holy Spirit as a divine Personality is not only extremely practical and our relationship to Him. Any one who knows God the Father and God the Son with out having a true understanding of God the Holy Spirit has not come to the fullness of Christian conception of God, nor has he/she come to the fullness of Christian experience. Triune Godhead.
We read to relate to the Holy Spirit properly giving Him love, trust, surrender, and obedience. He does His work on the earth, and yield to Him correctly in a biblical way- as a divine Person of defined majesty and glory . Than we will relate to Him, properly by asking questions such as,
!) “ How can I surrender more completely to the Holy Spirit’?
2) How can the Holy Spirit possess me and use me in a greater way’?
Surrendering our lives to the Person of the Holy Spirit will cause us to mature in Christ.
We need to acknowledged the Holy Spirit as a divine Person of infinite majesty who has come to dwell in our hearts, take possession of us, and work out God’s eternal plan and predestined Will in us, for us, and through us, until we are a peruse to the glory of the Father. The blessed Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead who has come, to dwell in our hearts and to restore us to the image of our God as He in His infinite wisdom unfolds His predestined plan for our lives. When we truly get acquainted with the Holy Spirit as a person our lives will be transformed.
This is my personal testimony as well. I served God for many years not really acknowledging the Holy Spirit as I should of been, than a full gospel Minister introduced me to the Holy Spirit and how to really worship God. I feel so sad for the Christians who because of one reason or another will not experience the wonderful touch of the Holy Spirit in their lives. There is nothing like it. Words can not really describe the blessed feeling. Filled to the point of over flowing…I want to help others to know the Holy Spirit in their lives and be transformed.
The generally accepted attributes of personality are intellect,emotions, acknowledge, will, and feelings. One who thinks, feels and exercises His Will in a Person.
We human beings will one day loose our corporeality. (kawr páwree) 1. concerning the physical body: relating to or involving the physical body rather than the mind or spirit 2. material: material or physical rather than spiritual) our earthly life will end in this world and we will depart from these bodies this does not mean we will cease to be persons, however the Bible says that when we are absent from the body we are in the presence of the Lord (1Cor. 5 :23) So we will be alive in the presence of the Lord without mortal bodies. (1Cor 2:11) The Holy Spirit in this passage is attributed to knowing “Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is a Person who Himself knows the things of God and reveals them to US.
The Holy Spirit came to unstruct us, to become our Teacher Jesus said, “ But the Counselor the Holy Spirit when the Father will send in my name will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. ( John 14:26)
It is a wonderful privilege today for each of us to have the Holy Spirit, a living Person dwelling within us, opening the class room of our spirits twenty four hours a day and letting us ask about anything we want to know. He never closes school and He never scolds us for asking. This is so wonderful to know that as we study the Bible we have the divine Author of the Book to interpret it and teach us its real and inner most meaning according to His divine knowledge.
The Holy Spirit has His Will in how to give the Gifts to each person (1Cor. 12:11) The Holy Spirit came to earth to fulfill the Will of God in the earth.
EMOTION ( Rom. 15: 30) I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
“ The love of the Spirit” The Holy Spirit is not a blind influence or an “IT”. He is not tongues or gifts or just divine power. He is a divine PERSON, the Third Person of the Godhead, living in us and loving us with His most tender love. Have you even thanked the Holy Spirit for His love? We think of (John 3:16) Jesus love of the church and I love Jesus with all my heart for all He did for me and you for everyone,but have we really considered “ The Love of the Holy Spirit”? Often we thank our heavenly Father for His great love to us, we thank Jesus for loving us enough to die for us. Have we ever knelt in reverence to the Holy Spirit and thanked Him for His great love for us? We owe our salvation to the love of the Holy Spirit, if He had not become the willing Servant to come to the world and seek our lost condition and bring conviction to us, we could not have come to the Savior Jesus Christ. We have all lost a lot by not realizing who this blessed third Person of the Godhead is.
The love He has for us, and the hurt-love He still experiences as a servant bringing us back to the Fathers house.
To briefly summarize the message in this study on the Holy Spirit I would shout out to the church, This blessed Holy Spirit The Third Person of the Godhead, HE IS NOT AN IT. This must be brought to the attention of the people; the church. I am so thankful it has been brought to my attention and now I honor Him the Holy Spirit as a divine Third Person of the Godhead.

1) Do we treat the Holy Spirit as a Person?
2) Do we honor Him love Him and acknowledge Him?
3) Have we learned to communicate with Him?
4) Do we know communion with the Holy Spirit?
5) Do we think of His as One along side us, in us, helping us, comforting us?
6) His companionship?
In this news letter I want to help all of you to really know the Third Person of the Godhead in the way that is deserving to HIM. A study on the personality of this the Third Person of the Godhead as the Bible describes Him … As I was able to come acquainted with the writings of a wonderful spirit filled woman of God; Fuchsia Pickett, I was able to see the Holy Spirit in a whole different way. He has touched my life in a great way and I am so blessed. He lives in me.
My next news letter will be on the Holy Spirit and how He cultivates the gifts and fruit of the Spirit.
God bless all of you
Love , Barbara Miller
