Then, what is the real Holy Spirit?

Then, what is the real Holy Spirit? Christianity is not just a religion but it is a way of Life. None of us could remain a Christian if it wasn't for someone, always with us, to help us thru this walk. Our understanding of Prophecy nor Scripture would be complete without someone teaching us what the truth was. Beginning with Genesis thru the Book of Revelations the Holy Ghost {Holy Spirit} has always been with God for He is Gods Spirit. The Holy Ghost is mentioned 89 times in the new Testament alone. The Holy Ghost is our comforter and He leads us into all truths of the Bible. To say that the Holy Ghost has not yet arrived, would be saying that Jesus did not do what He said He would do. 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. Without the leadership of the Holy Ghost, the Bible would never have been written. Lets talk a little about the Baptisms of John the Baptist. If you've noticed in Scripture, the passages that speak of our salvation, the Holy Ghost when instructing what is to be written, He never speaks of Himself, as was promised by Jesus. [Eph_3:5; 1Pe_1:12.] 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. 1Co 2:10-13; But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1Co 2:10-13 tells us that without the guidance of the Spirit, man would only know the things of man, carnal things. The Bible cannot be understood by the carnal mind, why, because the carnal mind is at em-empty with God, it is not subject to the laws of God and neither can be. Mans wisdom and knowledge is limited to the carnal, the things of the flesh. We must separate the flesh from the spirit and start thinking in the spiritual and not the physical. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. "Comparing spiritual things with spiritual", This is where many find trouble with Bible interpretation, they try to compare Spiritual with the physical, the temperial with the immortal. Now to understand who the Holy Ghost is, in John 16:13-14 & 1Co 2:10-13, the Holy Ghost is called "The Spirit Of Truth, "The Holy Ghost", "The Comforter", "The Holy Spirit" & "The Spirit of God." This tells us that all these are one with God, for the Spirit spoken of, is God. He is part of what we call the "Holy Trinity." Many dispute this assumption, but its hard to kick against what the Scriptures are stating. Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: The Baptisms that John performed were a prelude to the real Baptisms under the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. John Baptized unto Repentance, but under the name of Jesus we are Baptized under Salvation. Jesus emphasized great importance on the Holy Ghost. Even John the Baptist mentions His importance, not for Himself but for the Testimony from Him of The Christ. Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Why? Because these three are one, you cannot have one without the other. The Holy Ghost gives power unto the Believer, to perform the things of the Christ. This is where the end times Church is missing out on all the blessings of God, because of their belief that the Gifts of the Spirit were for an earlier age. Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. A Director of Man; Act 13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. Act 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; The commission of the Holy Ghost; John 16:7-15; 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. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: "Reprove", 1. To blame; to censure. 2. To charge with a fault to the face; to chide; to reprehend. Luke 3. 3. To blame for; with of; as, to reprove one of laziness. 4. To convince of a fault, or to make it manifest. 5. To refute; to disprove. 6. To excite a sense of guilt. The heart or conscience reproves us. I'm not to fond of the word, "conscience" for what people call conscience, is the spirit within the man. 7. To manifest silent disapprobation or blame. [The vicious cannot bear the presence of the good, whose very looks reprove them, and whose life is a severe, though silent admonition. The Holy Ghost is the one who convicts us of our sin.] Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. Part of the commission of The Spirit is to also help us thru our many infirmities . Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Sin is the fault of man, who has chosen to sin. Sin was not forgiven under the Law but were only put off for another year. Even David and the prophets of the Old Testament were directed by the Holy Ghost{Spirit} Mar 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. Mat 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. What is the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost? An indignity offered to God by words or writing; reproachful, contemptuous or irreverent words uttered impiously against Jehovah. Blasphemy is an injury offered to God, by denying that which is due and belonging to him, or attributing to him that which is not agreeable to his nature. In the middle ages, blasphemy was used to denote simply the blaming or condemning of a person or thing. Among the Greeks, to blaspheme was to use words of ill omen, which they were careful to avoid. 1. That which derogates from the prerogatives of God. Mark 2. To speak of the Supreme Being in terms of impious irreverence; to revile or speak reproachfully of God, or the Holy Spirit. 1 Ki 21. Mark 3. 2. To speak evil of; to utter abuse or calumny against; to speak reproachfully of. 1. To arrogate the prerogatives of God. This man blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins but God? Math.9. Mark 2. IMPI'ETY, n. [L. impietas;in and pietas, pius.] 1. Ungodliness; irreverence towards the Supreme being; contempt of the divine character and authority; neglect of the divine precepts. These constitute different degrees of impiety. 2. Any act of wickedness,as blasphemy and scoffing at the Supreme Being, or at his authority; profaneness. Any expression of contempt for God or his laws, constitutes an impiety of the highest degree of criminality. Disobedience to the divine commands or neglect of duty implies contempt for his authority,and is therefore impiety. Impiety, when it expresses the temper or disposition, has no plural; but it is otherwise when it expresses an act of wickedness, for all such acts are impieties. Here Jesus tells His Deciples not to think about what to say but that the Holy Ghost would direct their words. Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Luke 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. Luke 2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. This next verse is the reason why we can preach and testify of God. John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Act 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 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. 2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 1st Cor. is giving the difference between Charity and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to man. Gifts will eventually cease but Charity will never cease. These are just a few verses that teach us that the Holy Ghost came to us as was promised by Christ.
