Who is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is often one of the most misunderstood
members of the Godhead. There is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
He was there in the beginning with God because He is God. Due to Him being part
of the Godhead, there is no separating Him from God. He is equally as important
and should never be downplayed as if to say that He doesn’t exist.
Many people
make the mistake of referring to the Holy Spirit as an inanimate object. They
will often classify Him as an “it.” Therefore, they take away the nature of who
He is and reduce Him as someone or in their minds, “something” that is irrelevant.
Yet, nothing could be further from the truth because He is Truth. The Holy Spirit
is the very essence of who God is. Without the Holy Spirit, the Body of Christ
would lack the Power that we need to operate fully as a unit. Just as a vehicle
needs gas and/or in modern times electricity to run, we need the Holy Spirit to
fuel us with His power. Without Him, we are not able to fully run and operate
in our calling.
Getting
to know the Holy Spirit and making Him personal in your life will give you an
overwhelming closeness to God like never before. You will experience the fire that
is needed to combat the enemy for the devil fears those who have the Holy
Spirit because of the Holy Spirit empowering them to fight his evil forces off
with a certainty to win like never before. Many people like action figures
because they have fictional super powers to defeat the bad guys. Well, the Holy
Spirit is our Super Power who helps us to defeat the enemy. All we have to do
is invite Him in, tap into His power source, and allow Him to do the rest.
As you read and understand, over the next week, about who the
Holy Spirit is in this lesson, invite Him to freely come inside your heart, so
that you may have a personal relationship with Him and get to know more about Who
He Is. Join us tomorrow as we answer the question, "Who is the Holy Spirit?"
