15 Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.

2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.
2 Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.
5 Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, “Speak! ‘Thus says the Lord: “Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
1 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.
3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again.
Everyone that Prophecy did it by the influnece of the Holy Spirit .
5. The spirit gave special skills and intelligence
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

4 to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,
5 in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 “And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

10 The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.
34 But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

Paradox..
Being given extraordinary abilities by the Spirit of God is quite common in the old Testamnet . According to the teachingof the church and possibly in the New testament , all christina possess the Holy Spirit or are connecred to the Holy Spirit . However , very few Christian seem to be able to manifes their potential powers or gifts , which appear to be dormant , this a given birth to system of hiraccy in the church .. So why not .. We will discussed as we dive in .
Personality of the Holy Spirit in the OLD TESTAMENT .
He is the Giver of LIFE . like a mother bird caring for the young .
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
14 If He should set His heart on it, If He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,
15 All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Thus says God the Lord,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
This is example of our ordinary spirit , and we the only portal that allow us to connect to the realm of the spirit .
