What is the Holy Spirit?

Talk about when I was at the Brazilian National Team soccer training camp in Malaysia cause my Dad said it was a cool oppurtunity and I didn’t know how to do a soccer throw in. How that is like how the modern church thinks about the Holy Spirit. We know it exists and we know it’s important we just don’t know what that means for us.

Exodus 14:21 demonstrates the redemptive power of the Holy Spirit as ruach where the red sea is parted by a strong East Wind.

Holy Spirit as Breath

The old testament links the Holy Spirit with Life, especially the giving of it. Life is about breathing, and that is exactly how God uses his Spirit to bring life to Adam.

“the Christian faith is about more than simply believing that certain things are true. Christianity is not just about understanding; it is about renewal and transformation, through the power of a God whose trustworthiness is shown in and through Jesus of Nazareth. The Holy Spirit is understood as the agent of both illumination and transformation, opening us up to the truth and presence of the living God.”

What does the Holy Spirit Do?

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

English Standard Version (Chapter 16)
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

How do I Listen to the Holy Spirit?

Four Ways You Might Hear.

Hearer

8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the boy. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 And the LORD came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.”

Seer

Help to figure out which way God speaks to you.

How does God speak TO me? not just through me?
How did God speak to me at the beginning of our relationship?
Have I been so distracted how God speaks through others that I missed how God speaks to me?
What has hurt me the most, in my relationship with God?
What do i need most from God?
How do i communicate God to others? what aspect do you feel most strongly about?

You can experience any and All of these personalities, You can expand all of these and develop them as you walk with Christ and in relationship with the Holy Spirit.
