The person of the Holy Spirit

St. John 16:13, But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. Notice from this verse that Jesus said the Holy Spirit is a He, not an it or some mysterious and illusive power. The Bible not only refers to the Holy Spirit as a "He," but it also ascribes to Him all the distinctives of personality. Specifically, the Holy Spirit is described as having (1) knowledge, (2) will, and (3) emotion. The Apostle Paul certainly believed the Holy Spirit was knowledgeable. He wrote in 1Cor. 11-12, For who among you men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God. The Holy Spirit knows the thoughts of God. And the Holy Spirit imparts knowledge to believers. The Holy Spirit, then, is not simply an impersonal force. The Holy has a will as well. In his discussion of spiritual gifts, Paul referred to the Holy Spirit's responsibility of distributing gifts at will: 1Cor. 12:11, But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. I know a lot of us seems to think the Holy Spirit was sent so that we may harnessed His power for our own will, not so. We only learn what we been taught, good intentions, but bad theology. A third aspect of personality ascribed to the Holy Spirit is emotion. The Holy Spirit has feelings. Paul instructed the believers in Ephesus not to "grieve" the Holy Spirit, (Eph.4:30) Do you know every time that you do something to your body or speak words that are ungodly, you grieve the Holy Spirit. Paul to His letter to the Romans referred to the Love of the Spirit (Rom. 15:30). Love and grief are terms associated with emotions. This body doesn't belong to you anymore, if you're a Child of God, Jesus is always in your presence, in the person of the Holy Spirit. He has to become a part of your everyday living, because He convicts (John 16:8-11) He illuminates (John 16:12-15) He teaches (John 16:12-15) He guides (Rom.8:14) He assures (Rom.8:26) He intercedes (Rom. 8:25) He directs (Acts 20:22) and He warns (Acts 20:23). Only when we allow Him to, our will has to become His will. The Holy Spirit makes decisions for our good, but the power of the Holy Spirit is available only to those whose intention is to carry out the will of the Father.  Amen
