Three truths about the Holy Spirit you must know. These are foundational truths concerning
the Holy Spirit. Now first one is He is the Spirit. Now what does it mean, the Spirit?
Well it tells us that His divine nature is God because God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him
must worship Him in the spirit. Now we will have another video concerning the trinity and how we
believe there is one God in three Persons, but the Spirit indicates that the Holy Spirit is God. It
also tells us that the Holy Spirit, as a Spirit, He is the breath of the almighty God, according
to Job 32:8. The breath of God, the Spirit is like the breath of God. It's connected to natural life.
That God breathed His Spirit, God breathed His breath into Adam, and Adam became a living soul,
in Genesis 2:7 and Job chapter 33:4. So that means that you got your spirit, the real you,
from the breath of God. Now, God the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, you know the breath of God
is not only connected to our natural life. We're alive because of this breath of God,
the Holy Spirit. But we're also spiritually alive because of the breath of God. In John 3:6-8,
as well as chapter 20 verse 22, it talks about that Jesus breathed into His disciples. See the
Holy Spirit is the breath of God, He's the Spirit, and it says that whoever is not born
of the Spirit. So the first time we came alive was because the Spirit, the breath of God was breathed
into a corpse and it came alive. And once the spirit and the soul leaves, we're no longer alive.
But spiritually we're alive because of the breath of God, the Holy Spirit. So that's
why He is the Spirit. Not only the breath of God gives natural life, gives spiritual life,
but the breath of God is also connected to the inspiration of the Scripture,
according to 2 timothy 3:16. What does that mean? That means the Scripture is God breathed,
God breathed. His Spirit, pretty much is in the Scripture. That's why the Scripture is called
the sword of the Spirit. That's why we know that the Scripture was written by the men led,
moved by the Spirit. So when we talk about the Holy Spirit, there is the Spirit that reveals
His divine nature because God is a Spirit. As a breath, He brings life to the natural
life. He brings breath, life to the spiritual life and He also brings inspiration to the Scripture.
The second truth I want to share with you about the Holy Spirit and that is, that He is holy.
The use of holy in connection with the Holy Spirit is found 100 times in the Bible. Now,
the Holy Spirit. Why is it, the Holy Spirit? Because there's other spirits,
and they're not holy, and the Holy Spirit is distinct from familiar spirits, evil spirits,
lying spirits, unclean spirits, foul spirits, spirits of divination, seducing spirits
and spirits of the devils. See, holy means the Holy Spirit represents a holy God.
The Holy Spirit inspired the holy man to write a holy book, according to 2 Peter 1:2.
The Holy Spirit in this world is to deal with the sin issue. He convicts because He's holy
and according to 2 Thessalonians 2:13, He makes us holy. So not only is the Holy Spirit a breath
of God, He is the wind, He is the Spirit, but there's also holiness about it. That's
why people who claim to know the Holy Spirit and don't walk in holiness or don't desire holiness,
are way off. They're walking with the spirit. It's just not the Holy Spirit because one of the
signs of the Holy Spirit's presence, leading, and filling in your life, is going to be there's going
to be life there because His breath brings life. See when breath of God came into a body, corpse,
it became a living soul. When God's breath, God's life comes into your spiritually dead person, you
become spiritually alive. God's breath is in God's Scriptures. There's life in the Scriptures. Jesus
says My words are Spirit and life because there's breath of God. See when you know the Holy Spirit,
there's life, there's a movement. There's a river that's inside of you. But the other component,
the second truth about the Holy spirit that is also going to be the reality of your life,
is holiness. I'm not talking about legalism. I'm not talking about trying to earn salvation. I'm
talking about a healthy desire to live so pleasing to God, that you're willing to look different,
made fun of, ridiculed, and willing to put your flesh through spiritual crucifixion. Why? Because
you're walking with the Holy Spirit and He is Holy. God is holy, the Holy Spirit is holy
and He will deal with the gray areas, sin and other things in your life. The third truth
about the Holy Spirit is, and I kind of alluded to that in the beginning, is the Holy Spirit is God.
The Holy Spirit is not just the third you know in Godhead, and when we say third in Godhead, you
know the third person of trinity. It doesn't mean He's not God. He's not less than, just because we
refer to him as the third Person of the Trinity. He is God. the Holy Spirit is the first Person
of the Godhead to be named and identified in the Bible. Think about that. In Genesis 1:2, who did
you meet first in the Bible? The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is called God. Peter referred to Him
as God in the Book of Acts 5:3-4. Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as God, in Matthew 12:28
and Luke 11:20. He is also called the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of the living
God and the Spirit of the father. The Holy Spirit is described as having divine attributes of God.
Omnipresence, meaning He's present everywhere. Psalm 139:7-12. He is omniscient, meaning He
knows everything in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. He's omnipotent, He's all-powerful in Psalm 104:30,
and He's eternal, Hebrews 9:1. So He has these divine attributes that are only attributed to God,
and the Holy Spirit has all of them. So the Holy Spirit is the Spirit, He's the breath of God.
He is holy and He is God. The Holy Spirit is also described as having moral attributes of
God. He is the Spirit of love, He is the Spirit of holiness and He is the Spirit of truth. These are
also moral attributes of God. The Holy Spirit is also seen as doing the works of God. He's involved
in creation. He imparts life and resurrection. We know He inspires prophecy and Scriptures, and
the Holy Spirit gives new birth, and therefore we see that the Holy Spirit is God. And today we have
this Holy Spirit, He lives in us. We see in the Old Testament, the moving of God the Father,
the revelation of God the Father. We see in the New testament the revelation of God the Son.
But we live in the age of the Holy Spirit, who took residence within every believer,
and you're as close to God as you can get, in terms of your position because the Holy
Spirit lives inside of you. And now you have to cultivate that relationship,
and we have other videos that we talk about how to cultivate relationship with the Holy Spirit.
But you have to first lay the foundation for your relationship with the Holy Spirit,
and the foundation is He is the Spirit, He is holy and He is God. Do you know the Holy Spirit?
Have you encountered the Holy Spirit? Have you received the Holy Spirit when you believed?
