John and Doves,

Derek Prince has a 10 part series on the Holy Spirit.

Each part is invaluable in the teaching of the Third member of the Trinity.

My intention here is to share with those who are new to Christianity and to this board , since most Doves already have an understanding of the Holy Spirit.

In this part, Derek discusses how the Holy Spirit is not an "it", but a "he". He is a Person, just as much as Jesus and God the Father are Persons.

We are meant to form a personal relationship with each member of the Trinity, using their name in conversational prayer.

In John 16, we are taught that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. He will lead us into all truth. We are to speak the truth always.

He discloses the mysteries of prophecy to us as we study future events; "He will tell you of things to come".

He will not give glory to Himself, but will only Glorify Jesus and the Father.

He is the Representative of the Godhead on earth today, in this dispensation of time.

He is 100% God, as is Jesus 100% God, and so

is the Father 100% God. They are equal in oneness.

"Hear O *Israel* ( I insert my own name here)

"the LORD our God is one LORD."

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."

Deuteronomy 6:4,5

Whenever the word "LORD" is capitalized, as it is in the Old Testament,

it pertains to all three members of the Godhead.

In Hebrew, the 3-in-1 is called "Elohim", a plural word.

We must not grieve the Holy Spirit by our words and actions. 

When we are led of the Spirit, we practice righteousness.

We do that which we know to be right, because we have a conscience that is enlightened by the "still small voice" within us: the Holy Spirit.1 Kings 19:12.

The Holy Spirit convicts

us when we are tempted.

"The flesh wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh."

Galatians 5:17

It is the Holy Spirit that imparts to us the miracle of  being Born Again

...being quickened in our spirit to believe the Bible, especially the Gospel of Jesus  Christ.

When we are Born Anew,

we live out the Gospel each day. We believe in the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:14.

And it is by the Holy Spirit--the Spirit of Life--that we are Resurrected/Raptured at His coming to receive us as His Bride

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

The Holy Spirit anoints us to become the sons and daughters of God.

Romans 8:14

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons (and daughters) of God."

As we rise to meet our Bridegroom in the Rapture, the Holy Spirit will be with us.

"The Spirit and the Bride say, " Come" !!

Revelation 22:17
