When He, God the Holy Spirit comes, you will be endued with power.
One of the most revelatory insights into the Trinity and its oneness is Jesus’ introduction of God the Holy Spirit to His disciples. He leaves no doubt concerning who He is, His relationship to them, and what He will do when He comes.
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.”
John 15:26-27 NIV
Jesus begins by verifying who the Holy Spirit is coming from and the full agreement of the Father and the Son’s endorsement of Him as the Spirit of truth. This is a wonderful picture of the Godheadand their love for one another. This love, this oneness, is unmistakable and unfathomable. Jesus said, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.” There is no greater promise given to us than the promise of the Holy Spirit. Flowing to us from the Father and the Son.
He is not an it nor is He a denomination. This is man’s attempt to indoctrinate and try to explain God to our intellect, our unrenewed mind.
Not to receive the Holy Spirit as God is very serious. We see in the early believers a stark example of how important it is to see Him as God.
The following passage proves the Holy Spirit is God.
Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.”
Acts 5:3–4
Peter is clear and it cannot be denied. Satan, the father of lies, has filled the heart of Ananias to lie, not just a lie, but a direct lie to God Holy Spirit. He is not an it. He is God the Holy Spirit, sent from the Father and the Son, as promised by Them as one.
Receive ye God, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth.
