Not just for enthusiastic Pentecostal churches, the Holy Spirit is fully God, along with the Father and Jesus. He is our comforter, helper, counselor, advocate, and teacher, although none of these terms can express the broader definition of the Holy Spirit, His works, importance and intimacy with the believer. He is alive, active and is the only Person of the Trinity closest to us, who lives in the hearts of believers. “Christians need to know and understand the work of the Holy Spirit, the Divine Counselor of God.” (p. 154 Collins) The Holy Spirit is discussed less than the Father or Jesus in the Bible, never calls attention to Himself, leads believers in worship and prayer, and may seem vague and difficult to understand in one culture focused on what we see and touch. The result has been confusion, misunderstanding, and even a circumvention of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is clear that the Holy Spirit is not an apparition but is both a Person and God, with all of God's divine attributes; eternal, omnipotent, present everywhere and holy. God and the Holy Spirit are used interchangeably in Scripture (2 Corinthians 3:17-18; 6:19-20, Acts 5:3-4), was active in creation, conceived the Son of God in the womb of a virgin , inspired the Bible writers (1 Peter 1:21) and brings us the new birth. The Bible connects the Spirit with the Father and the Son in equality, leading to the unequivocal conclusion that the Holy Spirit is God and a person with traits of self-awareness, intelligence, and will. We primarily talk about the Holy Spirit regarding His work and mission, who lives within us to guide, comfort, and teach us. Jesus said that the Spirit would come to believers and come to “convince the world” (John 16:8). The Father uses the Holy Spirit to draw people to faith in faith.
