The Holy Spirit in the Bible is also known by other names: Comforter, Advocate, Spirit of Truth, Spirit,
and Helper.
John 16:13-15; But when He,
the Spirit of truth, comes,
He will guide you into all the truth.
He will not speak on His own;
He will speak only what He hears,
and He will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify Me because it is from Me that He will receive what He will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is Mine.
That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what He will make known to you.”
This is a very important because it explains our inter-relationship with the "Spirit of truth" (Holy Spirit), Jesus and God.
​
The "Spirit of truth" (Holy Spirit which is from God) does not speak on his own. He only speaks to us that which he receives from Jesus who God speaks through.
​
When Jesus says "All that belongs to the Father is mine", He is saying (in terms that His disciples will understand) that the Father (God), and He are one (the same). See THE TRINITY
GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
7 But the manifestation (making and becoming real) of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
8 to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit,
to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit,
to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10 to another the working of miracles,
to another discerning of spirits, (tell the difference between spirits)
to another different kinds of tongues, (different languages)
to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
That is what the Holy Spirit is.
It is God, through Jesus, on the inside of us - when we have accepted Jesus as our Lord -and asked the Holy Spirit to be in us and with us to help, guide, and heal us.
He does not speak on His own, only what He hears from God through Jesus.
We always have a choice.
Welcome to the Holy Spirit; which is the Spirit of God inside us in this time of Grace (holy lives and divine favor, regeneration , which people in the Old Testament did not have. See GRACE, LAW DIFFERENCES
​
What is Love of God? God's love is the ultimate and infinite love that we can all have if we want it and ask Jesus for it.
It makes me weep every time I intentionally connect to Him (though He is always there). I have spent my life - though loved - feeling unloved, but when I let the love of God flow through me, the infinite warmth of His all-knowing compassion fills my body and my human spirit. I am so very humbled and grateful to Him for being willing to indwell me.
It is a very simple process, we just need to baptized in the Holy Spirit and then we will have God (through Jesus) inside of us willing to help and guide us, but He will remain dormant until we ask Him for his help and believe, as he is a God of choice = we get to choose to let Him help us.
​
When I let Him help me by my asking Him, life opens up and goes right and puzzle pieces fall noiselessly into place. People love me with Him flowing through me. Even I love me.

GotQustions.org says:
"To love God is to worship and praise Him. "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only'" (Luke 4:8). The book of Psalms provides many beautiful examples of how to worship and praise our Creator (e.g., Psalms 8, 19, 23, 24, 67, 99, 117, and 150).
To love God is to put Him first. The number-one commandment is to love God “with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30). It’s an undivided love. God is our priority. If we love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength, then we won’t allow other things to crowd in. Our love for God is manifested by loving people (Mark 12:31), but we do not love the things of the world. “Earth has nothing I desire besides you” (Psalm 73:25). We cannot love this present world and God at the same time (1 John 2:15); love for what the world offers can lead us astray (2 Timothy 4:10).
To love God is to desire Him, to yearn for His righteousness, His Word, and His grace. “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God” (Psalm 42:1). Once we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), we want more of Him. If we love God, we will be like Mary of Bethany, “who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said” (Luke 10:39). If we love God, the psalmist’s description of the Word of God will resonate within us: “[it is] more precious than gold, than much pure gold; . . . sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb” (Psalm 19:10)."
​
Acts 2:38; Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
​
Revelation 3:20; Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
​
Deuteronomy 30:19: This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.
​
The Holy Spirit (also known as the Spirit of Truth) NEVER overwhelms us and only obeys God, and ALWAYS allows us our choice. Jesus paid for our sins on the cross, present - past - future. Our sins have been forgiven and God now has a new relationship with man in His New Covenant with man through Jesus who sits beside God and is also inside us. See below John 16:13-15
​
The Holy Spirit works with our 'born again' human spirit. The human spirit was the one given to us while we were in our mother's womb. When we are born again our old spirit gets renewed and sealed so evil can no longer taint it. (See WHO ARE WE?)
​
The Holy Spirit does not work with the body/brain/flesh. (See below and also MIND, BRAIN, BODY).
Galatians 5:17; For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
The Holy Spirit is in conflict with the flesh (brain and body) and is working only with our human spirit.
Romans 8:16; The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
This verse is an good example of the “Spirit” (Holy Spirit - capitalized) testifying with “our spirit” (human spirit - lower case), “that we are children of God”. It also shows that the Holy Spirit is not working with the body/brain.
John 14:26; But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
​
John15 26; “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.
John 16:7; But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
Here are 3 different verses regarding "the Advocate" (Holy Spirit).
This is Jesus talking to His apostles just before his death "go away".
That the Holy Spirit ("Advocate") will teach all things and remind us of everything Jesus taught His Apostles.
​
That Jesus needs to "go away" so that He can send the Holy Spirit ("Advocate")" to us.
​
(NOTE: The "Advocate" is capitalized which indicates that Jesus is talking about God's Holy Spirit).
​
Here is a link to Andrew Wommack who explains the powers the Holy Spirit gives us and why some people do not accept those powers.
​
Most people need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit in order to receive it.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD'S GIFT TO YOU
Ephesians 2:6-10; And you, He made alive, who were dead in trespasses (working with Satan) and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience (Giants/fallen angels with Satan), 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath (hatred, resentment, revenge), just as the others.​​​​​
​Ephesians 2:4-5; But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses (sins), made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
WHY GIVING WORKS TO BRING PROSPERITY TO YOU, BECAUSE GOD GIVES TO PEOPLE, THROUGH PEOPLE AND THEN GIVES BACK TO YOU.
Proverbs 11:25 in the Bible states, "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed".
I had a wonderful experience the other day. My Grandson Luke 6 years old did not want me to return a new bathroom carpet back to the store (it didn't fit) because he wanted it instead.
​
I told him (because I wanted to teach him the value of 'exchange'), if he gave me $13.00 (which is what I paid for it) that I would give the bathroom carpet to him.
​
Luke then went to his older brother River who was 12 and asked for $13.00.
River was very wise and said that Luke would need to do something to get the $13.00. Together they chose that Luke would clean the living room. (which is actually very large).
​
By himself, Luke cleaned the living room really well (under River's supervision), and then River gave him the $13.00.
Luke then proudly gave it to me and I was only too glad to give Luke the bathroom carpet.
Then I gave the $13.00 to the church on Sunday.
Ezekiel 36:27; And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
God will put His "Spirit" (Holy Spirit) within us (if we ask for it) during this, the time of Grace. The time of Grace began when Jesus took all our sins and sicknesses upon himself on the cross; and atoning (making amends) to God for man's sins. After Jesus atoned for man, man was able to have a different relationship with God. Before this, (the time of Grace), there were the Laws of Moses. The Laws of Moses crippled people and reminded them how sinful they were.
1 Corinthians 2:12; What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.
"What we have received" is "from God" and "not the spirit of the world" (lower case = 'human wisdom'). Who will teach us "with Spirit-taught words" "spiritual realities" (in a way we can understand and which will be real to us). This is God's Holy Spirit working (through Jesus - in us) with our reborn human spirit explaining "spiritual realities". Aren't we fortunate, those of us who have the Holy Spirit and who believe! (See 'FAITH AND BELIEF').
It is a fact that the existing human spirit in the body, put there by God needs to be renewed, because it has gotten messed up by life in general and various evils. See HUMAN SPIRIT
​
We can get a renewed spirit which this time is sealed by God This is called 'born again'
​
Then, if we are wise we will the huge benefit of having God's Holy Spirit inside us to guide and help us, who will communicate to our human spirit. Our human spirit will then communicate to our soul (mind will and emotion) who then controls life and the body generally.
​
It is my opinion that God, after seeing all that Jesus suffered while here on Earth in human form, realized the genetic sinful problems inherent in other souls, bodies/brains, that they were potentially overwhelming. That we needed more help especially with the current evil of man in general, plus ongoing demonic influences. So, He gave us another part of Himself - in addition to the human spirit - in the form of the Holy Spirit (through Jesus) who will indwell us - to guide us if we choose. We do need to ask Jesus for it and we will need to be born again (renewed), so that our human spirit is able to work with the Holy Spirit who is pure love.

What is here on this page is great and if you apply these Bible verses, there is no reason that your life should not change for the better.
But there is so much more in the new book God, us, and Satan. I really recommend you purchase it. There are many links to Bible verses and my notes accompany most of them. And many pictures.
Seeing that many churches, institutions, and people were giving an incorrect version of the Bible, I set out to correct it, not only for myself but for others. I wanted God known as He is and as I found Him. I wanted people to have the truth, so I spent 8 years studying and unraveling God's messages to us from the original languages.
Many commentaries and pictures.
