I use the capitalized "H" and "S" for God who is Holy and who is Spirit. The lowercase "h" and "s" are for the holy spirit He gave to us when we first believed (born again). The KJV does it this way but sometimes they are not consistent. From John 16:13 we can derive that the holy spirit is a "connection" so to speak. "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all 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." (NIV) It gets its information from God and relays it to us. This "holy spirit" given by God is synonymous with many things Scripturally: truth, power. You might take a look at the word "spirit" in the concordance and see what you come up with. The word spirit is used of devil spirits too but I think you'll see the difference real quick. Essentially we need to know how "our" holy spirit works in us and how we can tap into its power. You can read through out the Bible where the spirit of God worked in His people but that doesn't mean the spirit will work the same way in us. For example, with me it's usually through feeling but at rare times it's a "still small voice" but I'm not going to put this spirit in a box about how it's going to work in me. That's God's job. Not mine. This holy spirit field is one of the most mis-understood aspects of the Scriptures. We have people saying that the manifestations of the spirit listed in I Cor 12:8 - 10 died with the Apostles (original) and yet we have people speaking in tongues today. So first we need the correct doctrine, know from the Bible how it worked in others, and then learn how it works in us. |

The Holy Spirit which The Father and the Son send to indwell us is none other than the third Person of the Trinity. There is no "holy spirit" distinct from Him. God Himself indwells the believer: "When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance." --Acts 2:1-4 "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory." --Ephesians 1:13-14 "So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you." --1 Thessalonians 4:8 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?" --1 Corinthians 6:19 (A "temple" is a "place of worship") "Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" --1 Corinthians 3:16 The "holy spirit field" you talk about seems something like the Force from the Star Wars saga. It bears no resemblance to the God of the universe -- the Holy Spirit -- who indwells the Christian and who is to be obeyed, not "tapped into." The Holy Spirit is not an "it." The Holy Spirit is a "He." --Joe! |
