HOLYSPIRIT

SPIRIT OF GOD

The Holy Spirit in Greek is «Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον» (Pneuma Hagion). Pneuma means "spirit," "breath," or "wind," while Hagion means "holy". It frequently appears in the New Testament as to Pneuma to Hagion ("the Spirit the Holy") to denote the third person of the Trinity.

Key details regarding the Greek term:

Transliteration: Pneuma Hagion

Pronunciation: PNYOO-mah HAH-gee-on

Components: Pneuma (πνεῦμα - spirit/breath) + Hagios (ἅγιος - holy)

Alternative Name: The Holy Spirit is also referred to as the Paraclete (ὁ Παράκλητος, ho Paraklētos), meaning "helper" or "comforter," in John 14:26

Usage: The term appears 89 times in the New Testament.

The study of the Holy Spirit is known as pneumatology, derived from pneuma (spirit) and logos (word/study).

Note:-

- Presence of God: The Spirit is not an impersonal force but a divine Person who dwells within believers.

- Guide and Teacher: He illuminates Scripture, convicts of sin, and leads into truth.

- Empowerer: In Acts, the Spirit empowers the apostles to preach boldly and perform miracles.

- Comforter: Jesus calls Him the Paraclete (John 14:26)—the One who comes alongside to strengthen and console.

Biblical Foundations

- Old Testament: The Spirit is seen as the breath of God (Genesis 1:2), empowering prophets and kings.

- New Testament: At Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit descends like a dove, affirming His mission. At Pentecost, the Spirit fills the disciples, birthing the Church.

- Paul’s Letters: The Spirit is the seal of salvation (Ephesians 1:13) and the giver of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12).

- Relational: The Spirit binds believers into communion with the Father and Son.

- Transformational: Through sanctification, the Spirit reshapes believers into Christ’s likeness.

- Missional: The Spirit equips the Church to witness, extending God’s kingdom on earth.

Here’s how believers can live out awareness of the Spirit:

- Daily Surrender: Invite the Spirit to guide decisions and attitudes.

- Scripture Meditation: Ask the Spirit to illuminate meaning and application.

- Prayer: Pray “in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18), allowing Him to intercede when words fail.

- Community: Recognize the Spirit’s gifts in others, fostering unity and service.

The Holy Spirit is the living presence of God within us, making the Trinity not just a doctrine to be studied but a reality to be experienced.

Holy spirit in trinity

The Trinity Defined

- One God, Three Persons: Christianity teaches that God exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—distinct persons, yet one essence.

- Co-equal and Co-eternal: None is greater or lesser; all share the same divine nature.

- Biblical Roots: While the word Trinity isn’t in Scripture, passages like Matthew 28:19 (“baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”) and 2 Corinthians 13:14 show the three persons working together.

The Role of the Holy Spirit

- Presence of God: The Spirit is not an impersonal force but a divine person who indwells believers.

- Revealer of Truth: He illuminates Scripture, guiding believers into understanding (John 16:13).

- Empowerer: The Spirit equips Christians with gifts for service and strengthens them in weakness.

- Sanctifier: He transforms believers into Christ’s likeness, producing fruit such as love, joy, and peace (Galatians 5:22–23).

The mystery of the Spirit in the Trinity invites humility. He is both the breath of God that animates creation and the intimate companion who dwells within believers. To neglect Him is to miss the living presence of God in daily life; to embrace Him is to walk in divine power and renewal.

RECEVING HOLYSPIRIT

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

1 Corinthians 2:6-13

Wisdom from the Spirit

6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,

“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,

nor the heart of man imagined,

what God has prepared for those who love him”—

10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, “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.

1.Repetance in heart

This can only happen when someone open heart for Jesus immediately HolySpirit god convicts for repentance

2.Forgiveness of sins

See no one can forgive their own sins by themselves but see important thing

Note:- Cleansing with Blood of Jesus christ

Acts 2:38

And Peter said to them, “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.

Explanation:- (GRIEF) and (GUILT)

Note:- This is my personal encounter from God , I have a question how Jesus Christ blood will wash my sins in this time ?

Then Holyspirit talked to me , Daniel inside that grief and guilt these two i will be removed from

Jesus Christ Blood (Annointing)

Grief and Guilt - Bondage , Devil's Pit , Pain in soul

Holyspirit Baptism

FILLING IN HOLYSPIRIT

Note:- When someone had Baptism of Holyspirit

He will fill and bear

Inside fruits - Gifts outside

Note:- But Gifts is not for the personal use but for the Jesus Mission

Matthew 3:11,12

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is

coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to

carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out

His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will

burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Please note that the Greek word for “with” is “en,” a primary

preposition that can be translated “in,” “by,” “with,” “of,” “for,”

etc. So, we use the terms “baptism with the Holy Spirit” and

“baptism in the Holy Spirit” interchangeably.

John the Baptist announced that the Lord Jesus would

baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. The “fire,” as John

describes, is to “burn up the chaff.” The chaff is used to represent

what is ungodly (Psalm 1:4; Psalm 35:5), and what is of the

flesh (Jeremiah 23:28). In the life of the believer, the fire burns

up the chaff, burns up what is not of God and what is ungodly.

What John the Baptist points to also refers to the final, eternal

judgment of the ungodly (Revelation 20:10,15). So, “fire” has a

dual reference, both of the cleansing work done in the life of the

believer and of the eternal judgment of the ungodly.

Indwelling and baptism—What’s the difference?

When one believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, one is born again.

We are born of the Spirit. As Galatians 4:6 states, “And because

you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your

hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” We are already a temple of

the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God indwells (dwells within)

us. So then, why does a believer need to be prayed for to receive

the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Some present their argument like

this—“The Holy Spirit does not come in parts because He is a

Person. So, if you have Him, you have all of Him.”

While there are similarities between the spiritual and

natural, there are also differences. Spiritual things are often

different from the way how we see things in the natural. It is

true that in the natural, when you see a person physically, you

see the person entirely. It is not that the person has left a part

of himself physically at some other place. However, there is a

huge difference when we consider the Person of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is a Person, but unlike us, He is infinite. He can

come and keep on coming because He is infinite. We can have

“more” of Him because He is infinite and there is no end to how

much we can experience Him in our lives.

John 7:37-39(Rivers of Living Water)

37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Note:- Scripture and Spirit of God will cleanses from all sinful and worldly things

(Inside and out)

God's dwelling place in new covenant

1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own

Note:- Body came from mud but Spirit came from God, So god wants to uses our Spirit, So Spirit is very powerful

Fruits (Inner life)

Galatians 5:13-26

Life by the Spirit

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 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. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

HOLYSPIRIT GIFTS (Outward life)

Note:- Holyspirit gifts are given mainly by their Spiritual character and calling for his kingdom work

Ephesians 4:11-12

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

Note:- 1Corinthians 12:11
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

1 Corinthians 12 Deep explanations

1.TONGUES

Tongues are two types

1.Normal tongues

In Acts chapter 2 in upperoom Disciples spoken in Normal language

2.Heavenly language tongues

If we take Jesus Christ as example he never spoken publicly tongues , But we can guess in his personal prayers maybe he spoken heavenly language tongues

Note:-

2.PROPHECIES

Note:- From old testament to new testament , God has spoken to prophets mostly about

1.God's correction (Spiritual life)

2.About his Kingdom work

Note:- God never spoken to his prophets on earthly things , Now days there are so many people on th name of Prophets they are cheating GOD AND GOD"S PEOPLE

Jeremiah 23:21: The Lord states, "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied".

Jeremiah 27:15: The Lord reiterates, "For I have not sent them... yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out".

Note:- Matthew 7:15-23

True and False Prophets

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

True and False Disciples

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Note:- I have seen some true prophets they buillded families spiritual and doing corrections about sinful things in their life.

Note:-John 4:17-19

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.

17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”

3.HEALINGS

God heals his people

1.Spiritual healing

2.Physical healing

By Salvation , Kingdom work God will surely will heal his people

Note:- oil in the old testament and new testament oil was used for medicine

Symbol of the Holy Spirit

- Oil often represents the Holy Spirit’s presence:

- 1 Samuel 16:13: When Samuel anointed David, “the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.”

- Healing here is empowerment—restoring identity, strength, and readiness for God’s mission.

- Oil becomes a tangible symbol of God’s invisible Spirit working within.

There is no power in oil but power in Jesus name

Note:- Now days most of the people are focused on physical healing but the truth is spiritual healing can bring to physical healing that's what God is expecting

Holyspirit Ministry (God's covenant to fulfill Great commision)

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 2:2-21

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”

Peter Addresses the Crowd

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 “‘In the last days, God says,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.

18 Even on my servants, both men and women,

I will pour out my Spirit in those days,

and they will prophesy.

19 I will show wonders in the heavens above

and signs on the earth below,

blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20 The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood

before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

21 And everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be saved.
