Who is the Holy Ghost Part 2

Luke 1:35

New King James Version (NKJV)

³⁵ And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

The Holy Ghost is not an "it". The Holy Ghost is a person and is the 3rd person in the God head. He is a person and He is God.

1. He's omnipotent.

Psalm 139:7-9

New King James Version (NKJV)

 ⁷ Where can I go from Your Spirit?
         Or where can I flee from Your presence?
 ⁸ If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
         If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
 ⁹ If I take the wings of the morning,
         And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

There is no greater power. He is the power source of the God head.

Genesis 1:1-2

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
 ²And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

The Holy Spirit hovered over the waters after God spoke it.

2. He's omnipresent.



He is everywhere at the same time in the totality of his being. You can't run from the Holy Ghost. Jonah tried to run from God:

Jonah 1

New King James Version (NKJV)

Jonah’s Disobedience

 ¹ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, ² “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” ³ But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

The Storm at Sea

 
⁴ But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.
⁵ Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
⁶ So the captain came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.”
⁷ And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. ⁸ Then they said to him, “Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?”
⁹ So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”

Jonah Thrown into the Sea

 
¹⁰ Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “Why have you done this?” For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. ¹¹ Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?”—for the sea was growing more tempestuous.
¹² And he said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.”
¹³ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them. ¹⁴ Therefore they cried out to the LORD and said, “We pray, O LORD, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You.” ¹⁵ So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. ¹⁶ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD and took vows.

Jonah’s Prayer and Deliverance

 
¹⁷ Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

If God needs to give you a dream, talk through someone, a child, etc He will do it to speak to you. The devil is not omnipresent . He sends his demons.

3. He is omniscient.

He is all knowing.

1 Corinthians 2:10-11

New King James Version (NKJV)

  ¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. ¹¹ For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

He knows how you were going to get here and when, who you will marry, how many kids. If you want answers ask God. Get to know Him. Just like in a relationship when you want to get to know him or her you spend time with him or her.When you are praying you are praying to the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the spirit of Christ and is inside of you.

John 10:27

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

You can't date or marry the wrong person when you have the Holy Ghost. When you have the Holy Ghost you can't act any way and come to church like you've never sin. You can't say what you want to say.

4. He is God Himself.

Acts 5:3-4

New King James Version (NKJV)

³ But 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? ⁴ 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.”

When people lie to you they are lying to the Holy Ghost. Don't hold back God's money (i.e tithes). Because He is God you are the head and not the tail, the lender and not the borrower (Deut 28:44).

5.The Holy Spirit talks to us.

Revelation 2:7

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁷ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’

God always talks but you are not listening. He talks to you about your next step. You have an ear yourself to hear.

6. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us.

Romans 8:26

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

The Holy Ghost helps our infirmities, helps us to get out of problems. He can speak through groans. If you don't know what to say speak in tongues, if you can't speak in tongues just moan and groan. He is praying for us right now.

Luke 4:1

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 4

Satan Tempts Jesus

 ¹ Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

If you are feeling forced or pushed it is probably the devil. The Holy Ghost leads and guides. Pay attention to your life and signs. If God tells you to do the strangest thing just do it. You may be in a jam because you were disobedient. You can't blame anyone but yourself. God will let you have something something that you wanted so bad just to let you know you didn't need it. What you don't give up for God you will lose it anyway.

7.The Holy Ghost appoints you.

Acts 20:28

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁸ Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

An overseer is a bishop. Who called you? Are you sure you are to be an evangelist, prophetess, teacher, pastor, etc? Man disappoints. If God called you there is nothing anyone can do. If man calls you then he can hang you up. If you do something man doesn't like he can take it all away. Don't let man discourage you from your calling. Use your talents to glorify God. You couldn't have done _________ with out God.

John 14:19 tells us He will be with us and is in us. He draws us and softens our heart.

Remember:

Ephesians 4:30

New King James Version (NKJV)

³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
