Personality of the Holy Spiri

Personality of the Holy Spirit

It is critical that we be absolutely sure that the H.S. is a Divine Person and not an IT!  He is God!

Most of us acknowledge this but have you noticed that even mature Christians sometime slip into referring to Him as IT - or as some sort of power sent by God!  i know that I get confused and have referred to Him as the power of God sent to be with man.

This is a grave error and we must be sensitive to avoiding it.  An illustration of the problems associated with the wrong appreciation of His person hood is this: If the H.S. is only the power (an IT) the logical question is how can I get more of IT.  This does not sound bad on the surface but it is a fatal mistake.  Scripture makes it absolutely clear that the real question is "How can He have more of ME?"  The answer to this question will determine the quality and effectiveness of our entire Christian Experience.
A basic explanation for our lack of influence for Christ is that we don't seek to be owned by the Holy Spirit. See what takes place in Acts 8:9-24
