If we are worshipping the Holy Spirit we are worshipping God.The trinity is God the Father,God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.So yes,we should worship the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is God.

I believe the Spirit allows us to worship.

The first question you have to ask yourself about the Holy Spirit -- who is He?  He is a divine person!  He is not only the Being that imparts truth, but illuminates our mind to understanding who He is.   He wants to reveal Himself, and the entirety of who God is to us.

 

He was instrumental in the creation of the world,

 

Genesis 1:2  The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

 

The Spirit of God reveals who He is, who the Son is, and who the Father is! 

 

John 15:26  "But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.

 

1 Corinthians 2:10-13  these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 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.  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.  And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. 

 

We read how the Spirit of God is not some kind of "power we can wield", but rather a Divine Person who uses us according to His will and imparts gifts for us to use to accomplish God's purposes!

 

1 Corinthians 12:8-11 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,  to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.  All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. 

 

We read how the Spirit of God searches the mind of God and makes intercession for us!

 

Romans 8:26-27  Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.   And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 

 

The Spirit of God loves us just as a divine being.

 

Romans 15:30  I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 

 

Just as anyone can, the Holy Spirit can be hurt and grieved by our actions.  

 

Ephesians 4:30  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 

 

It's the Spirit of God that shows us that we're adopted into the Kingdom!

 

Galatians 4:6  And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" 

 

Romans 8:14-16  For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.  For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"  The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 

 

He is our Teacher!

 

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.

 

The Spirit of God directs His ministers as to how to lead the body of Messiah!

 

Acts 13:2  While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 

Acts 16:6-7  And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

 

So often believers will praise God and thank the Father for sending us His Son.  And we thank Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins.  But I suggest we also ought to worship the Spirit of God for patiently drawing us to Himself, being our guide, our teacher, our friend who makes intercession for us.  For the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person whom we ought to worship, for the Father is looking for "true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

 

Your brother in the Lord with much agape love,

Amen~!

 

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13

 

Thank You Holy Ghost

 

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16

 

I Love You

The Holy Spirit is God so when you worship God, you are worshipping Him.  He's part of the Holy Trinity.

Yes its 100% biblical,zechariah 4:6 is not by might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord. God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit,great and wonderful Trinity

I'll advise to worship God through spirit media and not the other way round .
