That is the same Spirit in believer! But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.--Romans 8:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praise the Lord. cjrose, Great write! Just a thought from me to add the Greek parts of speech for the Holy Spirit in regard to the prepositional differences. Holy Spirit is (WITH US) to call us to God, guide and comfort us etc. John 14. Holy Spirit is (UPON US) to empower or give us the authority to preach, minister, speak in tongues etc. At Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really meditate on it, the Spirit is what controls us as we submit to God's will. Being obedient brings the reward in many ways and one way is a stronger more aware sense of the Spirit and how enormous He is as He lives within us and as we allow Him to work through us. God is so Awesome that He can be everywhere all the time with everyone and know us before we were born and the most intimate and heartfelt is that we have been chosen to come to believe. How inspiring is that? How supernatural and all empowering is that thought when you truly stop everything you are doing in your busy daily lives to meditate on being chosen and the divinity of how far and wide God's love is. Praise the Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethical.atheist Posted December 2, 2006 Group: Nonbeliever Followers: 1 Topic Count: 4 Topics Per Day: 0.00 Content Count: 167 Content Per Day: 0.03 Reputation: 2 Days Won: 0 Joined: 11/20/2006 Status: Offline Share Posted December 2, 2006 I'm curious about this idea of the Holy Spirit. I was under the impression that there was only one god in Christianity. How does this holy spirit do deeds separate from this God or this God do anything separate from the holy spirit? If the holy spirit is really only part of God, couldn't you say that anything God ever did was something that the holy spirit also did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
