The Holy Spirit is God and is co-equal to both the God the Father and Jesus Christ. He is a part of the trinity and can be worshiped, yet He is a gentle, quiet and invisible figure who does not draw much attention to himself.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
– John 5 : 7
God has revealed himself in three ways or offices. The Father who is the all powerful, ever loving God who is the architect and creator of everything. He revealed himself to several people throughout the Old Testament, as the “God over us”. Then came Jesus Christ (The Word) at the start of the New Testament. He was God in flesh who came to partake in our sufferings and bear our sins. Jesus, was initially revealed as “God with us” or Immanuel. Then once Jesus completed his work on the cross, we were blessed with the New Testament. The single greatest promise of the New Testament is the possibility of “God in us”.
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you
– Luke 24 : 29
The Holy Spirit is the fulfillment of this promise made by Jesus. The Spirit of God himself joined with our Spirit, Jesus himself living inside us. He is a like a person who has a will, intellect and emotions. He is also a part of the trinity or Godhead.
Real Life Inspiration
A preacher was challenged once, someone said to him. You Christians claim to be monotheistic, you say you worship the one true God and you criticize others saying they are idol worshipers for their many gods.Yet you worship three Gods and call it a trinity. That absolutely makes no sense. How can you explain your trinity?
The preacher replied, take the example of a pregnant woman. In her womb she has her own DNA and that of her husband. She also carries within her a completely new creation, her unborn child has its own DNA. The child has similarities to the parents but is also unique by itself.
God in the finitude of a woman’s womb can put three into one, think about how much more can he do in the infinitude of his mighty creation. The mystery and majesty of God is too great for a person to understand.
Life Application
Acknowledge and understand who the Holy Spirit is, he is co equal with God the Father and Jesus Christ.
The greatest Gift that God gives you is himself, he resides inside you.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
