But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26)
CREATION
And 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. (Genesis 1:2)
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. (Psalms 104:30)
SCRIPTURES
The Holy Spirit ministered by:
REVELATION:
He spoke to human writers the message of God:
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Peter 1:21)
INSPIRATION:
He guided these writers so the message would be accurate:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (II Timothy 3:16-17)
ILLUMINATION:
He enlightens human hearts to understand the message of the Gospel:
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26)
SATAN
The Holy Spirit even has a ministry concerning Satan. The Holy Spirit is the restraining spiritual power that limits the power of Satan:
…When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against
JESUS
The ministry of the Holy Spirit was evident in the life of Jesus. Jesus was:
CONCEIVED BY THE SPIRIT:
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise, when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost…
Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:18,20)
ANOINTED BY THE SPIRIT:
And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him… (Matthew 3:16)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised… (Luke 4:18)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. (Hebre
