What is the Holy Ghost? "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."—John 14:16-17 The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, it is God, it is His powerful action that permeates creation with Love and Life. It is existence itself. We know Him also as the third person of the Holy Trinity. As we look at the attributes of God, who is One,  we may say that God the Father is the Absolute Power and Will, God the Son is His Word and command, God the Holy Spirit is the action of God which is Love. The Holy Spirit is a fire of Divine Love that comes to touch us and refine us in an ardent desire to possess God. It gives us a passion for God, it destroys all the earthly affections because it opens our spiritual eyes to see how precious God is. Matthew 12:32: "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." What does the Holy Spirit allow you to do? Speak in tongues and interpret To have and know the word of wisdom Have faith Heal Perform miracles Prophecy Be able to discern spirits, (Be able to tell Christians from non-Christians) Being filled with the Holy Spirit is different than the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. All Christians have It in them, and even most non-Christians, I believe, can feel It tugging at them. Not everyone, however, is filled with the Spirit. Having the Holy Spirit dwell in you is like having a dark chamber that is lit, but the corners are still dark. It leaves still some doubt. Being filled with the Holy Spirit you are completely lit and knowledgeable. There is no doubt what so ever because you definitely feel the presence within you and are able to do miracles in the name of Jesus. Can we all have these gifts? Yes, God instructs us in 1 Corinthians 12:31 Covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet I shew unto you a more excellent way. These gifts come by prayer, and God may not immediately give them to you, but keep praying. God promised them to you and if you seek you shall have them.

Here is a beautiful prayer asking for the Holy Spirit. "Most High Father Yahueh, I believe You sent Your Son to this earth so that Your Promise might be extended to all who believe in You, not only to the Jewish people.   Because I have received Your Son Yahushua, and have been cleansed from all unrightousness in His Blood, I am free to receive this Gift which He has poured out from Your right hand. Lord Yahushua, baptize me now into the Holy Spirit, clothing me with Power from on high, that I may live the life You have called me to live.  Lord Yahueh, my Father, I now receive Your Promise and offered Gift.  I yield myself completely to Your Spirit, and desire to praise and worship you in spirit and in truth. May my lips now pour forth the perfect praise you so rightly deserve, in a language I've never learned, embarking me on a path of spiritual fulfillment and power in Your Son.   Thank you, my Lord, for clothing me with the Holy Spirit!"
