John 14:12-21 {16-18}, John 16:12-13, Proverbs 3:5-7

First, we need to notice that the Holy Spirit is a unique person and not simply a power or an influence. He is spoken of as “He,” not as “it.” This is a matter of importance because if you listen carefully to people speaking, even within your own congregations you may hear the Holy Spirit referenced in terms of a it. You may even catch me doing it during the teaching on the Holy Spirit, however for grammar purposes saying it verse he will fit in getting to the point of the matter, so save all the comments or emails, I understand that the Spirit of God, the third person of the Trinity, is personal. He is a PERSON.

Ø He possesses the attributes of: Part #1

• MIND ~ Romans 8:27 -When you blend your mind in with the Holy Spirit and keep it blended, there will not be enough devils from the pits of hell able to defeat you. To unite your mind with the mind of the Holy Spirit is to harmonize, mix, or blend with the living Word of God.

• WILL ~1 Corinthians 12:11 -What he distributes and to whom he distributes will always be in line with the will of the father, those people may not be “the people’s choice” but they will be God's choice.

• FEELING ~Ephesians 4:30, Isaiah 63:10 -Grieving is an emotion. Sorrow is an emotion. Grieving the Holy Spirit by what we say or do is a big deal. It’s not like just simply hurting someone’s feelings. Some of the ways the Holy Spirit can be grieved is when: we return to the things from which we should have been set free, when we don’t forgive others and when we hold onto bitterness and resentment.

• He can be LIED to ~ Acts 5:3, 2 Corinthians 10:5 - Everyone pray this prayer, Lord, don’t ever let me get so sloppy in the way I do business or speak to others that I forget that you both see and hear me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

• He can be RESISTED ~ Acts 7:51 - A person who is resisting the Holy Spirit is standing guard at the door of his heart to make sure that God is not welcomed inside. He is not about to hand over control of his life to God. It is largely a control issue. Man's sinful condition makes him obsessive in this regard.

• He can be INSULTED ~ Hebrews 10:29 - What does it mean to insult the Spirit of grace? Who insults the Spirit of grace? To find the answers to these questions, we must understand the book of Hebrews. The book of Hebrews was written to convince Hebrews, Jewish people, that the old covenant law of Moses was replaced by the new covenant of the grace of Jesus (Hebrews 7:18; 22; 8:7-8, 13; 9:15; 10:5; 13:20).

The Spirit was trying to convince them of the truths of the new covenant; yet their hearts were hard to the blood of Jesus, choosing the blood of animals and casting aside the blood of Jesus to forgive their sins and make them holy and in doing this, they insulted the Spirit of grace. Today, the Spirit of grace is insulted by those failing to rest in the finished work of Christ as demonstrated in constantly asking God for forgiveness and seeking to stay in fellowship with God through constant confession or by practicing certain religious works. Much like the Hebrews, they refuse to believe that God remembers sins no more now that Jesus was sacrificed for their sins. ~ Hebrews 8:12
