The Holy Spirit and the GOD Head

What Did Jesus Say About The Holy Spirit?

Select verses from John 14 NKJV

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” 

“I tell you the truth, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,  He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.” 

Jesus is introduced to the world as The Son of GOD and then introduces GOD to us as our Heavenly Father; then says He is leaving to prepare a place for us where we will be with Him for eternity, but He will send us The Helper, The Spirit of Truth who will abide with us forever. Therefore not leaving us orphans, The Holy Spirit is the person of the GOD Head that never leaves us or forsakes us. He is the seal of our salvation, “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of GOD, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30), and He dwells in us, “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from GOD, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify GOD in your body and in your spirit, which are GOD’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

Remember there is only one GOD, He is The Father, The Son, The Spirit! When we use the words “and the” it seems to give most believers the unspoken belief that The Spirit is separate from The Father and The Son. This is poor theological understanding, from the beginning GOD has revealed Himself as plural but not separate. The name of GOD revealed in Genesis 1:1 is Elohim which is a plural form, then in 1:26 Elohim says, “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; …”. Not images or likenesses!

It is critical in our understanding of and our relationship to GOD to know that in this natural life with our natural mind we will never fully understand nor be able to fully describe Jehovah Elohim Yeshua. The Word of GOD is the foundation of faith upon which we understand the fullness of the GOD Head. When we believe the Word of GOD we are able to show others the awesomeness of the True and Living GOD who is their Heavenly Father and Eternal Savior.
