Is there a creator?

                                         What is the holy spirit?

Acts chapter 7 verse 55:-   55 But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand,

A comparison of Bible texts that refer to the holy spirit shows that it is spoken of as ‘filling’ people; they can be ‘baptised’ with it; and they can be “anointed” with it, none of these expressions quoted in the scriptures below  would be appropriate if the holy spirit were a person:

Luke chapter 1 verse 41:-   41 Well, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant in her womb leaped, and Elizabeth was filled with holy spirit.

Matthew chapter 3 verse 11:-   11 I, for my part, baptise you with water because of your repentance, but the one coming after me is stronger than I am, whose sandals I am not worthy to take off. That one will baptise you with holy spirit and with fire.
Acts chapter 10 verse 38:-   38 about Jesus who was from Naz'a·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because God was with him.

                                                                     Power Not Person!

The correct identification of the holy spirit must and does fit all the scriptures that refer to that spirit. And with this viewpoint, it is logical to conclude that the holy spirit is God's active force or power. It is not a person but is a powerful force that God causes to emanate from himself to accomplish his holy will:

2 Peter chapter 1 verse 21:-   21 For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.

The Spirit from God is a motivating force that can guide you or impel you or even empower you to fulfil God's purpose no mater what obstacles try to prevent you!

                                                 Speaking in Tongues is NOT Holy Spirit!

The opening chapters of the book of Acts says that when Jesus’ followers received holy spirit they would be witnesses about him, and when they did receive that spirit, observers were impressed by the fact that, although the ones speaking were all Galileans, they were speaking about the magnificent things of God in languages that were familiar to the many foreigners who were present, and they all understood what was being said, But the record does not say that there were any emotional outbursts on the part of those who received the spirit, and the only ones who receive the spirit are the true followers of Jesus Christ and the true worshippers of Jehovah:

Acts chapter 1 verse 8:-   8 But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·de'a and Sa·mar'i·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.”

Galatians chapter 5 verses 22 and 23:-   22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

It is this fruitage, rather than outbursts of religious fervour, that one should look for when seeking to find people who truly have God’s spirit, the modern practise of speaking in tongues is NOT brought about by Holy Spirit?

                                                    Faith is Strengthened By Spirit!

PLEASE NOTE:    As a matter of interest many expressions used in normal speech today indicates the correct way to view the effect of spirit, we often say things like "that is the right spirit to show" or "that is a real spirited performance". Here we are not talking about the spirit being a living entity, but a motivating power that moves a person to act in a positive way! All of God's servants throughout history have been empowered by Holy Spirit which helps them serve Jehovah without wavering, and strengthens their faith to carry out his will!

                                    Always Exercise Faith!
