About the holy spirit
The Bible teaches us that God is made up of three parts. Do you believe in the Trinity? The Triune God? Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
I do, but I had problems drawing Holy Spirit into my worship and prayers, until Holy Spirit spoke up and gave me directions. He knows I need remedial instruction. I’m not kidding about that. If things aren’t crystal clear to me, if they are just hinted at, I often do not “get it.” I’m eternally grateful for His directions!
I often called upon our Heavenly Father and Jesus by name, but unless it was specifically laid out in prayer or hymn, I generally didn’t pray directly to Holy Spirit, except as part of the Triune God—Our Everlasting God.
This in part was because of a lack of understanding. I believed, but I didn’t understand how to put my beliefs into practice.
In this guide I share some of my interactions with Holy Spirit. Listening to the quiet voice in your head can save your life and send you in wonderful directions you never before considered. The book also features stories about their own experiences with Holy Spirit from other authors, including:
Vicki Hinze
Denise Lynn
and Peggy Webb,
plus readers:
Danette Denton
Vickie Harper
and Karla Stoker.
About The Nicene Creed
The word catholic literally means “universal,” as in “the universal church.”
“It originally was applied to all Christians because we are all part of the universal church in the way that we are all members of the Body of Christ. The Latin word is catholicus, and in Greek it is katholikos, from the Greek phrase meaning “on the whole, according to the whole or in general.” ~ From GotQuestions.org https://www.gotquestions.org/Catholic-meaning-definition.html

The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen. ~ Book of Common Prayer (Episcopal Church)
THE HOLY GHOST
***
Are you searching for happiness? For meaning in your life?
In our search for happiness and feeling complete, we have a strong inner desire to be closer to God, to have a one-on-one bond with him.
Can you imagine Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, having strolls with God where they discussed everything of importance?
We can have that kind of rapport, too. Even though we are earth-bound for now, a deep and meaningful connection is possible. The pathway to this relationship is through Holy Spirit.
I am neither a scholar nor a student of scriptures. I am a sinner. I am a Christian. And I’ve made a study of biblical principles I want to know more about or explore further. As a result, I’ve gathered information that might be helpful to others. This is my offering to you and to the Everlasting God.
Holy Spirit was part of Genesis, the beginning, and was involved in creation. He judges humanity, He is instrumental in the Church and He aids in our redemption and salvation.
The following are some of the points I’m making and illustrating about Holy Spirit throughout this book. I hope you find them helpful. While He interacts with us, He has additional functions, obligations and duties as well.
1. Holy Spirit is an entity—a person. He is part of God (the Godhead) but is not an individual. He is part of the whole God.
2. Holy Spirit has personal characteristics and a personality.
3. Holy Spirit has emotions.
4. Holy Spirit cares about us and watches over us.
5. Holy Spirit helps us discover God and Jesus. He helps us learn more about them. His insight inspires us while reading the Bible or studying biblical concepts. Communications with Him are direct conduits to God.
6. Holy Spirit helps purify us so that we will later be ready to go to heaven.
7. Holy Spirit inspires us to teach, preach, write and more.
8. Holy Spirit leads us to help others.
9. Holy Spirit dwells within us (indwells us).
10. Holy Spirit warns us.
11. Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf.
12. Holy Spirit teaches us right from wrong.
