Is the holy spirit a person or force? Why the holy spirit the third person of the godhead is a divine person not a power.

In every generation, there has always been questions about the personality of the Holy Spirit being a person and not a force.

It was the Lord Jesus Christ, who really brought out the fact that the Spirit of God is a person and not a force but a person.

To do this, He revealed that the Holy Spirit was called “He,” never she.”

Or, He is also called “Him” or “Himself,” never is He called any name in the feminine.

One of the ministries that the Lord revealed to us is that God has given to us every kind of proof that we would ever need to prove that God the Holy Spirit is a person and not a force.

This is one of the reasons that there are times when God the Holy Spirit acts as a “mother” to us in the sense of teaching us WHAT and HOW to love, to be gentle, merciful, and is even called our comforter.

We all need to remember that He is a person who the Bible calls Him or “He” but never “she.”

Notice JOH 14:16, where our Lord said "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
JOH 14:17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.

Notice JOH 15:26 "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me,

In fact, in Joh 16:7, our Lord said, "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

JOH 16:8 "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment;

JOH 16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

JOH 16:10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me;

JOH 16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

JOH 16:12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

JOH 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

JOH 16:14 "He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you.

What we need to address is that these passages and others reveal that God the Holy Spirit is revealed by the miracles of the Spirit which are designed to bring glory to the Lord and power to the believer.

Actually, a true but unseen miracle produces the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and selfcontrol, all controlled and used in some way to bring glory to our Creator.

However, do not miss the miracles that are obvious but not known as such --- and that is the miracle of God the Holy Spirit who is conforming us into the image of God’s Son, Jesus Christ.

Miracles are normally the work of God who places His protection and His wall of fire upon and around believers in a supernatural way.

Being baptized by the Holy Spirit is another miracle that God performs at the moment of salvation -- this is a life-changing event.

It is a miracle that we take for granted the power of God, especially that power to make us new creatures in Christ.
It is a miracle of God given us life-changing power and words that can change us forever.

True and real miracles are the monopoly of the sovereignty of God.

This means that the Lord will supply everything you and I will have or ever need.

No human being, including the human nature of Jesus Christ, has ever performed a miracle.
