Where did the Holy Spirit come from? When I was young in my walk with the Lord I
always believed that the Holy Spirit did not exist until Pentecost. While doing my studying I was wrong. In this blog post we will learn where the
Holy Spirit came from and what some of His roles were.
Creator
Genesis 1:1-2 “In
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty darkness
was over the surface of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the
waters.”
The Holy Spirit was with the Father from the very
beginning. He had an integral role in
the creation of the world.
He forms us
Job 33:4 “The
spirit of God has made me; the breath of the almighty gives me life.”
Regeneration
Ezekiel 36:26-27 “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. And I will put my spirit in you and move you
to follow my decrees & be careful to keep my laws.”
Regeneration simply means a new heart, a new beginning, a
clean slate.
Gives us truth to speak
Micah 3:8“But
for me, I am filled with the power with the Spirit of the Lord and with justice
and might to declare to Jacob his transgressions to Israel his son.”
Divine instrument of revelation and inspiration.
2 Sam 23:2 “The
spirit of the Lord spoke through me, his word was on my tongue.”
Was essential to scripture
2 Peter 1:20-21 “Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of scripture came about
by the prophets own interpretation- for prophecy never had it’s origin in the
will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy
Spirit”
Holy Spirit is the divine author and originator of
scriptures.
A Helper for Jesus
Matthew 3:16 “As
soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment, heaven was opened and he saw
the Spirit of God descending like dove and lightning on him.”
As you can see, the Holy Spirit has many roles in our
lives. If you still have questions
about Pentecost, keep reading because we will be exploring Acts 2 in the
following Blog
