The Holy Spirit is a power given from God to mankind to understand the scriptures. The Holy Spirit is not an individual, but rather a gift or comforter given by Jesus Christ through His Father, the Almighty God to help us to understand the meaning of His word. The Holy Spirit is offered to any individual who desires to be a footstep follower of Christ. Many diversities of gifts are available through the Holy Spirit. It is important for an individual to ask for help of the Holy Spirit from God. It is poured out at the request through His Son.

The Holy Spirit

John 14:15-17, 26 The Holy Spirit is referred to as the comforter because it will teach us all things and help bring things into our remembrance. Christ knew that the apostles and disciples would need this extra help after he returned to heaven.

Acts 2:16-18 After Christ was resurrected, the spirit was poured upon all flesh to prophesy.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13 The Holy Spirit helps us to understand the spiritual things that are freely given to us of God.

Proverbs 1:23 Those individuals who change at God's reproof (correction), will get the help of His spirit and understanding of His words.
