The Holy Spirit is probably the least known person of the Triune Godhead. This is due to the fact that, for a long time in the past, He and His manifestations were subdued and repressed due to a near universal misunderstanding of his person and work. The restoration of the recognition of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the church in modern times began in the early 1900s with a series of events, the most significant of which was the Azusa Street Revival. The inception of this revival ushered in renewed zeal for the work of God, accompanied by a spate of renewed interest in the scriptural teaching on the Holy Spirit and His gifts, and the appreciation of His ministry from the beginning of the church to now.
Some important things to note about the Holy Spirit is that
1. He is a person. That is, He has personal attributes and is referred to as a person. He also has a mind, a will and emotions.
2. He is God. He possesses the attributes of God.
3. He is like Jesus.
We discuss each of these points in other posts.
