Then again, sometimes He comes in like a rushing mighty gale like when the disciples were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Marilyn says when she was younger, the Holy Spirit began moving on her once she became born again.

He just blew gently, giving me a hunger to pray and read the Bible. One night, while standing in a meeting and praising the Lord, Marilyn had an unusual encounter with the Holy Spirit. She began to rock back and forth almost involuntarily. It was gentle and sweet, but she thought, God, what is this?

This is strange to me! Just stay sweet in me.

What the Bible Says about…

Marilyn says that God wants to bring Holy Spirit revival to the body of Christ, but it takes preparation on our part. We need to be able to touch Him and know Him in a personal way. Wonderful things began happening in her meetings. People were being saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. By the second day, Marilyn knew something was cooking. She began teaching on the Psalms and people began crying.

When the altar call was over and the service dismissed, no one left. For example, the Bible mentions the spirit of Pharaoh Genesis Of course, there is a distinction between me and my spirit, just as there is a difference between me and my breath.

This is vital to understanding the Holy Spirit. Throughout the Bible, God is pictured as a Person -- not as an ordinary mortal of course, but as an infinite and eternal Divine Person. A great deal of confusion about the Holy Spirit arises from not understanding that the spirit is a part of a person. Some people think of God as three Persons. But if each person has a mouth and breath, active life and spirit, three Persons would imply three mouths breathing and three spirits speaking: At best this is confusing; at worst it leaves a person thinking of three Gods.

It is much simpler if we understand that each of us has been created in the image and likeness of God. Just as each of us has an invisible soul, a visible body and an active spirit in one person, so God has within him the Trinity of the invisible "Father", the visible "Son" and the active Spirit and life coming forth from them. Thoughout the Bible, the Spirit of God is pictured not as a separate person, but as the breath of God.

The Holy Spirit

Notice the connection between "spirit" and "breath":. He that gives breath to the people upon [the earth], and spirit to those who walk in it. All the while my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God is in my nostrils The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life. The grass withers, the flower fades: Since the breath that goes out of us is what gives us speech, the Breath or Spirit of the Lord is identified with His speech, thus His Word and His Truth. Jesus calls it "the Spirit of Truth" John Other passages are similar:.

By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth , shall not depart out of thy mouth And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding , the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

While Peter yet spoke these words , the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the Word. For it is not you that speaks , but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you. For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God: The words that I speak to you, they are Spirit , and they are life. See also Ephesians 1. One of the reasons for confusion about the Trinity is that people have taken literally words that Jesus meant to be taken figuratively.

When Jesus spoke to His disciples about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, He said, "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. I go to My Father and you see Me no more I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

Holy Spirit, Come (Like a Gentle Breeze) Lyrics by Maggi Dawn @ www.newyorkethnicfood.com

However when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. It might be translated, " This passage really does not portray the Spirit as a separate person, for one who cannot speak anything for himself, but only say what he has heard, is not an independent person, but rather a projection or voice of the person for whom it speaks.

In fact the Bible nowhere describes the Holy Spirit as a person. The Spirit is symbolized by breath, wind John 3.
