An in Depth Look at the Holy Spirit
Many of my post will be blogs or videos that discuss the Holy Spirit. I feel it is very important that I post a detailed list of scripture that allow you to read what the Bible says regarding the Spirit. Feel free to email me any additional scripture that you feel need to be added to my list. Enjoy!
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, Says the Lord of Host.” Zachariah 4:6
“I can guarantee this truth: Those who believe in me will do things that I am doing. They will even do even greater things because I am going to the Father. I will do anything you ask the Father in my name so that the Father will be given Glory because of the Son. If you ask me to do something. I will do it. If you love me, you will obey my commandments. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another helper who will be with you forever. That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you alone. I will come back to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you only will see me. You will live because I live. On that day you will know that you are in me and that I am in you.” John 14:12-20
“But I am going back to the Father who sent Me, and none of you asks me where I am going. You are very sad from hearing all of this. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:5-7

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be My witness, telling people about me everywhere – in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. After Jesus said this, He was taken up to heaven. They watched until a cloud hid Him from their sight.” Acts 1:8-9
“Then He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them. He left them and was taken up to heaven. Andy they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great Joy, and they were continually in the temple blessing and praising God.” Luke 24:50
“Jesus promises that God is the Giver of good gifts. The Father’s will to bless us far exceeds the desire mere men have to bless their own children. Jesus exhorts, ‘How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Luke 11:9-13
“and being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father which, sayeth he, ye have heard me. For John truly baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.” Acts 1:4
“Gives evidence that the disciples took this to heart, praying constantly as they awaited the amazing gift.” Acts 1:14
“It was the anniversary of the day that God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. It happened 7 weeks, or 50 days, after the Passover. God said that His people should celebrate this day with special offerings and by doing no work. No matter where they lived God wanted the Jews to celebrate this feast. We call it the feast of the Pentecost, which means “the fiftieth day”. Jewish people who lived in other countries came. The Bible says they came from every country under the sun.” Leviticus 23:15-16, 21 Acts 2:5
“The Day of Pentecost came. The believers all gathered in one place. Suddenly a sound came from Heaven. It was like a strong wind blowing. It filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw something that looked like tongues of fire. The flames separated and settled on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak in languages they had not known before. They Spirit gave them the ability to do this.” Acts 2:1-4
“Wind is often a symbol for God’s Spirit in the bible. Ruah ‘The Breath of God’” John 3:8
“Through the Power of the Holy Spirit, these men could now do the impossible!” Mark 10:27
“The Jews wanted to know more about the miracle. Some chose to Believe!” Acts 2:12
“Peter spoke the words of the Holy Spirit and (12 to 120 to) 3000 put their trust in Jesus. 2000 years later that number still is growing.” Acts 2:41
“Every day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.”
“God’s power is like Supernatural dynamite, and it was given to each believer.” Act 2:38
“Miracles followed in the rest of Acts. The sick were healed, evil spirits were cast out, Peter raised a woman from the dead, and his shadow fail on them and they were healed. God did not give them, nor you this power for your own fame, glory or popularity.” Act 2:42-47
