He has like, dislikes, feelings and emotions. Because He is God He is also Love which is why the first fruit He shows of His presence in a person is Love from which all the other fruit flows.

He is God’s guide for you. He is given to you to guide you in your relationship with God so you will be a good citizen of The Kingdom of God. His presence in you indicates you belong to God.

Knowing Him and how to hear Him is very important as the only way to be an adopted son of God and live properly as a citizen of The Kingdom of God is to be led (guided) by Him.

You are never alone as He lives in you. All others on earth may reject you or desert you but He will never leave you. If you reject Him He has not left you but you have left Him.

He is a gentleman and a servant. He is gentle and will never force you to do anything but will gently guide you into God’s Will. He is a servant as He humbles Himself to guide you and meet any of your needs He can.

This booklet is written the intention of helping you understand your relationship to The Holy Spirit so you can relate to Him in an intimate way and walk in His Guidance and as a result of this relationship and guidance become a good citizen of the Kingdom of God.

If you do not hear The Holy Spirit’s guidance then perhaps it is best to start with the last section called "How to hear The Holy Spirit".

He never promotes Himself but always points to Jesus, giving Him the Glory for whatever happens.

He serves out of Love and the way He deals with people illustrates His Character (Gal 5:22-23 the Fruit of the Spirit) which is also the Character of The Father and Jesus.

He guides and mentors you quietly and gently and never overrides your free will.

He will tell you all you need to know about anything and does this humbly freely giving you the knowledge you need without requiring any thing from you except for you to use it for the promotion of Jesus and The Kingdom of God.

He does not force anything on you but waits until you are ready to accept what He needs to tell you and quietly and gently prompts you about any sin until you either repent or reject His advice.

He desire fellowship with you because He joys in the relationship He has with the ‘sons of God’ that joyfully follow His advice and leading.

He will be with you now and in eternity, forever! So it is advisable to get to know Him now rather than after you die so you do not miss out on all God has for you to do and enjoy.

So appreciate The Holy Spirt, how He quietly works for your good with His only reward being the Glory Jesus will get from your service of Him as well as the Joy He has in seeing you mature into the person Jesus desires you to be.

Never ignore or abuse the relationship you have With The Holy Spirit and He will be able guide you to do great things for God and The Kingdom of God.

Jn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Jn 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

If a person can hear The Holy Spirit clearly they do not ned legalistic, denominational or any other man made guidelines to guides them. The Holy Spirit will guide them personally and tell them what Jesus wants and not what man has reasoned out as being The Will of God

Jesus promised The Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth and not just spiritual truth and tell us what we needed to know about the future as well as the present.

To deny being able to be led or hear a Personal Holy Spirit is to call Jesus a liar and to deny the personality of The Holy SPirit which in a sense is a type of blaspheming The Holy Spirit. It also means you use reason to do the work of God and God said we cannot reason out His Ways they are so far above anything we can reason or work out.

Those who are in a righteous (correct) relationship with Jesus, led by The Holy Spirit are called "sons of God" (Rom. 8:14). This refers to being adopted by God as a "son" of His with all the rights of the natural born son. Jesus. Jesus calls us family (relatives by adoption of His Father). Accordingly, God looks after us as His son because we love His natural born son, Jesus.

What Father, who love as their son, does not provide for their needs. Hence we can trust Mat 6:33 unless we don’t trust God’s Love. The Father has given us Jesus. Everything we need to be able to get in to a righteous relationship with Him and The Father. What more can He give us but the physical things we need to live and this He promises and does.

So remember your relationship to God as an adopted son with all the rights and responsibilities of an adopted son and as long as you trust His love you will be content with what He does to and for you.

An argument is that The Holy Spirit is impersonal and does not guide people personally these days. Jesus said He would give each of His followers The Holy Spirit to:

Comfort them

Guide them

Teach them

If The Holy Spirit is not a personal Holy Spirit talking to each one of us individually or is not able to do this then Jesus lied and He cannot be redeemer as He cannot be a sinless offering so we are back under The Law and the sacrificial system of God.

Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

If The Holy Spirit does not lead you how do you know what God wants you to do given that many things occurring these days are not in the Bible and there are no clear cut guidelines in regard to many of them if at all. An example is Denominations. These are not in the Bible so if The Holy Spirit is not guiding you about them who is then? It leaves only man or the devil or both.

There is an other argument that the gifts of The Holy Spirit are not for today’s church. That presents a problem as these are what we use to minister with. Jesus said the following in His Bible:

Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Either the gifts are forever or Jesus is a liar and cannot be our redeemer. He also cannot be a sinless offering and Lord and thus cannot be saviour.

The Bible states that everyone is given something of The Spirit (a spiritual gift) so that the presence of The Holy Spirit is shown and people can minister to others on the behalf of Jesus.

1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

The Spirit is also to guide us into all truth and was given to us by Jesus to do that. If He is not a personal Spirit communicating directly with us He cannot do that and that makes Jesus a liar, the Bible in error and thus not innerent. If it is not innerent. we cannot trust it for anything let alone salvation.

Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Jesus said The Holy Spirit world also show us things to come (prophecy, words of knowledge). If does not then Jesus is a liar. The Bible is written to apply for all time and its principles apply for eternity not just in the time of the apostles or Jesus. The Holy Spirit will show us things that will happen in the future that will guide us, encourage us and give us hope. He will also show us things to warn or correct us. To say He does not do that is to call Jesus a liar, make parts of The Bible irrelevant for today (so how much else is irrelevant then as well) and also implies that The Bible is not 100% accurate (inerrant) as it has told us something that is not true.

Act 1:8 but you will receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and you will be witnesses of Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

If He was not a personal Holy Spirit He would not be able to do that. It would also be wrong of God to say that each of us would receive The Holy Spirit individually and He would work with each of us individually. It also means that if we are not listening to Him we are not being empowered by Him to do the work of Jesus. Then who is helping us. Can only be man or the devil or a combination of both.

If we do not have the empowerment, leading and gifts of The Holy Spirit it means God is asking us to do His work without the tools He and the apostles had available. He cannot be a God of Love then if He asks this of us.

The Holy Spirit shows us what God wants us to pray or command and as we by faith do this He then makes it occur on behalf of Jesus.
