In the Old Testament, how did God hear our prayers and know everything before we prayed for it? How did He always know what was going on? Where was He? Do you believe that God has always been inside of us, that He is the light and life of mankind and that without Him we would have no breath to breathe? He is the living water (air/breath) When God walked among His own and His own knew Him not, he spoke Aramaic Hebrew. The term spirit in Aramaic means breath. There is no translation for the term holy spirit. For God is both Holy and Spirit. He is also Father and Creator/Maker. Jesus is known as our huband and the church is His bride.
Isaiah 54:5--For thy Maker is thine husband, the Lord thy Redeemer the Holy one of Israel; The God of the whole Earth shall He be called.
This is the only place in the Old Testament where the word Redeemer is found.
There is no separate being that is the Holy Spirit. We recieve the GIFT of the truth through the risen saviour. Maybe we do at that moment of realization receive the gift of tongues. I have no such gift--I'm very lucky to be able to speak southern English. Not all receive the same gifts--
1 Corinthians 12. And not all receive ALL the gifts. It says to pray that we reach Heaven lacking none of them.
God is spirit and those who worship Him, worship in spirit and in truth. For He is both Holy and Spirit--His is the spirit of love.
John 4:24
God is love-
1 John 4:8
The greatest is Love-
1 Corinthians 13:13--Jesus is the greatest, and highest--He is God and God is love--He is the head, we are the body
The kingdom of God is within you--
Luke 7:21
The kingdom of God comes not with observation--
Luke 17:20
He will return like a thief in the night--
2 Peter 3:10,
Revelation 16:15
Yeshua Bless You
