Once again, as is the premise of this blog, we will go to our only source of truth for the answer to this question, the Holy Bible. Let’s start this quest with looking at all three parts of the Godhead—better known as the trinity—God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit of God.

God is the coalescence of and was manifested in all three entities. While God is one being, He exists eternally as three coequal forms. They are all fully God, were not created, have existed forever, and are all eternal. God expressed His multiplicity right from the beginning of creation referring to Himself in a plural tense when He said, let Us make man in Our image.
”Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…” ~Genesis 1:26
And again this plurality is mentioned in the middle of the Bible when God is speaking to Isaiah in a vision. This verse is interesting and very telling because God is referring to Himself in both singular and plural tenses.
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us.” ~Isaiah 6:8
Now let’s really take a look at these three parts of God more closely.
We pray to the Father (Almighty God), in the name of the Son (Jesus Christ, God in the flesh—our redeemer and mediator), through the power of the Spirit (God’s power in action, His active force). Here in this next verse, the many names of God are revealed as Isaiah prophecies about the birth of the Messiah.
“For unto
Now, we’ll look more closely at the Holy Spirit. In the following verse, we see that an angel told Mary that the Holy Spirit was going to come to her and the power of God the Father would touch her through the His Holy Spirit to impregnate her, and that was why the baby she would have would be called the Son of God. Clearly, we see the Holy Spirit as the active force of God here.
“And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.” ~Luke 1:35
The Holy Spirit is also how God communicates with us, He sends His Spirit to us, to live in us and guide us into all truth. His word (the entire Bible) is truth.
“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My Statutes and you will keep My judgments and do them.” ~Ezekiel 36:27
“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” ~John 4:24
God clearly revealed the presence of His Holy Spirit right from the beginning of creation. The Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters . . . the Holy Spirit was definitely there at creation!
“ In the
Here again, in this next verse . . .
“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him…” ~Isaiah 42:1
God is making reference to all three when He says, (My Servant, My Elect One), He is referring to the Son/Jesus, and (My soul) speaking of Himself/the Father, and (My Spirit), the one and only Holy Spirit! Again, all three mentioned in the same verse.
Jesus is God! Yes, Jesus is both fully God and
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“ ~John 1:1
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” ~John 1:14
Jesus prayed to the Father, was in constant communication with the Father, and even said He was going to His Father when He promised to send a Helper, the Holy Spirit.
“And I will
God sent His Son to earth in human form—Jesus— to reconcile all humanity and to reveal the essence of God to the whole world.
“I and My Father are one.” ~John 10:30
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, God is with us.” ~Matthew 1:23
“…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself…” ~2 Corinth 5:19
The apostle, Paul, clearly revealed all three parts of the Godhead when he spoke of Jesus in the following verse. I think this verse perfectly expresses the three identities of God.
“For through

Now that we’ve begun to scratch the surface to understanding the all-loving power of God’s Holy Spirit.

Is this Jehovah’s Witness stuff ? Is it of that church? sounds like it. therefore it is false.
Thank you for your interest. To answer your question, no, this is absolutely not Jehovah’s Witness stuff. This is 100% Bible stuff. I take all of my references from the NKJV Bible. Exactly what part are you questioning? I’d be more than happy to hear what you have to say. But please first read Part 2 and Part 3 as they might clear up any confusion or misunderstanding from Part 1. This was written as a continued three part series. The following links will take you directly to them. What is the Holy Spirit? – Part 2 and What is the Holy Spirit? – Part 3
Sincerely,
