Who Is the Holy Spirit?

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — three in one — have been present and active throughout all of Scripture. As believers, we hold this truth by faith, and when that truth becomes revelation, it changes everything.

But who is the Holy Spirit?
And why does the Spirit seem to resist religion and the traditions of men?

The simple answer is this: in every denomination where Jesus is truly lifted up, His Spirit is present. The Holy Spirit moves where He is welcomed, and it’s through that living encounter — not ritual — that the body of Christ is drawn back into deeper relationship with God. It’s His Spirit that gives us the grace and power to live a holy life.

Jesus came to break down barriers of man-made religion and to invite us into something far greater — a living relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. When believers open their hearts without restraint, when churches welcome Him fully into their atmosphere, the glory of God becomes tangible.

That’s the difference between religion and relationship — between knowing about God and being born of His Spirit.

Does that mean those who still hold to tradition aren’t truly saved? I don’t believe that. If someone has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and has allowed His Spirit to begin transforming their heart, then salvation is at work. Only God sees the heart; only He can judge the process.

What I’m trying to say is this: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one — omnipresent and inseparable — but the manifestation of the Spirit becomes visible when faith replaces formality. The Spirit of God, the third person of the Trinity, lacks nothing. He carries everything that is good and true: healing, provision, answers, gifts, deliverance, and power.

When we allow the Holy Spirit full access — without inhibition or control — heaven touches earth, and the supernatural becomes natural.

I believe miracles are God’s way of revealing His glory, not to prove anything, but simply because He loves us.

So why don’t we see more creative miracles among believers today?

I’ve often asked myself that. Could it be that our divisions, our denominational lines, or our reliance on routine have weakened our faith and our awareness of the Spirit’s presence?

We can know of God, and know of Jesus, and know of the Spirit — but to truly walk in the Spirit is different. We live in a very natural world, and sometimes we forget that the spiritual realm is more real than what we see.

Maybe the key is found in this simple verse:

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

If we could quiet the noise — our constant thoughts, distractions, and the pull of social media — our born-again spirit could tune in more deeply to the voice of God. In that stillness, our spirit connects with His, and we begin to receive from the endless sea of His power, peace, and presence.

That’s where transformation happens.
That’s where heaven meets earth.
That’s where the Holy Spirit makes Himself known.
