The Holy Spirit indwells us. The Holy Spirit given as token and pledge of an eternal inheritance. The Holy Spirit Seals us for eternal life and as Trustor of an eternal inheritance settled in the heavenlies. The Holy Spirit fills our soul influencing, controlling, leading, guiding, motivating stimulating, encouraging
and constraining us. The Holy Spirit is God just as much as Jesus and the Father are God. He is moreso God to us because Jesus
is glorified in heaven and the Holy Spirit is sent to take Jesus place as God with us, only moreso, God in us, God filling
us! That is why Jesus said, "It is to your advantage if I go to be with the Father, because then the Other Comforter will
come and He shall be in You." Even better than Jesus prophesied, He shall fill us. The Holy Spirit bestows Holy Spirit gifts on us at salvation which become part of our "good works that we
should walk in them." Holy Spirit gifts include: 1. Speaking and praying in tongues to buildup and edify the believer in the
Lord; and 2. Communicative gifts to edify and fortify the church, the body of Christ; and 3. gifts of giving, hospitality,
helping with worship and church administration: and 4. Musical ability with inspiration to stimulate and inspire both believer
and unbeliever alike.
