The Holy Spirit

When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, {that is} the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me.
- JOHN 15:26

What is the Holy Spirit? It is the Spirit that represents God, who is holy. There are many different types of salesmen in the world, each representing something different. Car salesmen are different from appliance salesmen, because they are representatives for two different products. In the same way, there are many spirits in the world, all representing something different. The Holy Spirit represents Jesus and will not be doing things contrary to what Jesus did. It is unfortunate that so many spirits proclaim a witness to Jesus but actually are like that man who says he is merely doing a survey when he really wants to sell windows. These false spirits are not representing Jesus. There was a Hindu, considered a god, who was just plain weird; he jerked as he talked and walked, and he made no sense. He was god, so he said, but he made god out to be strange. Another Hindu god thirsts for blood. Is this really god? We see many spirits in the Christian world that portray something much different from Jesus but proclaim they are from Jesus. Was Jesus weird, spectacular, entertaining, or exhibiting uncontrolled emotion? Was He educated or consumed with taking up offerings? Did He offer visions, promise wealth, or sing until the miraculous appeared? The Spirit of Jesus will represent Jesus; He will never be something strange and weird.
