The document discusses the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Godhead or Trinity. It provides biblical evidence that the Holy Spirit is a distinct personality and not just a force or influence. Several passages are cited showing the Holy Spirit engages in personal actions like teaching, commanding, and suffering insults. In summary, the Holy Spirit is presented as an individual with will, emotions, and reason who accomplishes God's work through speaking God's word.

These are examples of systematic theology of the Holy Spirit, also known as Pneumatology, They will give you an insight on how the Holy Spirit is studied.
The Holy Spirit leads us in our inner man into the plans and purposes that God has for us. In this message, we learn how to recognise the voice of the Holy Spirit in our spirit, in order to carry out His instructions and follow His leading.
My friend, you don’t need to keep waiting until the Lord tells you what your call is. He already stated it in the scriptures. He charged us to do the very same things that he was doing. He was not going to ask us to do something that we were not able to do. He put it in our spirit everything that we could ever need to do what he commanded us to do.

The Revelation Chapter 6 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
In this sixth chapter, the Lamb begins to open the six seals that will send judgment upon the earth. The voice of a creature sounding like thunder invites John to come and see. John sees a white horse. The Lamb opens the second seal and a second creature tells John to come and see and he sees another horse, a red one that was to take peace from the earth. The third seal is opened and John sees a third horse, a black one. When the fourth seal is opened, the voice of the fourth creature says come and see to John. This time he sees a pale horse whose name is Death and Hades. When the fifth seal was opened, John saw under the altar the souls of those who were slain for the word of God. They asked how long before the Lord would avenge their blood. We are told that they were given white robes and they were told to rest awhile until their fellow servants and brethren should be killed. The sixth seal is opened and there is a great earthquake, the sun becomes black as sackcloth, the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even as the fig tree casts her green figs when she is shaken by a mighty wind. The figurative language continues to tell John what is going to happen after this sixth seal was opened. The final paragraph in this chapter tells us that the great day of the Lamb's wrath has come. Study this chapter and see what is revealed to the apostle John for our benefit.
The Revelation Chapter 5 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John continues his description of his heavenly vision. There is an individual on the throne holding a scroll in his right hand that is sealed with seven seals. A strong messenger asks who is worthy to open the book and loose the seals, John weeps when no one is found to do so. One of the elders says there is someone and identifies him, A description follows of the actions taken by the individual and those of the four creatures and twenty four elders that were there. There are prayers described and a new song is sung by the large number of individuals there. The individual who is worshipped is noted at thye end of the chapter.
The Revelation Chapter 4 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
In this chapter, John sees a door opened in heaven and a trumpet talking to him tells him come up and he would show him things that would take place after this. John says he was "in spirit", not "in the spirit" as many translations say. John sees a throne, one on the throne described like precious stones, elders, crowns, lightnings, thunders, seven lamps, voices, creatures, an eagle, and worshipping
The Revelation Chapter 3 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
The third chapter of Revelation containing the last 3 letters to the seven local churches in Asia. One assembly is dead. However, there are those in it that are faithful to the Lord. A lesson for us. Only the Lord knows the condition of the saints in local churches and we ought to be careful how we look at them. The second local assembly was commended by the Lord for the little strength that they had and the fact that they had kept His word and not denied His name. The third assembly was lukewarm, their works being neither cold nor hot. The Lord considered this to be a sickening condition. They saw themselves as being rich and not needing anything. The Lord gave them the guidance they needed to follow. Two of the churches were told to repent. The Lord reminded them that He rebuked and chastened those who He loved. Those who overcome would be given the opportunity to sit in the Lord's throne. As in every letter, the Lord reminds them to hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
The Revelation Chapter 2 Working Copy .docxFred Gosnell
The beginning of the Lord's letters to the seven churches in Asia. In chapter two the Lord addresses the first 4 churches. One was faithful to the Lord even though they were persecuted and poor. They were told to be faithful unto death. One was commended for a number of things they had done, but were criticized for leaving their first love. One had been somewhat faithful even though they lived where Satan's seat was. However, there were those among them who held the doctrine of Balaam and the teachings of the Nicolaitans. The last one was commended because their love, faith and patience had increased. Unfortunately, they had allowed a false prophetess to teach immorality and idolatry. These three were all told to repent by the Lord.
The Revelation Chapter 1 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
Notes on Chapter one of the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to Him to show to His servants which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His messenger unto His servant John. John addressed the Revelation to the seven churches that were in Asia at the time.
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST Intro.docxFred Gosnell
Introduction to a study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ using bible passages from Old Testament prophets to understand the figurative, apocalyptic language Jesus provided to the apostle John in writing the book. Noting the internal evidence in the book and statements of other apostles to show the early date for its production and its reference to the destruction of Jerusalem. These conclusions are not original to me having been published by others such as Foy Wallace whose work I refer to throughout where I agree with it.
Life after death according to the Bible. Jesus as the faithful witness went through everything we do in life. When He died, He went to Hades according to Acts 2 like everyone else. This lesson examines that process. This translation into Telugu of the original lesson was done by Manohar Babu P to whom we are grateful.
Jesus has provided us with a pattern to follow in the words He supplied by the Holy Spirit to the inspired writers of the New Testament. We must follow His pattern in what we do in order to be faithful to Him. If we do not follow His pattern, we will not be what or who He intended. He will not recognize us nor accept what we have done. Jesus will judge us by that pattern of sound words that He supplied as He said in John 12:48. This lesson shows that.
This is the third lesson in a series about Jesus and the guidance He has given us. The first lesson is the Faithful Witness which is Jesus. He is the Creator and He came here in the flesh to save us. As the faithful witness He went through everything in the flesh that we experience, yet did not sin. He has provided in His New Testament what was witnessed by Him and we can depend upon what He says. The second lesson is Being Faithful Unto Death. Jesus provided all of the guidance His disciples need to be faithful to Him until they die. This third lesson looks at what Jesus has provided to us about what happens when we die, where we go, and the fact that we continue to live even though our body is in the grave. Jesus being the Creator and the faithful witness can be depended upon by every human being to have provided reliable information on life after death,
A study of being faithful unto death as Jesus tells the church at Smyrna, Jesus being the faithful witness who has been through what we experience is the only one who can tell us how to be faithful unto death This lesson includes some of the guidance He provided us.
A lesson about Jesus as the Faithful Witness based on Jesus coming here in the flesh and experiencing what we experience in the weakness of the flesh yet not committing any sins. Scriptures noting His resurrection as proof of everything He said to be true. Scriptures that express what He will use as the standard of judgment of all accountable people.
A study of who Jesus is according to the Old Testament and the New Testament. His life on this earth was short even though His goal was monumental, to seek and save that which was lost. He accomplished His goal by paying the price for our sins which we as sinners could not pay. Take a little time to learn about our Savior and Friend, Jesus Christ.
Jesus only built one church which is a spiritual body. In the New Testament we find that the Christians guided by inspired apostles assembled together as local assemblies or churches in order to accomplish the work the Lord gave them to do. That simple arrangement resulted in those local churches preaching the gospel throughout the whole world as the Lord commanded to be done. These slides are about those local assemblies and suggest that the Lord has not changed this arrangement.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. GOD
In our previous study we saw that the term
“God” in Genesis 1:1 is plural.
Consequently, the Godhead (Rom 1:20)
consists of three distinct beings referred to
as God the Father, God the Son and God
the Holy Spirit. These three are spirits and
have distinct personalities. Today we will
examine what the Bible teaches
concerning God the Holy Spirit.
1
2. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
Because of the many misconceptions
about the Holy Spirit, His work and
charactistics, this is an important study.
So, with open hearts and open minds, let
us see what the word of God teaches
concerning the third member of the
Godhead, the Holy Spirit.

3. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
Gen 1:2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved …ASV
Isa 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore
he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
KJV
Matt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened
unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove,
and lighting upon him:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
…
3
4. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is a member of the Godhead.
Acts 17:29 …we ought not to think that the Godhead is
like unto gold, or silver, …
Rom 1:20 …even his eternal power and Godhead; so
that they are without excuse:
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the
Godhead bodily.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness:
4
5. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
Godhead = divine nature or essence,
divinity or deity. The sum total of the
attributes and characteristics that are
common to deity.
De – ity
means God-kind, just as
Human-ity means Man-kind
The Godhead refers to God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit,
collectively.
5
6. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Godhead is three separate
personalities
– John 20:17Jesus saith …I ascend unto my
Father, and your Father; and to my God, and
your God. KJV
– Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy
throne, O God, is for ever and ever: …KJV
– Acts 5:3-4 ..why hath Satan filled thine heart
to lie to the Holy Ghost, …4 thou hast not lied
unto men, but unto God. KJV
6
7. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
Three separate personalities, cont’d
– John 17:5 …the Father ..before the world was
– Gen 1:1-2 …In the beginning… the Spirit …
– John 1:1-3, 14 ... In the beginning was the
Word … the Word became flesh …
– Matt 3:16-17 .. three in the passages …
– Matt 28:19 .. baptized in the name of the three
– Eph 2:18 .. Access to the Father involves the
three

12. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
Possesses all the attributes of personality.
Consequently, He is an individual
character, a “He”, not an “it”.
He is not a mystical, indefinite,
undefinable, gaseous substance, which
enshrouds and permeates the universe
like fog or atmosphere.
12
13. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
He is not merely the mind, temper or disposition
of the Father or the Son.
The Holy Spirit is not a mere influence or vague
impersonal form or power released by God in
response to human needs.
He is not the Bible, the New Testament or the
word of God in oral or written form. These are
products of the Holy Spirit, not He Himself.
He is an individual personality of the Godhead.
13
14. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
His work accomplished by His words
– Eph 6:13-17 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole
armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and
having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And
your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of God:
14
15. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
Led by the truth Ps 43:3 O send
out thy light and thy truth: let them lead
me;
Begotten by the word James 1:18
Of his own will begat he us with the word
of truth,

which is able to save your souls.

word - Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in

admonishing one another …

119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it
giveth understanding unto the simple.
