God is three persons in one - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God became a man in Yeshua, so that Yeshua could die for our sins. Yeshua rose from the dead to offer salvation to all people through spiritual renewal and rebirth. When Yeshua ascended into Heaven, His physical presence left the Earth, but He promised to send the Holy Spirit so that His spiritual presence would still be among mankind.
The Holy Spirit first became available to all believers at Pentecost. Whereas in Old Testament day, the Holy Spirit empowered specific individual for specific purposes. Now all believers have the power of the Holy Spirit available to them. This is the promise of Yeshua to give us another counselor to be with us forever, and lasting peace.
The Symbol Of Holy Spirit :
- Water
- Anointing
- Fire
- Cloud and Light
- The Seal
- The Dove
Water
God is called the fountain of life and the spring of living water. In John 4:14…
But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life
In saying He would bring living water that could forever quench a person’s thirst for God. For the living and written word in the Bible can satisfy our thirsty soul. Living water also signify Holy Spirit. When whoever accepted and baptize in it, it would bring eternal blessing.
Anointing
Anointing usually refers to the pouring out of the special olive oil. One of the anointing that God give to us is the Holy Spirit. When we believe in God, we belong to Him, and will receive all His benefit. Salvation is ours and we will receive much more than we can ask for when Christ return. The comfort and power of Holy Spirit that God given to us is a down payment of the benefit of our eternal life with God’s presence.
Christ lives in us through the Holy Spirit and we who live in Christ with our total submission in Him with full obedient, trust and rely on Him for guidance and strength - It is a life giving relationship with Christ that eventually will lead us to eternity.
Fire
God’s fire is present in every believer’s life today. He light the fire for when we believe in Him, the Holy Spirit will comes to live with us, so that we will grow in grace and set us free from all bondages. We have confidence to come to Him for forgiveness and restoration. We can carry out our work with strength and enthusiasm.
Cloud and Light
The revelation of Christ Yeshua’s truth to us, although we may not be able to see or to use all of that truth right now. As we obey and put God’s teaching into practice, the truth will then only be clearer to us, through the leading of Holy Spirit that live in us. A pillar of cloud and pillar of fire ( fire signify light ) are the gifts of God to protect us day and night. In the time of old testament, there is no bible for them to refer to. Thus, we are blessed to have God’s word to know that he is with us, helping us on our journey and leading us from one level to another level of glory and maturity in Christ.
The Seal
One of the anointing gift from God. God place His seal on Christ Yeshua and also seal us in Him. It is an assurance from God’s protection over our soul and indicates how valuable we are to Him. Having belief in God, we were marked in Him with a Seal, the promise of Holy Spirit. It is a proof that we are God’s children and there’s secure eternity life for us.
The Dove
When Christ came out from the water of His baptism, the Holy Spirit, in the form of dove came down upon Him and remain with Him. In this passage, all three persons of the Trinity were present and active: God the Father speaks, God the Son is baptized, and God the Holy Spirit descends on Yeshua.
God bless you.
