Description

George Whitfield said, "The Holy Spirit was least known, least loved
and least worshipped member of the Trinity." The Holy Spirit is a
divine Person, equal with the Father and the Son in the Trinity
(Godhead). These three are equal in power, wisdom and majesty.
All possess the same attributes. The Holy Spirit may be called "The
Executive Member of the Godhead". For He is in the world to carry
out the plan and purposes of God the Father and God the Son. Let
me say that there is no doctrine that has been more misused, abused
and dishonored than that of the Holy Spirit of God. Church history will
prove that two great truths were lost to the church for a long period
of time. They are (1) the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and (2) the
Second Coming of Christ.
In the Apostles' creed may recite "I believe in the Holy Ghost" but this
i s all they know about Him. His name is mentioned 93 times in the
New Testament. We see His place in this Age of Grace, which is the
dispensation of the "ministration of the Spirit" II Corinthians 3:8. He
is to have pre-eminence in "church work", "social work", and "mission work.
