“But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.”
John 14:26 Amplified Version

Happy Pentecost! I’m writing this on Pentecost even though it won’t be published until sometime this week.

The Trinity is so much more than we can wrap our magnificent brains around. Our mystery and fascination with God continues to increase the further we go in our walk with Him.

Some say the Holy Spirit is the most elusive of the three persons in the Godhead. Pentecost is the celebration of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit after Jesus ascended. The infilling allows us to be transformed so that we become more like Christ.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8

The combination of the three, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is the love, power, and victory that moves us on, closer to God and more like Him.
