The Holy Spirit Is God

I am continuing with a few postings this week on the Holy Spirit. Today we see that the Holy 

Spirit is just as much God as the Father and Son.  It is important not to speak of the Holy

Spirit as "It" - that is    just so disrespectful - He is God. Take time over these days to worship 

Him - talk to Him - call on Him to be near.
