We often have a tendency to think of the Holy Spirit as being a little less than God or Jesus. This is not so. The Spirit is God. All thoughout the New Testament the Holy Spirit and God are used interchangeably.
Look at this passage in Acts where Peter challenges Ananias:
Acts 5:3-4
3 But Peter said "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and kept back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
This verse pretty well shows us how the Holy Spirit and God are the same doesn't it? I believe this truth is very inportant to hold onto as we sometimes negelct the leading of the Spirit which means we are neglecting God!
I know this is kinda short this morning but it is to the point and has much to think about here! I know it has reminded me of something I hadn't thought about in some time!!!
Have a blessed day!
