Jesus my Redeemer, Name above all names;
           Emmanuel , the King , Messiah!
           Oh for sinners slain!
           Thank you , O our Father for giving us your Son,
           And for leaving your Spirit  here 
           Till your work is done .  
           
The Third Person of the Three-in-One God is the Holy Spirit.
As the  Son  came from the Father, as God's representative and gift to  humanity; so has the Son sent the Holy Spirit in his name, to the world.Jesus Christ is the Giver of the Holy Spirit. 
No one can claim  to have  received the Holy Spirit without  first receiving Jesus Christ !1 John 3:24.
God the Father,Jesus the Son of God and the Holy Spirit are one and the same Person. 
I and my Father  are one. John 10:30.
This is is the mystery of the Trinity; revealed to billions on earth through the ages by the Spirit of Truth , the Holy Spirit. John 14:17-21, John 16:8-16.
While God the Son was here on earth , the Father was in him ; manifesting  great teachings  and  miracles through him. John 14:9-11.
The ascension of Jesus paved the way for the anointing of the Holy Spirit to come on men and women, who  believe in Jesus Christ. Acts 1:1-8
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him to you. John 16:7.
After the ascension of the Son, Jesus is ALIVE, today, in the world ,permanently manifesting the same  great miracles in  his people through the presence  of the Holy Spirit; the  Spirit  of the Father and the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
This is the reason why the same teachings and the miracles which Jesus did while  on earth are  still being done amongst true  believers , even today. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me , the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he  do; because I go unto my Father. John 14 : 12.
I have attempted in this  piece to express just a tiny fraction  of what and who the Holy Spirit is. If  I wrote  a 100 blogs on this topic,I couldn't complete the full revelations of him. No body  could  claim  to be  able to grasp  the fullness of  him because he  reveals  himself  in newer  and greater dimension, all the time.
The  Holy Spirit has myriads and diverse names in the Bible. Some of which are:
Creator ,The Mighty God who calls those things that be not as if they were.
Spirit of the Living God ,Spirit of Jesus Christ ,Paraclete or Parakletos.
Fire of Jehovah ,Sword of Jehovah ,God's Tornado ,Consuming Fire.
Baptizer with Fire
Gentle Spirit , Living Water ,Oil of Anointing
Friend ,Comforter, Confidante and Helper.
Tale Bearer ,Whistle Blower ,Voice of God
Counsellor and Guide ,Solicitor and Advocate
The Resurrection Power ,Enabler in Prayer and Enabler in Ministries
The list is limitless! One  could write books  on each of his names.
From my personal experience and perceptions of him, my endearing  names  for  him are just as many .May  you receive revelations of  him , even as you read this.Amen  
Here are some of his  names by which I call him: 
1.MY BEAUTIFIER - 
In the Beginning, He MOVED into an ugly and void situation; checked it out and saw  that it needed fixing ;real good  and real fast! 
Genesis 1:1- 2.
He set  about doing just that and the  result is the spectacularly beautiful,landscaped  garden which we call EARTH,today. Genesis CHAPTERS 1 and 2.
The Holy Spirit beautifies lives and situations, even today.

2.GOD'S MIGHTY TORNADO AND TSUNAMI!
  The Holy Spirit  is  still in his business of Selective Destruction 
   to manifest his judgement against his enemies in my life  and in the lives of all his people called by his name! Exodus 12 :21- 33, Exodus 14:17-31.
 3.ABIDING PRESENCE AND MY COMFORTER

 4. MY DYNAMO BULLDOZER !
   He is the Power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ; mighty to deliver!
    He  bulldozes mighty walls  and fortresses of the enemy.
    "Shout for the Lord has given you the city...!" Joshua 6:1-5,14-20.
  The Holy Spirit bulldozes gates of brass and bars of iron. 
   When he opens the gates,they remain open. Isaiah 45:1-6.
 4.MY  MIGHTY DELIVERER 
In those moments of shame and utter desolation, he is ever-present to reassure and to deliver completely. Isaiah chapters 36 and 37.
