In this episode, we dive deep into understanding who the Holy Spirit is and how He guides believers today. Far from being a mere force or a "junior God," the Holy Spirit is God in essence, representing the third person of the Godhead living within us in this dispensation. We explore the practical ways the Holy Spirit speaks and leads us, including His still, small voice, the inward witness of peace, and the gift of speaking in tongues which builds us up spiritually.
