27. Two. The Spirit of the Lord (Acts 5:9) is called the Holy Spirit (verse 3). They received the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the hands by the apostles (Acts 8:17, 18; 9:17). The Holy Spirit spoke. And they were sent out by the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:2-4). Paul said to the Athenians, God giveth to everyone life, the spirit and all things. In Him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:25, 28). The invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, understood by works, and His eternal power; so that they are without excuse (Rom. 1:20). If any one hath not the Spirit of Christ he is none of His. He quickens your mortal bodies through the Spirit that dwelleth in you. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the sons of God (Rom. 8:9-11, 14, 16). What man hath known the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God. The animal man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot know them (1 Cor. 2:11, 14). There are various gifts of the Spirit which are enumerated (1 Cor. 12:7-21). The Lord is the Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Cor. 3:17). Because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father (Gal. 4:6). The ministration of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:19; Col. 1:2; Gal. 1:3). The Lord be with his spirit (2 Tim. 4:22). The Spirit of Christ, which testified (1 Pet. 1:11). There are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one (1 John 5:7). The Spirit is truth (1 John 5:6). The Spirit of My Father speaketh in you (Matt. 10:20). Jesus baptizeth you with the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:8). It is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit (Mark 13:11). John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb of his mother (Luke 1:15, 41). Jesus said, he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me (Luke 9:48). He spoke this of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive; the Holy Spirit was not yet; because Jesus was not yet glorified (John 7:39). The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of truth (John 14:17). He is also called the Comforter, and Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name (John 14:26). If I went not away, the Comforter would not come unto you; if I go away I will send him unto you (John 16:7). By going away to the Father is meant to be united to the Father, as before, the Divine truth to the Divine. That the Spirit of truth from the Lord is about to receive, etc. (John 16:13-15).
