The Holy Spirit is a He not an it.

I know He is like a spirit that is always present, like guardian angels, except that He is inside us. What is the difference from being inside or beside us? Why does it matter that He is inside instead of beside us?

Hey adstar .... You took the words right out of my mouth. Not What but who. I could never ever call that Holy Spirit a what. He is very personal to me. That is almost like disrespect to the third person of the trinity. Holy Spirit is here with me every moment of the day. He is my comforter.

Sorry He is not like a Spirit . He is living inside me .Because when He lives inside , you can feel His guidance, He reveals thoughts and promises to you, He is ever present in the times of need , in the storms of life, in the good times and the bad . I can feel His Holy Presence.As you read the Word daily and meditate it is the Holy Spirit that speaks to you.

Your saying He reveals His thoughts and promises to us. Also since He is inside us it's almost as if we are Him. And He is walking around on earth still.

Since the Holy Spirit is God He is omni present. He does dwell in our inner man. He does reveal the Word and the Father's will to us.

The Holy Spirit is one with our maker...He's the way that man meets the Savior.
