It's that personal touch

The Bible term Holy Ghost is really God + Host combined into one word.

“It’s not talking about Casper and ‘Booooo,’ throw a sheet over it,” explains Jordan. “But even if you threw a sheet over it and say ‘It’s a spook!’ you’d do that to try and give identity to a person.

“The references to Holy Ghost are references to the person. You know where God resides in you when He comes to live in you? ‘Your body’s the temple of the Holy Spirit,’ but what part of you anatomy does He connect with? God is a spirit and you have a spirit, soul and body, and He would have to reside in your spirit because that’s why He gave you one—so He could touch you, connect with you. The connection you have with God is in your spirit.

“The references to spirit and Holy Spirit are references to the function of the person. That’s kind of a close thing but you’re looking for the emphasis of the text and that’s why it’s that way.

“When that term is used about this third person of the godhead, the emphasis every time in the text is on His person. The person who dwells in you that’s connected to you. When you find Him referred to as the Holy Spirit, and the spirit’s being talked about, you’ll find the text will be referring to the third person of the godhead and His activity in relationship to you.

You know how you discover that? You start looking at where it’s referred to as ‘it’. Why would He say it? It; it’s that that’s function. ‘The spirit itself maketh intercession.’ You say, why would He say it? Because its spirit to neuter. What’s He talking about? The function of the Holy Spirit.

“By the way, He doesn’t CAUSE you; you’re filling isn’t one of instant ‘speak as the Spirit gives you utterance,’ but it’s as you appropriate by faith God’s Word to you. So it’s an indirect empowerment with us through faith in His Word. It’s important to follow those things.”
