We cannot separate Jesus, the Son, from the Father; He is the Everlasting Father (Is 9:6).

We cannot separate the Holy Spirit from Jesus, the Son; He is the Spirit of Jesus (Ro 8:9; Gal 4:6; Phil 1:19; I Pet 1:11).

We cannot separate the Holy Spirit from the Father; He proceeds eternally from the Father (Jn 15:26).

We cannot separate Jesus from His power; He is the power of God and sits at the right hand of Power (I Cor 1:24; Mk 14:62).

We cannot separate the Holy Spirit from His power; He is the power of God (Micah 3:8; Lk 24:49; Acts 1:8).

We dare not attempt to preach His word without allowing Him to move in power.  Jesus is the Word (Jn 1:1) and the power of God (I Cor 1:24).

We dare not attempt to separate His word from His power for He will not deny who He is (2 Tim 2:13).

We dare not attempt to separate The Shepherd, The Power of God, from His sheep, nor His sheep from His power.

We cannot separate the Holy Spirit from His gifts, for they come from Him (Eph 4:6; Ro 12:6; I Cor 12:4-6).

We cannot separate the One who is Wisdom and Knowledge from the gifts of wisdom and knowledge He manifests (Prov 8:1-9:2; Col 2:2-3; I Cor 12).

We cannot separate The Healer from the healing He performs (Ex 15:26) or His gift of healing that He has freely given to His Church (I Cor 12:9).

We cannot, we dare not, attempt to separate the Church from the Holy Spirit anymore than we would separate Jesus from His Church; the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus.

Mark C. Biteler
