It signifies with, together, in conjunction. Communion is only possible between two or more persons.
Communion with the Holy Ghost is only possible on condition of His personality and His holiness.
III. What Constitutes Personality
Most people have a wrong conception of personality. Their conception of personality is bodily
form, bodily manifestation, visible, and material substance, or corporeity. Personality is more than
corporeity. Many think of the outward, the visible, and material when they think of personality. God
is a Spirit, and is invisible. Man wants to see God, but God refuses to be seen. Man's idea of
personality is form with a body, a head, arms and fingers, limbs and feet. Wax figures to resemble
men have been made which appeared so real and lifelike that intelligent people from a little distance
could not distinguish they were mere wax figures. Even though they looked like persons, yet they
were only figures, having shape or form. The elements of personality are not flesh, corporeity, or
physical features, but they are will, mind, knowledge, love, intelligence, and grief. The Holy Spirit
possesses these distinctive qualities.
IV. Why He Must Be a Person
In order for the Holy Spirit to fully compensate for the absence of Christ and fill His place, He
of necessity must be a Person. Only a Person Who is His equal can fill His place. A mere influence
or impersonal force could not come up to the level of Christ. The arrangement Christ made for His
going to the Father, and the coming of the Holy Spirit, would in no sense deprive His followers of
any of the association, help, teaching, comfort, and leadership which He gave them. In fact, it was
for the best of all concerned that Christ should ascend to be with the Father, and that the Holy Spirit
should descend to be with the believers on earth. This transaction vitally benefited Christ, all
believers, and the entire world. The Spirit as a Person and God was capable of taking the place left
vacant by Christ.
V. Characteristics of His Personality
The Comforter came to take the place of the absent Saviour, and of necessity must be just as
capable as Christ. He could not be inferior to Him, but He must be just as holy, just as loving, just
as powerful, just as intelligent, and just as patient and faithful to the disciples as Christ was to them.
The characteristics of the personality of the Comforter are equal to the characteristics of Christ. He
is infinitely holy, wise, powerful, intelligent, patient, and faithful.
VI. The Desire of the Holy Spirit for Us
God has made a perfect provision for our complete salvation and our most efficient usefulness.
The Holy Spirit is the Executive of the Godhead. The works of God in our lives are wrought by the
Person of the Spirit. The Spirit desires to do a perfect work in our lives in regard to our salvation and
usefulness. He will work to the fullest extent when we yield ourselves to Him. It is the desire of the
Spirit to convict, regenerate, sanctify, and glorify all who yield themselves to Him. It is also His
desire to lead us into a life of holy labors for the Lord. The privileges and possibilities of an humble
and obedient Christian are great. The Holy Spirit eagerly desires to do a great work through us. He
