Do you believe in The Holy Spirit? Here’s my story of belief.
Inspired by a tragic event that occurred on Fat Tuesday, March 5, 2019. A story of life, death and faith and the journey of an ordinary guy called by the Holy Spirit, this odyssey follows him through the senseless death of an innocent girl and his struggle with PTSD, his own mortality and his devout beliefs. The Spirit travels through the lives of other realistic characters as they find their way through their own beliefs creating their own unique moral compasses. The perils of day to day life culminates each journey with a heartwarming story of faith and love of others.

The Holy Spirit is a central concept in Christianity. Here are some key points about the Holy Spirit from a Christian perspective:
- Part of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit is one of the three persons of the Trinity – God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. The three are considered co-equal and co-eternal.
- Divine Nature: The Holy Spirit is believed to be fully divine, with all the attributes of God, including being omniscient, omnipresent, and eternal.
- Role in Scripture: The Holy Spirit is described as playing an active role throughout the Bible, from the creation account to inspiring the writing of Scripture itself.
- Relationship with Believers: Christians believe the Holy Spirit dwells within believers and helps guide, convict, gifting, and empower them for life and ministry.
- Manifestations: Some manifestations attributed to the Holy Spirit include wisdom, prophecy, healing, miracles, tongues (spiritual languages), and other spiritual gifts.
- Pentecost: The biblical account of Pentecost in Acts 2 describes the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus’s disciples, empowering them to spread the gospel.
- Symbols: Common symbols associated with the Holy Spirit include a dove, wind, fire, and water, drawing from biblical imagery.
While beliefs about the Holy Spirit vary among Christian denominations, most Christians view the Holy Spirit as the third person of the triune Godhead who plays a vital role in the lives of believers and the church. The Holy Spirit is considered a source of wisdom, power, and spiritual gifts.
