I am writing a new book, titled The Helper. Here is an excerpt from the book:

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” (John 14:26 NASB).

The Holy Spirit, or Spirit of God, is referred to 100 times in the Old Testament and 250 times in the New Testament. The reader can easily see how prominent it is in the Holy Bible. It is first mentioned in Genesis 1:1-2, and from there we find it in every major division of the Bible.

 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2 NASB).  

The Spirit is the force that created the universe and all that is in it. We can no more live without it than we can live without air, food, or water. It is in us and around us all the time. We live and breathe because of the Holy Spirit of God.
