The Holy Spirit is always in Believers, but there are times we may "feel" as if it's not there, and other times, its presence is so strong we can't deny it. How have you experienced the latter?
For instance, were you ever hurting, sad, or afraid, and the Holy Spirit comforted you instantly where all you could do was smile? Or were you ever in a terrifying situation, and instantly you felt courageous and unafraid?
The video below describes how I've experienced the Holy Spirit.
It's not uncontrolled or visually dramatic. I don't fall out with arms and legs swinging, or screaming. It's very gentle, comforting, and present. But others may have a different experience.

When I read responses which say the Holy Spirit is non-existent, those make me smile most of all. If only Unbelievers knew!! If only you knew. Well, that's in God's hands. :)

Gottabedifferent, I've felt the correction of the Holy Spirit as well. I agree He can be very firm when correcting, but it's done with love. :)

For those who don't believe in the Holy Spirit, it is real. God sent the Holy Spirit in place of His son Jesus when he died on the cross for our sins. (Father - Son - Holy Spirit) Some don't get the three in one thing. The way I see it is I'm a Mother, daughter, sister, friend, wife and so much more. So if I can be all those things and be 1 person God can be three in one.
God the Father did everything from the Heavens until He decided that people needed physical evidence that He was real so He created Jesus.. Still God but in human form. When He decided that His time on earth in human form was up He took Jesus to Heaven. Then He created the Holy Spirit for us to communicate to Him. The Holy Spirit does comfort us in our time of need and is the small tiny voice that tells you that the things your thinking of doing that are wrong is wrong. And helps give you courage to do the things you have to do everyday. Without the Holy Spirit we wouldn't have a conscience.
Hope this helps..
If you don't believe in the Holy Spirit that is your choice to make. I wish you all the best.

Hey, that is an awesome video...thanks for sharing it. Most of the time the garbage posted on here isn't worth viewing.
That is just how I view and experience the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. Every time I open the Bible, as these young people in the video, Jesus is there speaking to us through the Holy Spirit. He is called the Comforter in the Bible and that's just what He does. It has nothing to do with the confusion and bedlam of charismatic speaking in tongues and all the shaking and yelling and dancing and stuff. God is not the author of confusion the Scriptures tell us. If you would like to learn more about the Holy Spirit and real Bible truth check out www.bibleuniverse.com and God bless in your walk with Him!

hi my chum. lengthy time period no see. first of all, I examine the first individual answer and had to chortle. This guy is preferable you down the incorrect course. the in trouble-free words thanks to understand God plan on your existence, you ought to have a non secular connection and with out the Holy Spirit recent, than all you've is your opinion and your human being information which could no longer line up with God. So everybody who says you aren't from now on assume in order to sense the Holy Spirit lack real information of the relationship that God needs between us. those human beings are very risky because they get their religious education from their self dependent ego. no longer from the Holy spirit. How can God use you if there is no communique. And yet another element, everybody who allow you to recognize that you ought to easily base your concept on faith is from the devil. God would not artwork that way. He not in any respect has and he not in any respect will.

The Holy Spirit has taken over my conversation with His words.
The Holy Spirit let me sleep through my daughters pancreas and kidney transplant after missing many hours of sleep without worry.
There are more - He is the great comforter and teacher.

Awesome video! You captured exactly how I have felt on many occasions. God indeed is here! We may at times feel disconnected from Him and have to force ourselves to get on our knees, but He is there ready and willing to cover us with His grace and mercy. For those who are non believers , I truly hope one day you will accept His incredible and eternal gift of love.
It is rather nice to be loved like that inspite of all our faults.

There is no Holy Spirit. It doesn't exist.
I'll bet the rest of the answer describe feelings and emotions, because there is nothing real about it.

My cat smiles a lot too, but I don't think she knows anything that I don't.
