In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit is frequently referred to as "the spirit of the LORD" (KJV). Examples include: 1 Samuel 16:13- Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. 2 Samuel 23:2 -The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. Isaiah 11:2 - And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; Isaiah 61:1 -The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;Micah 3:8 - But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

There have been so many teachings about the Holy Ghost that people are confused about exactly what it is. There are many references to "Holy Spirit" in both the Old Testament and the New Testament and it is not crystal clear if all the references are the same spirit. This is one teaching of the church that is not absolutely, beyond doubt, perfectly clear. the holy spirit is part of the trinity. god, jesus, holy spirit. the holy spirit speaks to you telling you how to live your life and helps you through things supporting the right decisions
