The Holy Spirit in the Bible

The Holy Spirit in the Bible 

Holy Spirit grants strength and wisdom to leaders:


Isaiah 11:1-5 


1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.


2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD—


3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;


4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.


5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.


Isaiah 42:1-4 


1 “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.


2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.


3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;


4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope.”


Holy Spirit gives skills


Exodus 31:1-11 


1 Then the LORD said to Moses, 


2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 


3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts— 


4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 


5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. 


6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you: 


7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— 


8 the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense,


9 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand— 


10 and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 


11 and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”


Haggai 2:5 


‘This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.’


Zechariah 4:6 


So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
