Holy Spirit in 1 and 2 Thessalonians

Neither Hebrews nor James has an argument like Galatians 3-4 or Romans 8. The “indwelling” is not emphasized in argumentation before Acts 10. It is not found in the epistles to the “Hebrews.”

The Holy Spirit is the one who is credited with revealing the truth of the mystery to man (1 Corinthians 2:8ff). So it is in this sense that through the Holy Spirit the unification of all man in one body is called the “unity of the Spirit” (Ephesians 4:3).

A survey of the more than two dozen passages in written prophets of the Old Testament (Isaiah-Malachi) which refer to the Holy Spirit will show that those later prophets of Israel used the same language and their words carried the same meaning as did the words and meaning of those prophets contained in the earlier writings of the Old Testament.

As has been shown, the Holy Spirit provides prophetic revelation and abilities to man. As one should expect then, the function of evil spirits is to remove prophetic insight and allow lies to be believed and evil actions to prevail. Below is a list of verses relating to this discussion.
