The Holy Spirit

This thread has been revised and updated.
To understand the Holy Spirit, we must consult scripture. I will be using both the old and new testaments.
2 Corinthians 4:18. while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
The eyes of the Spirit of Truth are upon us.
1 John 5:6 And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
The Holy Spirit also bears witness to our consciousness.
Romans 9:1. I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit.
It is through the Spirit that the Father and Jesus hear our cries.
Romans 8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning's which cannot be uttered.
God demonstrates His presence here on earth through the eyes of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 16:9. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
The Holy Spirit glorifies Christ
The Spirit of truth bears witness to the indwelt Spirit of Christ in the Christian.
The Spirit of truth glorifies Christ by bearing witness that we belong to Christ and declaring this to the Apostles who sit on the thrones of judgment at the time of regeneration so that we are not judged and may stay with the Father.
Jesus said to the Apostles -
John 16:13. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
This is one way Christ builds His kingdom through the Holy Spirit who is here on earth.
Romans 8:16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
