Romans 14:17. for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

NKJV Scholastic Commentary: The kingdom of God does not consist of external things like food, but in spiritual realities like righteousness in action and thought, peace that seeks harmony, and joy that comes from the Holy Spirit. Those who understand the spiritual realities of the kingdom will not choose the brief joy of satisfying selfish desires over the spiritual joy of putting aside those desires for the sake of others.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

NKJV Scholastic Commentary: Neither sees Him nor knows Him does not mean merely that the world is not able to visually identify the Holy Spirit because He is spirit. Something more is meant: The Spirit of God is active in the world, but His acts go unnoticed by the world (see 1 Cor. 2:14).

Not only is the world as a whole unable to visually identify the Holy Spirit, His acts go unnoticed as well.

1 John 4:13. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us His Spirit.

NKJV Scholastic Commentary: By this looks forward to the evidence of His Spirit rather than back to the evidence of love (vv.7-11) for the proof that we abide in Him, and He in us (3:24). Mutual abiding refers to the fellowship we have with God as a result of our salvation. The evidence that God abides in us and we in Him is the experience of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. In the remainder of this passage (vv.12-16), John explains how a believer can know that the Spirit is working in his or her life (vv.15, 16).

On Spiritual Tunnels

2 KINGS 2:1 And when it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind,...

Elijah would have traveled through a spiritual whirlwind (tunnel) on his way to heaven. I believe these tunnels are the work of the Holy Spirit and that the Lord does this through Him.

Here is a picture of a physical whirlwind:



2 KINGS 2:11 ...Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Cool! Thank you for sharing.

I have had the Spirit of God appear as a fog or cloud. I know it was Him as the peace was amazing and I felt Him there calling me to be with Him.

Psalm 34:15. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.

Revelation 22:17. And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

NKJV Scholastic Commentary: This invitation by the Spirit remains open to anyone who will come by faith to Christ to accept the LORD's gracious offer of eternal life.

The Holy Spirit has a living memory and it is absolutely perfect!

Imagine the painting below being a painting of the Holy Spirit's memory of a time when Jesus was in body and praying to the Father.



The memory would be a living spirit identical to Jesus at that time with all His thoughts, feelings, personality, and powers. It would be an exact copy of Him at that time.

One of the powers that God has brought into the spirit world is the power of teleportation. This is done through the Holy Spirit's memory. A spirit at point A goes into nothingness. And is recreated from memory at point B by the Holy Spirit.

This is merely a glimpse at how perfect the Holy Spirit is.
