Dr. Michael Heiser in his little booklet “Brief Insights on Mastering Bible Doctrine”
“It would be very odd for biblical writers to do this if they did not view the Spirit as a person. But that still doesn’t help us describe the Holy Spirit. In my years of teaching the Bible, I’ve heard a few attempts to describe the Spirit like this one: ‘an energy field created by all living things that surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds everything together.’
That seems to fit, at least a little. God and the Holy Spirit are omnipresent, so it’s fair to say that one, the other, or both could be simultaneously near and in everything and everyone. But science exposes a flaw in this definition. Energy is ‘the capacity of a physical system to perform work.’ Energy is part of our material world, so the Holy Spirit cannot be energy if he is somehow inextricably linked to God and Jesus. It’s just as well, since the description you read above is exactly how Obi-Wan, Kenobi defined the force in STAR WARS.
Not only is the Spirit connected to God and Jesus, but the Bible speaks of the Holy Spirit as an individual PERSON like the Father and the Son. For example, the Spirit is characterized as a being who acts with intentionality, can communicate, who posses and transmits knowledge, and who makes decisions. The Holy Spirit is also said to be affected by other persons, namely us. He can be grieved, stifled and resisted.
The takeaway for the believer is that if the Spirit is indeed a person, then by definition he takes a personal interest in us.”
