The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Holy Trinity, is referred to in a rich variety of ways in the Scriptures. As we contemplate the various biblical titles and descriptions of the Holy Spirit, compiled by Deacon Keith Fournier, we'll be surprised at how much more insight we'll gain into who He is and what He does. I encourage you to meditate on these Scriptures in your prayer time and pray to the Holy Spirit using these various titles.

Do not cast me from your presence or take your HOLY SPIRIT from me (Psalm 51:11).
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised HOLY SPIRIT, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession - to the praise of his glory (Ephesians 1:13-14).
