About this ebook
This book is a direct result of a spiritual experience with the Holy Spirit. An experience that happened during morning meditation. It's not just the experience that was so exciting, but the revelation that was revealed directly by the Holy Spirit!
Over the next five months continual spiritual awakenings occurred to prompt learning from scripture that verified the experience and the revelation. Some of these awakenings showed how God the Father prepared a safety net for us using the Holy Spirit when we were born into this reality dominated by God's enemy.
The reflection of God's laws as they are mirrored in our own laws may be an interesting discovery as you compare the similarities. Join us on this journey of discovery and see the love of our Father as He assigned the Holy Spirit to help us while we are here.

The Mystery of the Holy Spirit Revealed - Ricky Manna
Foreword
I am no scholar, maybe not even that smart as evidenced by some of the decisions I have made, not to mention the grammatical error I just used. I understand that’s considered pretty normal and even qualifies me as a typical member of the human race. However, it seems God loves to use his lesser or even broken vessels to show His Glory. He even said, I will use fools to confound the wise.
NIV 1 Corinthians 1:27
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.
So I am pleased to stand in that line of what may be considered just a reasonably intelligent individual. But because I am in God’s constant company, I am content. Therefore, the world’s possible view of me matters not.
Perhaps God has spoken through you as He has with me, to inspire you to suggest to those who don’t know Him, that God is real and alive at this very moment, and even that He is available to us every moment of every day through the Holy Spirit.
I will also ask for your patience as I have italicized and emboldened words throughout this book in an effort to accent the intent or purpose of some words that follow.
For me, I have always found the "persons" of the Holy Trinity to be a mystery. It seems I am not alone in this consideration either. However, I have noticed some clues along the way.
One breadcrumb was the phrase:
The Family of God
Ephesians 2:19 Paul writes "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God and have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone.
Paul’s writing to the church at Ephesus says, "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named "(Ephesians 3:14, 15)
Another clue that was indicated above was:
The persons of the Holy Trinity.
Before I get to this clue scripturally, I want to present something I just learned this morning.
On August 27th of 1927, five Canadian women filed a petition to the Supreme Court of Canada asking: Does the word
persons" in section 24 of the British North America Act, 1867 include female persons?
The Supreme Court relented to recognize females being included in the term persons
and laws were enacted to enforce all rights to both men and women.
It seems that man’s law many times mirrors God’s law as it did when Jesus fulfilled prophecy and the offer of salvation.
The scripture that appears to reflect this act by these five Canadian women that has the word persons
to been seen as including female as it is in Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
While the developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the books that constitute the New Testament, it still contains a number of trinitarian formulas, including Matthew 28:19:
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 13:14:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
Apparently, these are three items, but there are actually three aspects of the one item or being.
Ephesians 4:4–6
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
And 1 Peter 1:2:
Who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: grace and peace be yours in abundance.

A white triangle with black text Description automatically generatedI believe the image portrays the mystery of the Trinity better than I could explain it, in that God is all three persons. One is not another one, He is all three and one, at the same time.
So, each person is God.
I personally see the Holy Trinity as the Family of God. The Father, the Son, and the Daughter (known as the Holy Spirit).
I was told by the Pastor of a church I work at that the word spirit
in Hebrew translates to female
. In Hebrew there is the feminine and masculine assignment to words, and spirit
is assigned feminine! When she told me this it was as if another piece of the puzzle (or mystery) fell into place. I know that the truth of God as a man, is actually a being beyond any physical representation of a human form, and that His reality is (far) beyond our comprehension. He is a being of spirit and absolute immense glory again far beyond anything we can imagine.
However, I believe He shows and allows us to imagine Him in human form to help us see Him as the same as we are. Perhaps so we can relate to Him better? Can you see yourself worshipping something that is seen as totally alien to our form? I think that would be a major obstacle for humans to consider. Even though His true form is that of a spiritual being, He and His family have been portrayed in a way to help us relate to Him and to demonstrate the family of God.
Personally, I find this very exciting as I come to understand, or perhaps comprehend, God just a little better. The mystery holds me back sometimes, but I believe it is only because it is beyond my understanding and comprehension of how a being can also be three other beings (and yet the same being) as shown previously.
The one part of this scripture (that we are made in His image) confused me was, how am I three beings?
After quite a while, it finally came to me. There are three separate distinct parts of me that make up my being and yet each of them are totally separate from me. First is my spirit. Second is my mind, and third is my body. Each are contained in my body and part of what makes me a whole person, yet they
