“Christ, our Mediator, and the Holy Spirit are constantly interceding in man’s behalf, but the Spirit pleads not for us as does Christ, Who presents His blood, shed from the foundation of the world; the Spirit works upon our hearts, drawing out prayers and penitence, praise and thanksgiving.  The gratitude which flows from our lips is the result of the Spirit’s striking the cords of the soul in holy memories, awakening the music of the heart.”  1SM:344.

 

“Sin could be resisted and overcome only through the mighty agency of the third Person of the Godhead, Who would come with no modified energy, but in the fullness of Divine power.  It is the Spirit that makes effectual what has been wrought out by the world’s Redeemer.”  DA:671.

 

“We need to realize that the Holy Spirit, Who is as much a Person as God is a Person, is walking through these grounds.”  EV:616. 

 

Commenting upon First Corinthians 2:11, we have this:  “The prince of the power of evil can only be held in check by the power of God in the third Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit.”  EV:617.

 

In commenting on Romans 8:16 we have this gem:  “The Holy Spirit has a personality, else He could not bear witness to our spirits and with our spirits that we are the children of God.  He must also be a Divine Person; else He could not search out the secrets which lie hidden in the mind of God.”  Manuscript 20, 1906; EV:617.

 

“. . . they [the Godhead] are One in purpose, in mind, in character, but not in Person.”  MH:422.
