These inspired verses reveal that the Holy Spirit Himself will come to each of us to reprove us of our sins, and of the way of righteousness, and of the judgment soon to come.

Since the word of God has plainly stated that the Holy Spirit anoints, testifies or witnesses, leads, teaches, comforts, dwells with, strives, reproves and instructs God’s people, then the Holy Spirit can act for Himself.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.” John 16:13-15.

These inspired verses reveal that even though the Holy Spirit does not speak His own words, but the words of God and Christ, yet these do reveal that the Holy Spirit Himself speaks, guides, hears and shows others the truth, and it is not just the Father or Jesus who are doing these things as the Holy Spirit.

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

This inspired verse reveals that the Holy Spirit Himself gives messages to prophets and they declare: “Thus saith the Holy Ghost”, and their prophetic message was fulfilled (see Acts 21:27-36, 22:22-30).

Since the word of God has plainly stated that the Holy Spirit speaks, hears, guides, shows, chooses, and calls and sends forth others into the work, then clearly the Holy Spirit can speak for Himself, and it is not just the voice of the Father or Jesus speaking as the Holy Spirit.
