John 7:38-39 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Filled = Controlled
i.e. A gas tank is filled but not controlled
A car is controlled but not filled
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
We have a BODY, SOUL and SPIRIT and though many think soul and spirit are one, the scripture teaches otherwise.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
God says Spirit, Soul, Body - Man says Body, Soul, SpiritGalatians 5:18-25 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost – Matthew 28:19
The Bible never uses the word “Trinity”. Webster’s New World Dictionary defines “Trinity” as – a set of three, the union of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in one Godhead.
The Scriptures however refers to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as the Godhead:
Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:9.
The Scriptures also never refer to the Father the Son and the Holy Sprit as “gods”. When “gods” is used it refers to idols or pagan pantheons. It is extremely significant that the Hebrew adjective of singularity (one) is used with the plural noun Elohim (God).
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord. – Deuteronomy 6:4
I and my Father are one. – John 10:30
The three personalities of the Godhead are however defined throughout the Bible:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. –
2 Corinthians 13:14
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in the hope of your calling; One Lord, one Faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. – Ephesians 4:4-6
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is me beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. –
Matthew 3: 16-17
