Today many are teaching a violent Jesus, and money hungry $$$ Jesus $$$. On stage they insult, slap, hit and push Christians around and tell the audiences the Holy Spirit says so…

So what does Scripture say about the nature of the Holy Spirit…

In the words of Let Us Reason Ministries

Jesus said In John 14:16 he would ask the Father to send another comforter (Greek- Allos paracletos) which means another of the same kind, (a person). Here the Lord calls him our helper, the comforter one that comes alongside, he will be in the Christian, as well as with them. His ministry is to do what Jesus did when he was here physically but mainly from the inside of us. Instead of Jesus being here in the flesh, the invisible Spirit is. So the Holy Spirit would have the same nature of Jesus.

Now we need to ask, what was Jesus like? Matthew 11:29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." The Jesus of scripture is Gentle, humble, meek.

The Nature and Behaviour of Christian Leaders

Additionally the New Testament is quite clear about the character and behaviour of a Christian, especially the leadership. In his instructions to Timothy regarding the qualifications of a bishop, Paul says [Emphasis Added]

1Timothy 2:2: for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

1 Timothy 3:2-3 The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;

1 Timothy: 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

The Nature and Behaviour of all Christians

Scripture uses the words gentle, peaceable and meek quite often.

Galatians 5:22 tells us “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness (gentleness), temperance: against such there is no law”

Ephesians 4:30-32 says "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you."

1Thessalonians 2:7 "But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

Titus 3:2 "... speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.

James 3:17 "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."
