The Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of the Godhead. Our fellowship is with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit plays many roles in our life. He’s our Comforter, Teacher, Guide and more. The Greek word Koinonia is used in reference to our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Communion of the Spirit is intimate conversation with the Holy Spirit. Fellowship of the Spirit is partnership with the Spirit. And Distribution of the Spirit is the gifts of the Spirit. These are the three levels of your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Most Christian are experiencing the distribution of the Spirit through operating in the gifts of the Spirit. This is the outer court. There are those who have gone deeper into the inner court or holy place with the Holy Spirit in fellowship, partnering with him for work. Very few are having communion, intimate conversations with the Holy Spirit. This is the holy of holies. To know the Holy Spirit one must engage in communion and have intimate conversation with Him.
The Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of the Godhead.
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Our fellowship is with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Praiser

Intercessor
Rom. 8:26 26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Mortifier
Rom. 8:13 13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Quickener or Reviver or One who makes alive
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Revealer
1 Cor. 2:9 9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
