The Holy Spirit is a spiritual being with God who gives us understanding in all things.

Only by the Holy Spirit can we know that Almighty God is the Father and that Jesus Christ is His Son.
Study 06: Holy Spirit
John 14:15-18, and 25-26
Teaches us that the Holy Spirit is our “comforter” and teaches us all things. The Holy Spirit reveals to us truth, knowledge, and wisdom, and gives us understanding of God’s word. Jesus Christ knew that the apostles, disciples, and all of his followers would need this help after he returned to heaven.
John 7:39
After Jesus was crucified and resurrected, his followers received an abundance of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38-39
The baptism of Jesus Christ by water is for the remission of sins, and the person who is baptized receives more of the Holy Spirit.
Luke 11:9-13
You can receive the Holy Spirit when you pray to Almighty God through Jesus, and ask God for it. You can seek to obtain the Holy Spirit within you as you would search for hidden treasure. Be persistent in asking!
Proverbs 1:23
Change is part of learning. The more you change to align yourself with God and Jesus, the more help you get.
2 Peter 1:20-21
God’s prophets were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Bible verses. So, the writings of the Bible are God’s words, not man’s words. With the Holy Spirit in them, the followers of Almighty God and Jesus can properly discern the meaning and intent of the scriptures, and can request help and understanding at all times.
