It is a typical scenario across the Body of Christ that multitudes of believers know God but very few are intimately acquainted with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. He is a person just like Jesus Christ and God the father. He does not have a physical body of flesh and bones like Christ but He does have a spirit body.
