The ministry of the Holy Spirit As the New Testament is read, it is easy to see the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The early church had confidence in the Holy Spirit and exhibited confidence in its leadership. This confidence grew out of the church’s daily experience, direction and blessing from God by means of the Holy Spirit.

What are the gifts of the Spirit ? Every Christian has the guidance of the Spirit of God. Jesus said He was sending the Holy Spirit to help us. (John 14:16) The word that He used, Paraclete, has a meaning of a friend, Helper, Advocate, the One called alongside. This word implies that the Holy Spirit walks beside you. The Holy Spirit has His arm around you to keep you for falling. The Holy Spirit gives you guidance and intercedes for you to the Father in your behalf.

Although the Holy Spirit descended upon me with shining wings and glory, I don't believe He is some kind of a dove. Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Jesus when Jesus stepped out of Jordan river.
Not as a dove, but like a dove is descending.
"And after being baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him:" (Matthew 3:16)
