Originally posted by @jacob-vervilleI’ve heard many explaination, similes, metaphors and idioms describing the godhead, but I think that saying “we cannot fully comprehend God” and that trying to do so is like “putting the sea into a single bucket”, has to be the least effective, least evocative and least scriptural attempt to describe either God, the trinity or the holy spirit that I’ve ever come across.
I think St. Augustine properly summed up the Trinity, though, by saying that we cannot fully comprehend God. It's like trying to put the sea into a single bucket. You can't do it. So, the Holy Spirit is incomprehensible to us and we cannot be certain of what it entials fully.
"But to us God has revealed them through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (1 Cor. 2:10)

I was prayreading this morning [b]First Corinthians. And I was confirmed that the Holy Spirit is more than just an impersonal force. Galveston will try hard to teach that.
But as in so very many verses, "Person" is more applicable for the nature of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit "searches", as a "Person" the depths of God.
[quote] [b ...[text shortened]... e or energy does not search.
The Person of the Spirit searches the depths of the Person of God.[/b]

What does that mean? Was God talking to you?

It is normal to have the speaking of God for a Christian.

" Lord Jesus, I have no word from You. I don't know what God wants to say to me. Lord Jesus, give me one word. I ask for just one word from You this week. Show me O Lord. Show me if there is something wrong with my heart that I cannot hear You. Thankyou Lord Jesus. I love You."

If I come to you saying God spoke this or that to sonship and it flatly contradicts the word of God in the Bible, don't believe me.
God certainly speaks to the believer in Jesus Christ.
