About the author
Fuchsia T. Pickett
23 books4 followers"A mother in Israel" thrust forth to the body of Christ for this transitional time."
In introducing Dr. Pickett many ministers have said: "We have a rare opportunity to hear a lady who is believed by many pastors to be one of the world's finest Bible teachers alive today. A number of the internationally-known ministers preaching today have been influenced by the ministry of Dr. Fuchsia Pickett. All who desire to hear a fresh revelation from the throne room of God will want to investigate her resource materials.
Many people have testified that their lives will never be the same after listening to the prophetic, highly anointed ministry of Sister Pickett. Her ministry is both national and international in scope. She has a special prophetic anointing in the are as of introducing the Holy Spirit, worship, revelation, leadership, Christian maturity, and revival.
A life time student of the Word, Dr. Pickett has three earned doctorates in theology, including a Doctor of Divinity degree. She is a native of Virginia, raised in North Carolina. Answering the Lord's call to minister the Word of God, she studied at John Wesley College and Virginia Bible College. She did undergraduate work at colleges in Virginia and North Carolina, and graduate work in Florida.
As an ordained Methodist minister, she moved in the Evangelical Methodist stream. In 1959, after becoming terminally ill, Dr. Pickett resigned her pastorate and spent much of the next year in hospitals. On April 12, 1959, she was carried into a church to attend a service she felt would be her last. God miraculously changed the course of her life that morning as He healed her and baptized her in the Holy Spirit. Her testimony is that the greatest thing that ever happened to her was when her "Teacher" came in the Person of the Holy Spirit to unveil the Christ in her and to her, Whom she had studied and taught about for so many years.
Following God's miraculous intervention, Dr. Pickett ministered for the next seven years as a conference evangelist and teacher. Most of her ministry was focused on the West Coast where wonderful revivals took place confirming God's tremendous anointing upon her ministry. In 1966 Dr. Pickett settled in Texas where she became affiliated with a large Bible college as head of the Bible Department, Academic Dean, Director of the College, and conference speaker.
In 1971, Dr. Pickett, with her husband, Leroy founded Fountain Gate Ministries. Fountain Gate was an Interdenominational Church whose ministries included Fountain Gate Church, Fountain Gate College, Little Lambs Preschool, Fountain Gate Christian Academy, a nation-wide Tape Lending Library, daily radio program, and weekly television ministry.
In the fall of 1988, Dr. Pickett answered the call of God and the Church to go to the body of Christ at large as a Mother-in-Israel. Sensing the mandate of God upon her life to travel and minister to pastors and leaders, she was thrust forth by God and her church into the harvest field. Having relocated in Tennessee, she and her husband, Leroy, are now based at Shekinah Ministries, Blountville, TN., and travel extensively.
Dr. Pickett is adjunct professor for Beacon Theological Seminary as well as being in great demand as a conference speaker. She is fulfilling the call to help leaders and churches during this transitional period to prepare the Church to enter into her inheritance.

"Anyone who knows God the Father and God the Son without having a true understanding of God the Holy Spirit has not attained the Christian conception of God, nor has he [she] come to the fullness of Christian experience." (Fuchsia T. Pickett, Understanding the Personality of the Holy Spirit)
This is the first book that I have ever read by this author. I am always interested in getting more knowledge on the Person of the Holy Spirit and have a desire to have a more intimate relationship with Him, so I gave this book a shot.
Before I begin a book, I usually scan the table of contents and that was no different with this book. At first, I was a little off-put by some of the names of the chapters and wondering if I was going to be exposed to some bad teaching. Here are the chapters in this book on Understanding the Personality of the Holy Spirit:
1. Relationship with a Divine Personality
2. Emotional Responses of the Holy Spirit
3. Emblems Reveal the Holy Spirit's Character
4. Sevenfold Power of the Holy Spirit. The Omnipotence of God Revealed
5. Seven Moods of the Holy Spirit, Part II God's Desire for Mankind Realized
I think what put me off (which later I repented and changed my mind about) was when the author talks about the emotional responses and moods of the Holy Spirit, but then it started to click for me as I read further: The Holy Spirit does have emotional responses and moods. Moods here are not defined by what most of us think when we think of moods i.e. like your spouse being in a bad mood! The author says, "When we discuss the moods of the Holy Spirit, we are describing a frame of mind He uses to express Himself to reveal His divine purpose for a particular situation. The Holy Spirit responds differently to different kinds of situations, though in each situation His ultimate purpose is to reveal Jesus and to fulfill the Father's eternal plan for mankind. For example, at times He will come in a convicting mood to convince men of sin. He expresses a compassionate mood when He comes as the Comforter to someone who is suffering grief."
In respect to the Holy Spirit's emotional responses, the author says that the Holy Spirit has both negative and positive responses and then goes into great detail about each of these responses. Some of them expounded upon are:
Negative Responses
- Grieved
- Vexed
- Offended
- Quenched
- Lied to
- Defrauded
- Resisted
- Blasphemed
Positive Responses
- Obeyed
- Believed
- Honored
The author teaches that Holy Spirit has definite emotional responses, but the greatest of these responses is love. He is the Spirit of Love. She says, "The Holy Spirit is a Person who has definite emotional responses, as clearly described in the Scriptures. He is God, and God is love (1 John 4:8). There is no stronger emotion than love. The strength of God's love is most clearly revealed in His willingness to undergo extreme suffering to rescue the object of His love: mankind."
This was an interested take on the Holy Spirit that you probably will not find elsewhere. You start to see the Holy Spirit as more of a Person as you read this book and the power He gives you to live an overcoming life. The author has written some more books on the Holy Spirit that I am going to read next. Some of them are: Presenting the Holy Spirit, Walking In The Anointing...: Holy Spirit's Work in You, Receiving Divine Revelation: Invite the Holy Spirit to teach and guide you through scripture, Cultivating the Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Some interesting insights on the Person of the Holy Spirit!

Understanding the personality of the Holy Spirit is both a practical as well as an inspirational book that will help readers to approach the Holy Spirit on a personal level. Fuchsia Pickett uses many scriptures to make her point!
