IMAGERY OF THE SPIRIT To many, the Holy Spirit is strange, mysterious or nothing more than a vague influence. Yet the Holy Spirit is the one who loves to relate to us, who purifies us and makes us effective in our spiritual lives. This issue looks at the imagery of the Spirit found in the Bible – such as wind, fire, rain, the dove – which highlight different aspects of the Spirit’s work. By discovering more about His ministry, we are encouraged to welcome Him and experience in far greater measure the reality of His presence.
