Roles of the Holy Spirit
Fruit of the Holy Spirit
Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Do NOT get  bogged down in your mind trying to comprehend. 
Just allow the Holy Spirit to minister His truths to your own spirit .

God functions or manifests Himself in may ways: as the Trinity (Dad, Son, Holy Spirit), lover, husband, judge, etc.  His/the Holy Spirit operates in 7 significant ways, according to scripture and according to Todd Bentley in The Reality of the Supernatural World chapter 9 The Seven Spirits of Godwww.soundoffire.com According to Bentley, the 7 Spirits are 7 mantles/personalities/attributes rather than 9 gifts.  The 7 Spirits/mantles/personalities/persons/individuals rested and remained on Jesus during His earthly ministry (see Revelation 1:4-5 below); whereas our 9 tangible gifts/anointings of the Holy Spirit come down and go up as the need arises. 
In Revelation 1:4 the 7 Spirits exist in front of God's throne.  A capital S in the word Spirit indicates a personage as well as part of the Godhead, whereas a lower case s in the word spirit indicates a thing. 
In Proverbs 4 some of the 7 Spirits present themselves as a female (a she).
The 9 gifts of the spirit are things not persons. The 9 temporary gifts we do not take to heaven with us.  Only the fruit of our work will be noticed by God at the end of our life, not the gifts Benny Hinn says that the most his healing anointing lasts is 5 hours.  Then it lifts off, back up to heaven.  It is His/God's work, not ours/Benny's!
Todd Bentley cites 4 types of Holy Spirit power: dunamis, ischus, kratos, and exousia (delegated authority).

GIFTS of the Holy Spirit

Old Testament Scripture

Exodus 35:30-35 TNAB    30Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31and has filled him with a Divine Spirit of Skill, Understanding, and Knowledge in every craft: 32in the production of embroidery, in making thing of gold, silver or brinze, 33in cutting and mounting precious stones, in carving wood, and in every other craft.  34He has also given both him and Oholiab, son of Alisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.  35He has endowed them with skill to execute all types of work: engraving, embroidering, the making of variegated cloth of  violet, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen thread,  weaving, and all other arts and crafts.
Exodus 36:1 TNAB    1Bezalel, therefore, will set to work with Oholiab and with all the experts whom the Lord has endowed with skill and understanding in knowing how to execute all the work for the service of the sanctuary, just as the Lord has commanded,"  2Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other experts whom the Lord had endowed with skill, men whose hearts moved them to come and take part in the work.
Exodus 38:22-23 TNAB    22It was Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the  tribe of Judah, who made all that the Lord commanded Moses, 23and he was assisted by Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, who  was an engraver, embroiderer, weaver of variegated cloth of  violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen. (Let us pray for the Divine Spirit of Skill to instruct those we love!  Let us not only ask, but also receive on their behalf, from the heavenly storehouses!  Yes, thank You, thank You, thank You, Holy Trinity.)

New Testament Scripture

1st Corinthians 12:4-11 TNAB    4There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit; 5there are different forms of service but the same Lord; 6there are different workings but the same God Who produces all of them in everyone.  7To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.  8To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom;
to another the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit;
9to another faith by the same Spirit;
to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit;
10to another mighty deeds;
to another varieties of tongues;
to another interpretation of tongues.
11One and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as He wishes.

Chapter 12 TheTransfer of Revelatory Anointing
provides a prayer from Bentley to readers and from readers to God.  The personal prayer contains some of the following, "Father (God) let me see into the...realm You live in...I want this anointing transferred onto my life...I don't want to wait until I die to see Your lovely face.  I believe."  Bentley also shares numerous tantalizing testimonies of transferred anointing due to hands being laid on for impartation and activation of our spiritual senses.  Your spiritual eyes will be opened, because God is personally speaking/tutoring/mentoring individuals.

Cho, David Yonggi                The Holy Spirit My Senior Partner   www.charismahouse.com publisher
Subtitle Understanding the Holy Spirit & His Gifts - including author's personal testimony
Introduction.  "The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, 'If you want your church to grow, you must develop a greater communion and fellowship with Me.  Don't preach about the Holy Spirit as an experience only.  He is an awesome person!   Preach about the person.  Develop a communion and fellowship by waiting in My presence after prayer.  I want to talk to you also'...Since my conversion, I would say meeting the Holy Spirit and learning to know Him in an intimate way has been the greatest experience of my life.  My senior partner and I...fellowship every day!"
Benny Hinn has a book Good Morning Holy Spirit.  Likewise, David Cho says, "Hello" and "Goodnight" each day to God's Holy Spirit, his senior partner in life and in business.
Chapter 2 WHO Is the Holy Spirit shares that each person of the Trinity (Father God, Jesus Son, Holy Spirit) has its own personality, acting individually as would a human with its own mind, thoughts, voice, emotions, feelings, aspirations, etc.
Chapter 3 NAMES and SYMBOLS of the Holy Spirit 
"Each name has to do with a particular office" (function/role/purpose)"
1-"It's by the Spirit of holiness that we can distinguish the spirit that belongs to God from the spirit that belongs to Satan."
2-"It is appropriate that the Holy Spirit be called the Spirit of God, as the spirit is sent by God."
3-"The Spirit of Christ is the same as the Holy Spirit" Who comes when when we are born again and "when we are baptized by the Holy Spirit." (Refer to book for clarification!)
"It seems evident that Jesus considered Himself the1st Comforter, because He describes the Holy Spirit, Who would take His place and work in His name, as 'another' Comforter...Although the Holy Spirit is a different person from Jesus, He is the same kind of Comforter, of the same divine nature and with the same purpose as Jesus.  He glorifies the name of Jesus, instead of Himself, and works in the place of Jesus."
Symbols/metaphors also illustrate/illuminate the Holy Spirit's nature/personality/purposes.
The Chinese place great significance upon water, fire and wind.
1-In John 3:5-6 NIV Jesus answered, "
I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water (baptism + God's Word/Jesus Christ) and the (Holy) Spirit.  Flesh gives birth to flesh but the Spirit gives birth to spirit."  
Cho explains that we need to continuously drink/consume/thirst after the Holy Spirit. 
Additionally we need the Holy Spirit to expose/shower/wash away our sins.
John 13:8 NIV  Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me."
John 15:3 KJV "Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you."
Ephesians 5:26 KJV He might sanctify and cleanse it (the church) with the washing of water by the Word.
2- Matthew 3:11 NIV  "I (John the baptizer) baptize you with
water for repentance (spiritual regeneration); but after me will come One Who is more powerful than I.  He will baptize you with the (fullness of the) Holy Spirit and with fire (power/ audacity/vitality/boldness)."
3-"Literally translated the Holy Spirit is the 'Holy Wind.'"
1st Samuel 16:13 "Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him (with oil) in the midst of his brethren; the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward."
"Anointed (things,) places and persons are holy, set apart unto God."
4-James 5:7 "Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord...until he receive the early and latter rain."
"In Palestine farmers expect rain twice during each growing season.  The first rain falls in late autumn and is called the 'early rain'...When springtime returns...the rain falls again...The Palestinian farmers call this springtime rain the 'latter rain.'"
5-John 1:32  "John bare record, saying, 'I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and it abode upon Him.'"
6-Ephesians 5:18 "Be not drunk with wine, wherein its excess, but be filled with the Spirit."  God's "wine is that it gives unusual oldness that causes people to take arrogant, wild , unrestrained actions" for Him.
7-Ephesians 1:13 "After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise."  "If anyone dares oppose or injure the anointed people of God, that person infringes on the ownership of  God and brings God's wrath upon himself."
8-2nd Corinthians 1:22 KJV " God, Who hath also sealed us and given the
earnest (down payment/money/surety/guarantee/ security/collateral) of the Spirit in our hearts."
Chapter 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit
1-revelation gifts  a. wisdom                 b. knowledge                  c. spirit discernment
2-vocal gifts        a. tongues                  b. tongues interpretation  c. prophecy 
3-power gifts      a. faith (boldness)         b. healing                        c. miracles
"The Holy Spirit, Who occupies man and fills him, uses that person and manifests the gifts through him according to His own will, time and situation."
ALWAYS  humble oneself "continually before the presence of God;" dedicate oneself  "as a pure vessel;"
and lastly "wait for the Holy Spirit to manifest the gifts through" oneself , "at a time and place He chooses."
"One thing that makes me tremble with carefulness is the thought that I might resist the Holy Spirit or that when He does move through me - to manifest the many gifts to edify His church - I might be misunderstood to be speaking on my own."
The Holy Spirit is easily grieved and will cease operating through those who use His "gifts as if the Holy Spirit were a personal servant."
"We discern the spirits by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, judging whether the spirit is from God, or if someone is speaking by the spirit of man, or by the spirit of Satan."
1st John 4:1 KJV
  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits (to see) whether they are of God.

Part 2 Chapter 13 More Scriptural Purposes for Speaking in Other Tongues  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.  1st Corinthians 13:1
"Paul was saying in essence, 'You have spiritual gifts (from the Holy Spirit), but the (Holy Spirit) gifts are for power, (whereas) the (9) fruit (of the recreated human spirit) is for holiness and character.'"
"Spiritual babes can have spiritual gifts."
Part 3 Chapter 14 Five Common Misconceptions about Speaking in Tongues 
"In 1st Corinthians 12:1-11 he's (Paul is) talking about ministry gifts NOT  gifts of the Spirit.  Ministry gifts are people who are called to the 5 fold ministry and equipped with the gifts of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:11-12).  For example, an apostle is a ministry gift.  A prophet is a ministry gift.  Evangelists, pastors, and teachers are ministry gifts" to bless others.  In 1st Corinthians 12:28 Paul in citing "'miracles, then gifts of healings' is really referring to the office of the evangelist...Finally Paul mentions another ministry - (public) diversities of tongues (using tongues with the gift of interpretation and of knowledge) (not to be confused with speaking in tongues as evidence of the Holy Spirit baptism nor confused with the daily speaking in tongues for personal spiritual purposes)."

Walters, Kathie    Parenting by the Holy Spirit    booklet    www.goodnews.netministries.org
Chapter 9 The Gifts of the Spirit - for Parents  "As  the Holy Spirit knows all things, it is very important  that we keep tuned in to Him.  The gifts of the spirit are really just manifestations of our 'tuning in.'  A 'word of knowledge' as mentioned in 1st Corinthians 12 means that the Holy Spirit imparts to you His knowledge about someone or a situation that you could not know with the natural mind.

Hinn, Benny               Toronto Training for Ministry        CD set         www.bennyhinn.com
8/2006 TV  presentation of Toronto, Canada training for ministry (and impartation/commissioning) -
Excellent teaching on the difference between the Presence and the Power of God. 
Hinn explains that God's Presence is/shows His attributes/glory/justice/name/nature/heart, whereas God's Power is/shows His acts.  It is His presence which changes/converts the heart and not necessarily His power or anointing.  His anointing comes and goes.  It does not stay overnight (for an extended period).  It is a visitor, not a tenant.  When the Holy Spirit comes ON someone, He visits and brings gifts, but He does not move in.  This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit with His 9 gifts.  He gets an earthly job done (to teach, minister, preach, heal, raise the dead, etc.).  These spiritual gifts do not go to heaven with us.  We are not judged on the gift.  Rather, we are judged on the fruit. (For instance, if our boss gives us a car to use to get our job done, we have to return the car when we leave the job.  Our next employer would not rate us on the car, but on our accomplishments.) 
However when the Holy Spirit is IN you, He is there permanently.  It is a part of Him, a foretaste, an engagement ring, a betrothal, your salvation, your key to heaven's door, your wedding invitation.

Brown, Tom    http://www.tbm.org/bellsare.htm "The High priest wore a robe with pomegranates wrapped around the hem of his garment. In between the pomegranates were bells of pure gold that made noise whenever the priest moved. These bells alternated with the pomegranates. This robe speaks of the Holy Spirit, and the pomegranates symbolizes the fruit of the Spirit while the bells represents the gifts of the Spirit. The priest was to wear both the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit. (see Exodus 39:22-26)."  (Recognize this when you hear the bells ring during a Catholic mass.)...
Paul...wrote, 'If I speak in tongues [have the gifts] but have not love [the fruit] then I am only a making noise.' He is saying that being a priest means for you to be clothed with both the fruit and gifts of the Spirit.
Now what does this have to do with the apparent (scarcity of the visible operation of the Holy Spirit)  disappearance of the gifts of the Spirit from the Church until recently when the gifts were restored at the beginning of the last century...Why did the gifts disappear (seem to be in hibernation) during the 4th century up until the beginning of this century?...
Jesus is our High Priest, and He wore the garments of the fruit and gifts of the Spirit...
When Jesus ascended to carry on the work of High Priest, He could be heard through the bells. In other words, the way Christ makes Himself known is through the gifts of the Spirit...
Go back to the foreshadowing of Christ’ priestly ministry. The Old Testament High Priest would sacrifice the lamb and carry its blood into the temple. The temple contains 2 rooms: one was the called the Holy Place and the other was called the Most Holy Place. He would go behind close doors and minister before the Lord in the 1st room. The only way the people outside knew that everything was all right was by the bells they heard. As long as the bells were heard, they knew the priest was alive and still ministering,
However, the scary moment occurred when the priest would enter the 2nd room called the Most Holy Place. This place was a little room behind a very thick curtain. When the priest went into that room, the thick curtain absorbed the sound of the bells, so that the bells could not be heard anymore, even though the priest was alive. Everyone would hold their breath.
'Was the priest still alive and ministering in our behalf before the Lord, or was he dead?'
They all simply waited until he would come out again. After he finished his work the priest would leave the Most Holy Place and be back into the 1st room where the people could hear the bells again. This let them know that the priest was alive and was almost finished his job. It was only a matter of a few minutes before the priest would make his exit from the temple to be seen by the people.
How did the disciples know for sure that Christ was indeed alive at God’s right hand? Simply because they could experience the gifts of the Spirit. The gifts were simply the noise of the bells that Christ made in heaven. This let all the people know that Christ was alive and ministering before the Lord in our behalf.
However, just as the earthly priest went behind the curtain into the Most Holy Place, so also Christ would enter the Most Holy Place where the bells could be heard no more, at least until He was ready to come out from the Temple. So for nearly 1,500 years (4th century to the 18 century) Christ’ bells (the gifts) could not be heard. So by faith Christians believed that Christ was indeed alive and ministering in our behalf as High Priest, though they had no supernatural manifestations to prove it, except for an occasional miracle.
But something has happened in this century. In 1906, a small group of hungry believers in Azusa, California experienced the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. People around the world flocked to that little mission to receive the baptism of the Spirit, and hundreds of thousands did. Since then, hundreds of millions of believers world-wide have received the baptism in the Spirit with the manifestations of the Spirit. This movement known as "Pentecostalism" and sometimes termed 'charismatic' has been the fastest growing religious movement in the world.
A little more than a century ago, you could not find 10 people who spoke in tongues. Now, you find them all over the place. More and more believers are being baptized in the Holy Spirit than ever before. What is happening?
Could it be that our High Priest, Jesus, has made His exit from the Most Holy Place so that the bells can be heard again? And in just a short time, He will make His exit from the Temple to be seen by all.
I believe this fresh, new outpouring of the Spirit is the final sign of the return of Jesus Christ...
The final sign was this: 'And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.' (Matt 24:14). The last sign is a world-wide, miracle revival. Notice, He said that this gospel would be preached as a (with) 'testimony' or 'witness'. A testimony or witness is proof with undeniable evidence. Jesus said, 'You will be my witnesses when the Holy Spirit comes on you.' Another way of saying it is, 'You will have supernatural proof that I’m alive when the Holy Spirit comes on you.' The supernatural proof is the gifts of the Spirit (in full demonstration before unbelievers)." [In other words, many will both witness and experience Godly supernatural miracles, wonders, healings, deliverances, resurrections, and/or provisions due to the operation of Jesus in individuals (including children) who have been baptized in the Holy Spirit.]

, Paul L                            Yada and the Gift of Discernment                  
www.aslansplace.com
http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word_pf.html?ID=3646
"In Hebrew thought, each letter of the alphabet has a meaning, and each letter even has a numerical value. ...Opinions vary widely on the correct way to transliterate, but the context is always of utmost importance.
Yada is used 944 times in the Bible. It is a root word used in every stem, and it expresses a multitude of shades of knowledge gained by the senses (see Hebrews 5:14). Its closest synonyms are 'to discern' and 'to recognize.' ...Strong's concordance includes knowledge at all levels, including the senses. Baker's Evangelical Dictionary states that yada is...'to apprehend and experience reality. Knowledge is not the possession of information but rather, its exercise or actualization'...
Understanding that Yada has to do with knowing through the 5 physical senses (common in the SEER and prophetic gifts)...The Lord desires that we know Him, not only intellectually but also with our physical senses."

"
38. 'And it is not fitting to boast at the casting forth of the demons, nor to be uplifted by the healing of diseases: nor is it fitting that he who casts out devils should alone be highly esteemed, while he who casts them not out should be considered nought. But let a man learn the discipline of each one and either imitate, rival, or correct it. For the working of signs is not ours but the Saviour's work: and so He said to His disciples: 'Rejoice not that the demons are subject to you, but that your names are written in the heavens [18].' For the fact that our names are written in heaven is a proof of our virtuous life, but to cast out demons is a favor of the Savior who granted it. Wherefore to those who boasted in signs but not in virtue, and said: 'Lord, in Thy name did we not cast out demons, and in Thy name did many mighty works [19]?' He answered, 'Verily I say unto you, I know you not;' for the Lord knoweth not the ways of the wicked. But we ought always to pray, as I said above, that we may receive the gift of discerning spirits; that, as it is written [20], we may not believe every spirit."
"
62. And concerning those who came to him, he often foretold some days or sometimes a month beforehand what was the cause of their coming. For some came only for the sake of seeing him, others through sickness, and others suffering from evil spirits. And all thought the labour of the journey neither trouble nor loss. For each one returned aware that he had received benefit. But though saying such things and beholding such sights, he used to ask that no one should wonder at him for this; but should rather marvel at the Lord for having granted to us men to know Him as far as our powers extended."
75 "Why when you make mention of the Cross are you silent about the dead who were raised, the blind who received their sight, the paralytics who were healed, the lepers who were cleansed, the walking upon the sea, and the rest of the signs and wonders, which shew that Christ is no longer a man but God? To me you seem to do yourselves much injustice and not to have carefully read our Scriptures. But read and see that the deeds of Christ prove Him to be God come upon earth for the salvation of men."

Never "deny oneself the practical experience of that (rediscovered scriptural) truth.  (Biblical) knowledge without the experience (of salvation, healing, deliverance, miracles such as raising the dead) is fruitless (unprofitable/dead/without power/useless on earth)."

COMMENTARY

God the Father has flesh/Christ/the Word and a spirit, the Holy Spirit.  His bride the church/individuals likewise is dead like a beloved mate/corpse in the casket, unless she has life/blood/spirit surging through her flesh on earth.  That is why tongues seems to be so important.  It is His breath surging through our lungs and out our mouths.  Sort of like the Bible being a dead man without a living Spirit.  Both the Bible and individuals are dead flesh without His life/Spirit surging through us.  To bless us individually but also to bless others.
