I am a Catholic Mystic. I have seen the Holy Spirit and can identify Him and some of His works.
The photographs that I will be presenting are of the Holy Spirit and a chariot of God. These photographs have been a mystery to mankind for decades. The Holy Spirit is erroneously called an angel orb or spirit orb. He is highly misunderstood in the world. To understand the Holy Spirit and chariots of God we must consult scripture. To my knowledge, Jesus is the best teacher of the Holy Spirit. And I will be using both the old and new testaments of the Holy Bible.
2 Corinthians 4:18. while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Identifying the Holy Spirit in bodily form
Notice how the photograph below left looks exactly like the Halo.
(http://www.hauntedhovel.com/images/orb9.jpg)(http://blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/files/2014/01/halo.jpg)
The Halo can be seen in scripture as the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) alighting and remaining upon Jesus in bodily form.
Mathew 3:16. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
John 1:32. John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him."
The photograph at top left is of the Holy Spirit in bodily form.
Luke 3:32. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased."
The Holy Spirit alighting and remaining upon Jesus in bodily form appeared as a Halo.
My thoughts on the Halo
The Spirit of God appears to be revealing to us through the Halo that He is the breathe of life given to all mankind in the very beginning by God.
This is not to be confused with the life that Christ gives us through the Spirit of truth.
Genesis 2:7. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breathe of life; and man became a living being.
The term "Spirit" translates the Hebrew word ruah which in it's primary sense, means breathe, air, wind.
I believe that the breathe of life went into man's nostrils and is located over and throughout the brain giving us life. Hence, the Halo is over the head, representing the Spirit of God giving us life in this world. And without the breathe of life, the brain would not function and we would have no life in this world. The breathe of life is connected to our spirits by the silver cord. When the silver cord is loosed, we are cut off from the breathe of life, the brain dies, we become disconnected from our bodies, and are no longer part of this visible world.
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7. Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
I believe that the Halo would be the Spirit of God's rightful place in revealing to us that He is the breathe of life given to all mankind in the very beginning by God and thus the Halo does not have to be limited to Christianity.
Chariots of God
Artist rendition of Ezekiel's Vision of God (based on scripture).
(http://iamlori.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/ezekiel_s_vision_op_800x400.jpg)
What you are looking at above appearing before Ezekiel, a beloved prophet of the Holy Bible, is Father God on His throne, Cherubim (living creatures), and what Ezekiel describes as "a wheel in the middle of a wheel" - this appears to be an orbital description of the Holy Spirit Himself as a great living chariot of God.
Excerpt from, "Ezekiel's Vision of God" -
Ezekiel 1:15-21. Now as I look at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with it's four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. As for the rims, they were so high they were awesome, and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went, and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When those went, these went, when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
Below is a photograph of a spirit in one of the many small chariots of God.
(http://www.extremumspiritum.com/images/2013/07/xmas-orb.jpg)
Ezekiel 1:21. "for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels."
"for the spirit of the living creature is in the orb."
Ezekiel 1:19. "and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up."
"and when the living creature was lifted up from the earth, the orb was lifted up."
The many chariots of God are the living works of the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 68:17. The chariots of God are twenty thousands, Even thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
The Spirit of truth & the eyes of the Lord
Please notice how the photograph on the left resembles an eyeball.
(http://www.hauntedhovel.com/images/orb9.jpg)(http://aashdown.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/eyeball4.jpg)
The photograph on the left is the Spirit of truth (Holy Spirit) looking directly at the camera man and bearing witness to him taking the photograph.
1 John 5:6. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
The Holy Spirit also bears witness to our consciousness.
Romans 9:1. I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit.
It is through the Spirit that the Father and His Son Jesus hear our cries.
Romans 8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning's which cannot be uttered.
The Lord demonstrates His presence here on earth through the eyes of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 16-9. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
Psalm 34:15. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.
Psalm 33:18-19. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who hope in His mercy. To deliver their soul from death,
The Holy Spirit glorifies Christ
The Spirit of truth bears witness to the indwelt Spirit of Christ.
The Spirit of truth glorifies Christ by bearing witness that we belong to Christ and declaring this to the Apostles who sit on the thrones of judgment so that we are not judged and may go onto the Father.
Jesus said to the Apostles -
John 16:13. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
This is how Christ builds His kingdom through the Holy Spirit here on earth.
Romans 8:16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Elijah Ascends to Heaven
2 KINGS 2:1. And when it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind,...
Elijah would have traveled through a spiritual whirlwind (tunnel) on his way to heaven.
Here is a picture of a physical whirlwind.

Based on what you followed with I suppose the most obvious question is how did you try the spirits. You seeThe reason I ask is that guys like Joseph Smith and Tod Bently made similar types of claims as yours.
I received the gift of discerning spirits through the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the profit of all:
1 Corinthians 12:10. ...to another the working of miracles, to another prophesy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
I had a seven year objective relationship with the Holy Spirit and observed by His fruits (works) that He is the absolute perfect divine good spiritual entity as described in scripture.
Mathew 7:20. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
I have observed the following to be true. In my third post I have demonstrated how the Spirit glorifies Christ. He makes intercession for us to the Father and Jesus. It is through Him that our prayers are heard. It is through the Holy Spirit that Christ builds His kingdom here on earth. He does bear witness that we are children of God.
1 Corinthians 12:3. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus had revealed the Spirit to me twice. He is obviously from God.
1 John 4:3. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

After you answer that, you seem to suggest that the icon (an idea that Constantine's mother introduced into the "church") is a photograph of the Holy Spirit, but it isn't. It is just an idolatrist artist's conception of what a halo would look like through his personal mind's eye.

I believe this to be a genuine photograph of the Holy Spirit descending in flight.

He appears to be descending as a dove.
John 1:32. John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him."
If He were to stop and remain upon the head of a person He would appear as a Halo.

To my knowledge, the Holy Spirit has never manifested Himself as a physical presence. He is spirit and has been seen.
Mathew 3:16. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

The Holy Spirit cannot be tested this way because He does not speak on His own authority.
Jesus said to the Apostles -
John 16:13. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His
authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come.
He repeats back to a person that what He hears and sees. This is how He speaks. He has an absolute perfect memory.
I know familiar spirits as well. And I would not insult the Holy Spirit by suggesting that He is a familiar spirit when I know He is not. The Holy Spirit is no ordinary spirit, He is God, the third person of the Holy Trinity.
Luke 4:12. Jesus answered, "It is said: 'Do not put the Lord God to the test."
Personally, I would not suggest testing any of the three separate Gods of the Holy Trinity.

Catholics make atonement for the dead. It is part of the Catholic faith. From the Catholic Bible -
2 Maccabees 12:46. Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin.

What I know is the practice is straight out of paganism (and also happens to be a Wiccan practice) and is not supported by scripture, so the most "obvious" suspicion
should be, that an unclean familiar spirit is deceiving you. That's why they're called
deceiving spirits. The Jews didn't consider those pre-Christian era books to be inspired either.
Regarding relying on presumption, without trying the spirit, you seem to be ignoring or minimizing the following:
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Do you also believe that the heads of the Roman Church have been an unbroken chain of Holy Spirit inspired succession ever since Jesus Christ?
Quote from: Child of God on August 07, 2015, 08:43:11 PMI have never sought signs or chased Halos.
The Holy Spirit cannot be tested this way because He does not speak on His own authority.
Sure, that's why we were given the test. Because it doesn't work, eigh? The fact is the Holy Spirit will reassure by repeating, while unclean spirits will try to duck and dodge as they are being exposed, because they cannot repeat that phrase.
This is a test that brethren I know use to ferret out unclean spirits and demons that pose as the Holy Spirit, in brethren that are speaking in tongues, for example.

You mean that you
presume His is not an unclean spirit, even though you credit this voice in your head as being the reason you pray for the dead (besides RC "tradition" (http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Mar&c=7&v=13&t=KJV#s=964013)). Familiar deceiving spirits are just that, my friend -
deceiving.

Consider a sufferer from MPD (DID). Within the host of spirits there are benign ones, that even help to manage the more demonic spirits in the community of alters.
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=31.0
There are threads of brethren in this forum that had been deceived into believing that unclean spirits were the Holy Spirit. One was delivered from his familiar spirits and rejoined the forum later with a different username.
Another is a 3rd generation Pentecostal preacher, that thinks the glossolia he encourages his congregation to mutter in, is Holy Spirit inspired tongues. That's the result of failing to "try the spirits". That third generation Pentecostal preacher
presumes, just as you indicate you do.

During this conversation with Jesus, He confirmed that I could make atonement for the dead. So I know that this verse is valid.
What I know is the practice is straight out of paganism (and also happens to be a Wiccan practice), and is not supported by scripture, so the most "obvious" conclusion should be that an unclean familiar spirit is deceiving you. That's why they're called deceiving spirits. The Jews didn't consider those pre-Christian era books to be inspired either.
Regarding regarding on presumption, without trying the spirit, you seem to be ignoring or minimizing the following:
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Do you also believe that the head of the Roman Church is an unbroken chain of Holy Spirit inspired succession ever since Jesus Christ?
I have not been deceived. I am probably one of the most leading authorities on the Holy Spirit today. If you knew the Holy Spirit, you would know that He does not speak on His own authority. Meaning, He does not speak with His own voice and could not possibly be tested the way you have indicated. That test is for familiar spirits and not God, the Holy Spirit.
Have you ever tried a spirit yourself? Do you have any experience with the spirit world? Just how I would not have an inexperienced mechanic diagnose my car, neither would I allow someone without experience to determine whether my interpretations are correct or not. If you have no experience, you are not qualified to make such determinations. Without experience, all you have is book knowledge. Book knowledge falls short of real life experience with book knowledge. And if you have no experience, you have no authority on this subject. Let us not be like the big-headed enemy and pretend we are more than we are or something we are not.
I know God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit intimately (personally). They have all spoken to me. I speak the truth, I am not lying, my consciousness bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit.

By Catholic I have been presuming that you mean Roman Catholic, who you also pointed out licenses their flock to pray for the dead. As a Roman Catholic, how on earth is it that you could "know nothing" about the doctrine of Apostolic succession?

I personally have never been called to it. However two of my ministry partners have had extensive experience with delivering folks from unclean spirits and instructing others on the matter. Later in life Ellis logged about 8,000 hours on line helping those afflicted by MPD find their way back to their mono-minds through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I did have one up close and personal experience with unclean spirits and what appeared to be a demon though.

I couldn't agree more in regard to delivering people from spirits and demons.
Please review what you gave me to go on, prior to your pulling this rabbit out of the hat. Some guy floating around the Internet that calls himself a Catholic "mystic", posting what you claim are photographs and videos of the Holy Spirit while citing unscriptural unsound Roman Church doctrine, so....... well....... how did you expect to be received? "Oh, gee, I've never seen a photograph of the Holy Spirit before! Thanks!"? What on earth reason for posting those photos and idolatrous images anyway?

So how can a Roman Catholic be as experienced as you claim to be and not be familiar with the doctrine of Apostolic succession?
I am not pretending to be something I am not. I was being modest. I am probably one of the most leading authorities on the Holy Spirit in the entire world today. :)
I do not expect you to be able to identify the Holy Spirit.
Images are not idolatrous. Worshipping images is. This is what God forbids. The Catholic Church does not worship images. Nor do I.
My interest is in those of heaven and not so much the Church.

Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
So perhaps it's the familiar spirits that informed you that you are "probably one of the most leading authorities on the Holy Spirit in the entire world", or do you just presume that because you know everybody in the world?
How many guys do you suppose are running around out there claiming they have photographs and videos of the Holy Spirit?
Quote from: Child of God on August 14, 2015, 04:50:15 PMI do not expect you to be able to identify the Holy Spirit.
The Christians in this forum are filled with the Holy Spirit, so we don't feel any need to seek after a sign as an evil and adulterous generation of men do. Fulfilled prophecy and the mathematical precision thereof, are plenty more than enough evidence.

Even if it were a photo of the Holy Spirit, you would be wasting your time with it in here, and elsewhere likely doing more to discourage seekers from beginning a life in Christ with an intro like yours.

Of course Muslims make the same claim - that they don't worship the (Quraish pagan's) black stone (idol) - even as Muslims are obligated to travel to that black stone and march around it seven times (as the Arabian pagan's did) and kiss it (as Muhammad did) or at least point to that black stone idol on each trip around, venerating that stone idol as representing their "Allah", just as the Arabian pagans did.

Then why would you choose to associate yourself with the bondage of the many heresies and denigration of Jews, of the Roman Church, if your interest is "not so much the Church"?
If your interest is "in those of heaven" then why post images of them made by artists that never even saw them?
Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above.....
Particularly the usually, specifically, counter-gospel images of Jesus.
