What do Mormons believe about the Holy Ghost? Who is the Holy Ghost?

Krista answered…

The Holy Ghost is the 3rd member of the godhead. God the Father and Jesus Christ both have bodies of flesh and bone as we do, but the Holy Ghost does not. The Holy Ghost testifies to our minds and our hearts the truth of ALL things.

Richard answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godhead_(Latter_Day_Saints)
The Holy Ghost does not have a body of flesh and bones as we do. He can therefore enter into our hearts and our minds. He is a comforter and a revelator.

Tim Wade answered…

The Holy Ghost is part of the Godhead and is a companion to help us in many ways. The Holy Ghost was sent to help us after Christ returned to Heaven.

Tasanee answered…

The Holy Ghost aka Holy Spirit, is a member of the Godhead with Jesus and God. His role is to testify, teach, and witness of Christ. He is a small presence to every man as a conscience, when baptized, He becomes your companion. He can only be with you always if your life and surrounds are in accordance with Christ's teachings.

Wray answered…

The Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit as he is often referred to in other faith traditions is the member of the Godhead, which you can think of as the Trinity but without the confusion, that is tasked with speaking spiritually to our spirit. He testifies of Christ and generally reveals any truth that is needed or desired. He speaks in a still, small voice that requires discipline in order to hear and understand.

Leslie answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the God Head. He testifies of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He teaches us truth and witnesses when things are right. We can feel His influence in our hearts and minds. He helps us recognize answers to our prayers.

David Tran answered…

The Holy Ghost plays a powerful role in the church; one of its roles is to reveal truth.

Here's an example;
There are many people who believe the Bible, why? The Bible gives great guidance in how we can live our lives happily when we understand it, it can provide comfort in times of needs. There are many miracles from God and our Saviour Jesus Christ contained in it. A lot of times, the belief in God and Jesus Christ at this point is because they believe in a higher being, where so many things in this world could not possibly be a mere coincidence.
A belief in a God is established, and by historical means, the Bible provides a lot of knowledge, and more specifically, physical evidence. A lot of the physical structures and historical sites in the Bible can be found in the real world, with more to discover. Thus people believe.

Yet, why are there so many who deny it? They believe in science, theories tested to find answers; have we really found all the answers, or are we truly still looking?

The Holy Ghost is important because no matter the physical evidence, logic of man, or science experiments, the Holy Ghost is a spiritual and special witness from God that the things we do not fully comprehend are and is true.

How does this apply to Mormons?

I prayed to know if the church was true, I felt the Holy Ghost's witness that it is.
Friends ridiculed me due to a lack of physical evidence; there are - They didn't understand the scriptures or know where to find the evidence.

Logan answered…

Mormons believe the Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, the first two members being God and his son Jesus Christ. God and Jesus Christ both have bodies of flesh and bones but the Holy Ghost does not. The Holy Ghost is a spirit. It is through the Holy Ghost that Heavenly Father answers our prayers, we can recgonize the presence of the Holy Ghost and answers to prayers by paying attention to our feelings. For more info. see Galatians ch. 5 vs. 22-23

Christopher answered…

The Holy Ghost along with God the father and his son Jesus Christ are all 3 Gods that make up the Godhead. the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit and Hevenly father and Jesus Christ are both perfected imortalized being of flesh and bone. The Holy Ghost testifys of God the father and Jesus Christ and comfort us, sactify us, teach us and be our guiding light or warning voice in times we need him.

Carmen answered…

We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in his Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. They are three seperate beings. God, the Eternal Father and Jesus Christ have bodies of flesh and bone. The Holy Ghost, however, does not, so that he may dwell with in each of us. We refer to this as "feeling the Holy Ghost" or "feeling the Spirit". The Holy Ghost brings a feeling of peace and warmth into my heart. I know I am doing what the Lord would have me do when I have this feeling of the Holy Ghost with me.

Sue answered…

Mormons believe the Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. The Holy Ghost is a gift given to members after they are baptized and confirmed a member of the Church. And as we keep the commandments and live the gospel, we are promised to have the Holy Ghost as our constant companion. The Holy Ghost is the best gift I have ever received. I feel the Spirit each day and rely upon the Spirit to guide, direct and protect me. The Holy Ghost can guide you to make the correct choices in your life and can warn you of danger. It's something we strongly believe in and seek after every day.

John David answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is a personage who is a member of the Godhead. It is through His influence that we can come to know truth in this life.

Kacie answered…

I am a very visual person, so I imagine the Holy Ghost as a white floating mist that hangs above me. In my times of need it descends upon me and comforts me in ways that are unfathomable. It is a member of the Godhead (the Trinity) The Father, the Son, and....That's right, you guessed it! The Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghosts is with us. I had to struggle to feel the presence of the Holy Ghost before I was baptized, but when I did feel it's presence I was overwhelmed with emotion. It is the Holy Ghost that testified to me the truth of this church, and I am so greatful for its' blessings.

Charles Wayne Foster R. answered…

Latter-day Saints believe that the Holy Ghost is a member of the God Head. The Holy Ghost is like unto us, but does not have a body of flesh and bones as we do.

The Holy Ghost testifies of truth and brings peace to our hearts and minds. The Savior said, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." St. John 14:26

Sam answered…

The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit, and one of the three members of the Godhead. He works in perfect unity with the Father and the Son. He is the 'Comforter' spoken of by the Savior in John 14:18 & 26. He is also the Spirit of Truth spoken of in John 16:13, and he will guide the honest seeker to all truth. He can effect or influence all of Gods children regardless of place or time.

The Holy Ghost can be felt by anyone who is worthy of his influence at any time. However, after one has been baptized by priesthood authority, thus receiving the birth of water (John 3:5), he can then be "[born] of the Spirit." This is also called, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38.)

As explained in Acts 8:17-18, the Gift of the Holy Ghost can only be given to a person by the "laying on of hands". This is the promise that as long as one remains worthy of His companionship (by keeping the commandments) the Holy Ghost will always be with him or her to guide, protect, teach and comfort. I testify that this gift is real and available to all who will qualify for it. Repent; be baptized by priesthood authority; then you will receive this great gift.

Sheila answered…

The Holy Ghost is manifested to men on the earth both as the power of the Holy Ghost and as the gift of the Holy Ghost. The power can come upon one before baptism, and is the convincing witness that the gospel is true. It gives one a testimony of Jesus Christ and of his work and the work of his servants upon the earth. The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead and, as the name implies, a personage of Spirit, not possessing a body of flesh and bones.

Brian answered…

Over the years I have given this question a lot of thought. The Holy Ghost is a spiritual being and is a member of the Godhead along with God the Father and Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost has the job of communicating with us through our minds and in our hearts. With this communication He testifies of God the Father and of Jesus Christ. He also comforts us in our sorrows and testifies of the truthfulness of things presented to us, especially when our minds are willing to be taught and our hearts are willing to accept and live the by the truths He testifies of. Oh what a great privilege to be able to receive this communication directly from a member of the Godhead.

Jared answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead and one of our spiritual brothers who was chosen to serve our father by acting as the bearer of the Spirit of our father in heaven. When we seek his guidance or live in such a way to be worthy of his assistance, he will open the floodgates of heaven and pour out the Spirit upon us. This is probably one of the most important things for our lives because it is through this Spirit, this light and pure knowledge of God, that we may know all things to be true, have comfort, receive guidance and be purified and made clean to dwell in the presence of our father.

I have learned of the power of the spirit and gained a tremendous appreciation for it in my own life. I have learned that, in order to dwell with our father again, simply following the commandments blindly with no heed to their purpose is not enough. Those who will dwell at the highest levels on the right hand of our father are those who have learned to fill their lives, their every thought, decision and word with the Spirit. The Holy Ghost can prompt us to open the gates wider and fill our lives further. He can warn us of paths that might restrict the flow of the spirit.

If we can learn to fill ourselves with the ever-flowing river of the spirit and live our lives by that spirit casting aside the "wisdom of man," we will be purified and living as God would have us live which ultimately brings us peace and prepares us to live with him again.

George answered…

When a child at about the age of five, my parents were not interested in attending church, but being inquisitive by nature and wanting to know about God, my mother would dress me up and I would head off to the nearest church whether revival tent or cathedral I was there.

The idea that God was here and there and everywhere.....a vapor etc. was a mystery to me. How do you pray to such a being? As a child, I said the usual now I lay me down to sleep prayer at night and assumed I had done my duty.

While the specific nature of the Holy Ghost is not known, I know he is one of the Godhead and can communicate, through some means, truth and light to the honest in heart.

Every worthy accomplishment in my life I owe to the presence and help of this Spirit. Since I had not the advantage of higher education, I have of necessity relied on the Holy Ghost for enlightenment in the formidable challenges I have at times accepted. When I have done all that I could do, the answers have come and saved the day. The credit and recognition for ingenious solutions, have come to me, but it is the Holy Ghost who has filled in the blanks when I was up against the wall.

Whitney answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, after Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He was sent to this earth by Christ in order to testify of things which are true and to give us comfort. Every person on earth can feel the infuence of the Holy Ghost. After a person is baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he or she is then given the Gift of the Holy Ghost. This means that the Holy Ghost will always be with that person, as long as he or she lives the commandments. The Holy Ghost is one of the most beautiful gifts we have been given; it is through the Holy Ghost that we are able to know--in our own knowledge and in our own hearts--what is true and what is not.

Jill answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead along with Jesus Christ and God our Heavenly Father. He is there to teach us, give comfort in time of need, to guide us in everyday decisions and we can rely on him 24/7.

Dave answered…

The Holy Ghost is a personage of Spirit. He does not have a physical body and that is why his influence can be felt in more than one place at a time. The Holy Ghost has a specific mission to testify of truth. Every person who seeks for truth from God can receive a personal witness of the Holy Ghost. Everyone can have the direction of the Holy Ghost but only those who are baptized and given the gift of the Holy Ghost by proper priesthood authority can have the constant influence of the Holy Ghost. Those who have this gift can receive direction on a day to day basis to confirm righteous decisions and deter unrighteous temptations. To maintain the gift of the Holy Ghost one must keep the promises made at baptism. When we fail to keep those promises we lose the guiding influence of the Holy Ghost until we repent.

Courtney E. answered…

The Holy Ghost is a spirit that the Lord chose to be our companion while we are here on Earth. He is also known as the Comforter. He is the one that helps us make choices between right and wrong; He guides to make our own decisions; He gives us comfort when we feel sad, stressed, or lonely. He helps us feel happy when we are in good places with good people. When I read the Book of Mormon for the first time, it was the Holy Ghost that helped me understand what I was reading and if the Book of Mormon was true. The Holy Ghost also helps us to know if someone needs our help or if we need to get out of a certain situation. He is our guide, and everything He tells us is what the Lord wants us to know.

Travis answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. The other members are our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He does not have a physical like the other two members, or you and I, but is a spirit. Because he is a spirit, he has the ability to dwell with us. His purpose is to testify of true principles and provide comfort when needed. Through the Holy Ghost, an individual may receive personal revelation concerning questions or concerns in day to day life.

Eric answered…

We believe the Holy Ghost to be a member of the Godhead. He is a seperate individual from God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. He does Not have a body of flesh and bone like the Latter Two have. We believe that he is the one who lets us know if something is acceptable to God. He Comforts us when we pray and we feel that peace, He helps us to know if something is right. He warns us of danger. Having His companionship in my life has been a huge blessing in my life.

Steve answered…

The Holy Ghost is the 3rd member of the Godhead. It confirms truth to us with a special feeling that is unique to every person. It helps us to lead our family in the right direction and helps to make important decisions after we have done our part in studying the best options.

Christian answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, which also includes Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The Godhead is one in purpose and goal, but the Holy Ghost is an individual being, just like the Father and the Son. He does not have a physical body but is a Spirit, so that he can dwell with us and fulfill his mission to guide, comfort, and sanctify us.

The Holy Ghost witnesses to us of truth, and is the means by which we receive our knowledge of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his Restored Church. He delivers this message to us when we ask in faith if God is there and if he has restored his Gospel to the earth today. When we feel a warm, peaceful feeling within us or a thought that testifies that what we are learning is true, we can be sure that the Holy Ghost is speaking to us in his still, small voice.

Kelsi answered…

Just like some other religions, the Mormons believe that the Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. He is a spirit. He is our constant companion and gives us guidance and He testifies of truths and can warn us of dangers. I have a strong testimony of the Holy Ghost. He has helped throughout my whole life.

Mike answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. All three members are seperate and distinct individuals. God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ both have glorified and perfected bodies of flesh and bone. The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit, because of His role in the Godhead.

Bob answered…

We believe the Holy Ghost is a spirit person who serves with the Father and His Son-Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost testifies to us of the truth and the Father and the Son.

Zury answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead.He is a personnage of spirit and does no have a body of fresh and bones. He is the Comforter, who the Savior promised would teach His Follower all things and bring to their remembrace all things that He had taught them.

Penny Ann answered…

We learn that the Holy Ghost (also known as the Holy Spirit) is the third member of the Godhead which means that he is perfectly united in harmony, purpose with God the Father and Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Ghost is the convincing witness that the gospel is true. It gives one a testimony of Jesus Christ and of his work. The Holy Ghost also sanctifies, or cleanses us from sin after we are baptized by the proper authority.
We learn in Galatians 5:22-23 that the Spirit (Holy Ghost) can feel like the following "love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance." I have a strong belief in the Holy Ghost that it can teach us so much, about ourselves and about God. I know that who ever seeks God in their lives can have a chance to feel is calming and loving feeling.

Zarin Michael answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead (along with God the Father and Jesus Christ). The Holy Ghost confirms truth through feelings of peace and joy. We ask through prayer what is true and God will communicate to us through the Holy Ghost.

Rick answered…

The Holy Ghost (also known as the Holy Spirit, or Spirit of God) is one of the single most powerful forces for good in the world. I felt its influence, though I didn't realize it, before I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a teenager, when I used to read the Bible at night before going to sleep. Sometimes I felt so deeply moved with love for, and a desire to be like, Jesus Christ that tears came to my eyes. I now realize that was one of the manifestations of the Spirit, testifying to my soul of the reality of Jesus and of his great love for me. Since my baptism, I have felt the Spirit's influence on almost a daily basis. After we get baptized, we are granted the gift of the Holy Ghost when two or more Priesthood holders lay their hands on our head and confer it upon us in a sacred prayer and blessing. We believe the Holy Spirit is a member of the Godhead, separate and distinct from our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and He is not embodied. Not only does the Spirit testify of all truth, including the Father and Jesus, but also He quietly whispers words of knowledge to us, brings peace to our troubled souls in times of sorrow or great adversity, warns us of potential dangers and, little by little, over a lifetime of patient discipleship and beyond, He molds our character and desires to become more like those of the Savior. I am very grateful for the influence of the Spirit in my life.

Monica answered…

We believe the Holy Ghost is the third member of the God head The God head consisting of God the Father, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a gift that we are all blessed with at times in our lives. It is with us only at times of great need before we are baptized. After baptism we are confirmed members of the Church of Jesus Christ and we are given the Holy Ghost as a constant companion. As long as we are living righteously we will have his presence and the spirit of God to be with us. If we are not living the teachings of Christ the Holy Ghost cannot dwell with us.

Holly! answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. Heavenly Father or God and Jesus Christ, make up the other two members. The Holy Ghost is a separate being. He isn't just some mystical creature or idea. He doesn't have flesh and bones, but he is a personage.

The Holy Ghost has several purposes. He is to testify of truth to us, comfort us in times of trial, sadness, or danger, and to sanctify us. He is an eternal friend, guide, and teacher. The Holy Ghost can visit anyone to administer one of the above mentioned actions. However, he cannot be with us always unless we are baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and live worthy to have him with us.

I have personally felt the Holy Ghost in my own life and can tell you with surety that I know he is real.

Don Arturo answered…

The Holy Ghost is the divine comforter and revealer of truth! When we pray we have the ability to receive answers to our prayers through the still small voice of the Spirit.

Because the Holy Ghost is a personage of Spirit, he is able to "dwell in us." When new members or children are baptized into the LDS faith they receive The Gift of the Holy Ghost. This baptism by water and Spirit is in line with biblical teachings as Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove after he was baptized by John the Baptist as recorded in the New Testament.

The Holy Ghost is a divine guide for our lives. Most Mormons approach major life decisions prayerfully and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help them with the choices they must make.

Nicholas answered…

the holy ghost is awesome to help me how to stay righteousness path.. our heavenly father want me to live in heaven.i have to feel the inpsire what the spirit try me to do. hey i know it is hard to understand HOW. Must have faith. i felt different inspire and touch me. i have a witness with all my heart.

Ethan LeBlanc answered…

 The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. The Holy Ghost can communicate with us through our thoughts and feelings and he is the means by which Heavenly Father gives us guidance and comfort.

Joyce from Arizona answered…

Many people refer to Him as the Holy Spirit. He is a personage of spirit without a body of flesh and bones and is a member of the Godhead, along with God the Father and Jesus Christ. He has the ability to witness the truth of things to us if we worthily ponder, study them out and ask God in prayer for enlightenment. He can bring all things back to our memory, when we worthily ask. He communicates to us quietly and powerfully, though our feelings, or peaceful whisperings to our mind.
He is a comforter to us in times of need. He can be a protector, if we allow Him to influence our actions. With all the distractions in the world today (tv, ipods, movies, cellphones) it can be difficult to recognize His attempts to communicate with us. We need to allow those quiet, reflective moments in our day and seek to be guided. He is a great influence and blessing to me.

Alicia answered…

Mormons believe the Holy Ghost to be a member of the Godhead. The Godhead is 3 members of deity: Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, who work together for the same purpose of bringing Heavenly Father's children back to live with Him in the eternities.

The Holy Ghost is a spirit. He does not have a physical body like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. His purpose is to comfort Heavenly Father's children, bear witness to our souls of the divinity of Jesus Christ, and sometimes even to warn us at certain instances of our lives. When we get baptized, we are then given a blessing to receive the Holy Ghost. After this blessing, the Holy Ghost can be our constant companion so long as we keep God's commandments.

In my life, I have experienced times of living without the Holy Ghost's presence. It is a dark and lonely feeling. Now, I choose to do my best to keep God's commandments. By doing so, I am better able to serve those around me when I listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

Marshall answered…

The Holy Ghost is the 3rd member of what we call the Godhead, being God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. He is also reffered to as the Holy Spirit. Part of his role is to help people know of truth and guide us in this life. When we pray to God wanting to know an answer to something or want help to something, He sends the Holy Ghost to help us feel and recognize what we must do in order to return to Him and do what is right.

Kristen answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. His purpose is to testify of the Father and his son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost manifests in many ways, a still small voice, a warm feeling, peace to your mind, and comfort. He is often referred to as the Comforter. I have often felt peace through the Holy Ghost as I pray. I have also had the Holy Ghost testify to me that teachings from our prophet are true, through a warm peaceful feeling.

Faith answered…

The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit who enlightens the mind and heart of men and woman leading them to all good things and testifying to them of the truth of all things. The way he communicates to us is often described as a "still small voice".

J. Quinn, "Joe" answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. The Holy Ghost has not taken a physical body as Jesus has and His Heavenly Father before Him. He is a distinct personage though, but remaining in spirit the Holy Ghost permeates in, thru, and around all creation as well as the Father and Son, thereby providing the "fire" of the spirit, the most immediately tangible and faith affirming gift felt by the newly baptized.

Michael answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. He is a personage of spirit, or in other words, he is a spirit that doesn't have a body, otherwise, he could not dwell in us. He has a special purpose: he teaches truth, comforts us, and sanctifies us. He cannot dwell in unholy temples, so we must be cleansed from sin through repentance and baptism before he can dwell in us. We must be baptized the same way that Jesus was: by immersion, and by someone who has the priesthood authority of God. Then, as we remain worthy, the Holy Ghost can always be with us.

Racquel answered…

The Holy Ghost is often referred to as the "still small voice." He is part of the Godhead, acting as a companion and conscious to help us make the right decisions and keep us safe through our life here on earth. We can feel his presence as a simple feeling, prompting, or sometimes even a whispered word in our hearts and in our minds.

Val answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. Different from the Trinity idea, we believe that God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings, but completely united in purpose. A primary role of the Holy Ghost is to testify of Jesus the Christ and Heavenly Father. The witness of the Holy Ghost is the only way one can come to know that Jesus is the Christ and that this is his church here on earth. He can also teach us all things that we need to do, give us comfort, and purify us. The Holy Ghost can be your constant companion after baptism as you keep your baptismal covenants. This is called having the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Joshua. answered…

The Holy ghost is a member of the Godhead with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He is a separate being and a personage of Spirit. We gain testimonies through the power of the Holy Ghost, as the Holy Ghost may give us impressions, thoughts, and feelings. Through the Holy Ghost we can feel what is right, and we can gain new knowledge. The Holy Ghost helps us to understand the scriptures and to apply them in our lives. The gift of the Holy Ghost means that we can have the Holy Ghost with us always if we are worthy of His presence, and this gift is received as we join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Those who are not members of the Church can feel the power of the Holy Ghost through the Light of Christ, which everyone has, and in this way they can gain a testimony of the truth of the Church and the Book of Mormon. I've heard that the power of the Holy Ghost before receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost is like a lightning strike on a dark night, and the gift of the Holy Ghost is like the sun, giving us continual light.

Sarah answered…

The Holy Ghost is a still, small voice. A thought or feeling warning you when something is wrong. We believe that when we are baptized, we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. We always have the Holy Ghost as our companion as long as we are in places where he can dwell with us.

Brianna answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead, which includes our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost does not have a body like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ do. The Holy Ghost is a spirit and because of this he is able to give us promptings. These promptings come in many forms, it may be a thought to do something or a feeling in our hearts. The Holy Ghost is God's messanger and his influence can only be with us if we are trying to live our lives right. The Holy Ghost can warn us of danger, inspire us to help others, and comfort us when we are sad, distressed or lonely.

Jake answered…

We believe our Heavenly Father, His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct persons. We believe they are "one God" in the sense that they are perfectly unified in will and action.
While Our Father and Jesus Christ both have physical bodies, the Holy Ghost is a spirit. His mission is to testify to our hearts and minds that Jesus Christ has saved us from death and the full consequences of sin and mortal weakness. He also testifies of any truth that will lead us to our Savior.
I have felt the influence of the Holy Ghost as a sudden, warm sensation in my chest, as an overwhelming sense of peace, as an idea or conviction in a moment of mental clarity, or as a combination of these experiences.
I have felt the Holy Ghost in these ways many times throughout my life, and sometimes almost daily. Most often, these experiences have come as I have meditated on LDS teachings, as I have prayed with specific doctrinal questions and concerns, or about personal needs and the needs of others.
Such experiences are the basis of my faith in Jesus Christ and my decision to be a Mormon, as well as many of the most rewarding decisions I've made.

Tyler answered…

The Holy Ghost is one member of the Godhead, which consists of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost has a body of spirit, and is a means by which we can receive revelation from God, and feel His presence. The Spirit witnesses the truth of God to us on a daily basis, insomuch as we allow it by keeping the commandments so that we can feel its presence. The Spirit helps us know God's will for us, and allows us to be guided in our path towards perfection. It keeps us on the path if we pray often about how we have been living our lives, and it is one of the greatest gifts God has given us. As members of the Church, we have had the Spirit conferred upon us by the laying on of hands, so that it can be a constant companion to us. It still cannot dwell within us if we are unclean, but the Spirit does wish to be with us; we simply have to make that possible by choosing the do things that God approves of.

Katie answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. The other two members of the Godhead are God the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ.
As is taught in the New Testament in the 14th Chapter of John, Jesus would not leave us comfortless after He left the mortal realm. He would send us the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, to "teach [us] all things, and bring all things to [our] remembrance".
The Holy Ghost plays many vital roles in our lives. He is a Comforter, bringing the love and strength of the other members of the Godhead to any one of us who stands in need of comfort. He is a Guide, teaching us all things and helping us to discern good from evil. He is a Revelator, testifying of truth and aiding us in our quest for personal revelation (the power to know for ourselves).
As is taught in the Book of Mormon in the 10th chapter of Moroni "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." These scriptures mean that you can, and should, ask in sincere prayer for a personal testimony of all truth. You should inquire of the Lord all things. If you ask God about the truthfulness of a certain commandment, you can receive a witness from the Holy Ghost. You will then know for yourself (rather than being forced to believe others) that these things are true.
After a person is baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they are then given the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands (Acts 8:19) through the power of the Priesthood. As long as a person remains righteous, keeping the commandments of God, he/she can have the Holy Ghost with him/her ALWAYS.

Ruth answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the trinity or Godhead. He is a spiritual being. Our Heavenly Father uses the Holy Ghost to communicate with us. The Holy Ghost teaches us the truth of all things.
As part of baptism, I received the gift of the Holy Ghost, meaning that the Holy Ghost will be my constant companion, so long as I stay worthy. Even before baptism, the Holy Ghost can speak to our hearts and minds, and tell us what things are true. After baptism the Holy Ghost descends on you, like it did with Christ when he was baptized.

Daniel answered…

The Holy Ghost is a spirit that Heavenly Father sends to teach people what is true. The Holy Ghost speaks to our mind and our heart and causes us to feel things are true. If you want to study more, read Galatians 5:22 and John 14:29 in the Bible.

Kevin answered…

The Holy Ghost (aka Holy Spirit) doesn't have a biological body, though he does have a spirit body just like each of us do. For some reason that I don't fully understand, the fact that he only has a spirit body makes him able to communicate directly with each of our spirits, and the function of the Holy Spirit is to communicate to us God's will, comfort, and anything we need to know and can't find out any other way.

The Holy Ghost is the spirit of Christ that remained with the human race to be available to inspire us, guide us, comfort us and help us to live with a strong influence of Christ on a personal basis as we move through the trials of this existence.

Lorne answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead who does not possess a body, but is present in places that are not defiled by mankind. Everyone who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been confirmed a member of that Church and has been told to receive the Holy Ghost a portion of that member of the Godhead.

Jean answered…

Have you ever had one of those moments where a quiet feeling of peace came over you, or a warm feeling that filled your soul? Or how about that little feeling that something was about to happen, or perhaps you thought to warn someone you care about that going up that ladder wasnt such a good idea? I know these seem like random feelings, thoughts, or concerns, but when these small thoughts or feelings come to us, it's the spirit of the Holy Ghost speaking to us in quiet and gentle ways. Who is the Holy Ghost? Well, he is part of the Godhead with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have bodies of flesh and bones like we do, but the Holy Ghost is just that, a spirit. Being a spirit his presence can be felt everywhere he is needed. When we see, hear, or read truth, he testifies to us of it's truth through that peace I mentioned earlier. He can warn us of danger also. Every person can feel the promptings or feelings of the Holy Ghost in their lives at different times for many things, but it is only fleeting unless we receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost after baptism. Without it, I dont know where I would be today. Through the Holy Ghost, I learned that my Savior loved me and that I was not alone. When I prayed at times when the going got really tough, that peace and comfort would come and calm my troubled heart. Sure my life situation wasn't changed, but my outlook changed and my personal worth was changed forever for the better.

Robbie Platt answered…

The Holy Ghost is the 3rd member of the God head, also all powerful, he as a spirit body, and he can dwell in us if we are worthy. As the mouthpiece of God when we are given "the gift of the Holy Ghost" through a sacred ordinance we can also be entitled to personal revelations as long as we stay worthy of it. It is a great blessing to have.

Kevin answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the godhead. The first and second being Heavenly Father, and His son Jesus Christ.
The Holy Ghost is our comforter. The special mission of the Holy Ghost is to testify of the Father and the Son, to reveal the truth.
The Holy Ghost is a divine guide and the promptings we get come from him. That still small voice is the Holy Ghost.

Irene answered…

He is the still small voice that gives guidance, comfort, warnings, testifier. He is the 3rd member of the God Head. Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. He is a spirit.

Victoria answered…

The holy ghost is a spirit who prompts our hearts with information about what is right for us. This spirit may also give us impressions in our minds. When we hearken to the promptings it strengthens our ability to recieve more promptings. As we exercise these messages our lives become more peaceful, hopeful and happy. The holy ghost is part of the godhead and is an essential part of heavenly fathers plan. 

Sarah answered…

The Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit, is the third member of the Godhead (God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost). We are given the Gift of the Holy Ghost when we are baptized. The new Testament describes it as a baptism of fire. He helps us to know what is true by giving us good feelings and promptings. When we pray for answers, we recieve them through the Holy Ghost. It was the promting of the Holy Ghost that confirmed to me that the Mormon Church is true and that God loves me and wants me to be happy.

Nanc answered…

I believe the Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead: God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the communicator of God and Christ to us through inspirations and feelings. It is hard to explain but you know it when you know it type of thing. I've felt the Holy Ghost as promptings to help someone, or as a warning or caution in a dangerous situation, in reading the scriptures I feel a comfort a feeling or calm that all that God has given is because he love me and all his children. When I was baptized I was worried how I would be able to stop and give up a life style I enjoyed that was not a practice of the Mormon faith - I felt the Holy Ghost strengthened me to give up those habits. I believe one of the best things about being a Mormon is that after Baptism the Gift of the Holy Ghost is given to you and it will stay with you if you keep God commandments and repent and change when you fall short. I like the word "Gift" because it feels like a personal gift to me from God directly.

Katie answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is one of the three members of the Godhead. He is our link to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ on this Earth! He does not have a body, but that is so he can help testify of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, he can help lead and guide us to do what's right, he can help us recieve direct revelation from Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father.

Craig A. Smith answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit that has the power to speak to the souls of all of our Heavenly Father's children.

His influence is the primary force of good in all aspects of our lives. In many instances, men and women receive personal inspiration to answer all kinds of questions, not just those of a religious nature.

He can also reveal truths to our minds, helping us to understand things that we are pondering, or just plain confused about. He can help us to make choices, or even prompt us to do something somewhere that is ultimately the answer to another person's prayer.

Gary answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead. His role is to tell us what is true. As we live a life that is in harmony with the Gospel the Holy Ghost can be near to us and help influence us to make right choices. It also can warn us of dangers or evils that we should avoid.

Mostly though the Holy Ghost helps us feel the love of God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Rachael answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is a special spirit that helps us to know what we're supposed to do. You could say that He's our Jimminy Cricket. :) I've heard people outside our faith talk about "that quiet voice" or "feeling" that helps them know what to do. That's what the Holy Ghost is. He is a member of the Godhead. We believe that he is a distinct being.

Marilyn answered…

We believe the Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead, along with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. They are three separate beings. We believe the Holy Ghost does not have a body of flesh, but is a Spirit so he can dwell within us. The role of the Holy Ghost is to testify of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and to witness to us of truth and right. We can receive inspiration and direction from the Holy Ghost as we reflect upon, and give attention to, good feelings and thoughts that come to our hearts and to our minds. The Holy Ghost can also bring us comfort in times of difficulty, such as in the death of a loved one.

Terry answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead, along with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost is one in purpose with the Father and the Son, but is a separate being. Through Joseph Smith, the Lord revealed:
The Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us. (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22)
The special mission of the Holy Ghost is to testify of the Father and the Son, to reveal the truth (Book of Mormon, Moroni 10:4,5), to comfort us (John 14:26), and to sanctify us. He is a divine guide and teacher.

Morgan answered…

We believe that the God head consists of three separate and distinct beings. The Holy Ghost is the third member of the God head and testifies of the Father and the Son. The Holy Ghost is the Comforter and can bring peace to your soul. It is the Holy Ghost that has comforted me in times of sorrow. He has testified of the reality of the Son of God. Through the Holy Ghost and because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I have been born again.

Gary answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost, or sometimes called the Holy Spirit, is the third member of the Godhead. The other two members of the Godhead are our Heavenly Father and his only begotten son Jesus Christ. Together these three are one in purpose in bringing about our eternal happiness. The Holy Ghost has the primary role of helping us understand the truth. He can teach us spiritual truths that our beyond the comprehension of our mortal mind. He can influence any person on the earth if they truly seek to know Gods will. We believe that the Holy Ghost is a spirit being, and that he can dwell within us if needed. We believe that the Father and the Son have physical bodies as spoken of in scripture. If we are living our lives in harmony with the teachings of Christ and have been baptized by proper authority, we believe that we can have the Holy Ghost as a constant companion to guide us in this life on earth.

Giselle answered…

The Holy Ghost is the comforter of which Jesus Christ spoke. I liken the Holy Ghost to an internal spiritual compass. We may receive personal guidance, greater faith, understanding, comfort, increased capacity for love, knowledge of truth, answers to prayers and other spiritual blessings by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Mirjam answered…

The Holy Ghost is very real to me. I have noticed how I have been guided many times with regards to my children. I listen when my whole being and my heart is trying to to tell me something. It's not easy to ignore once you have acknowledged that feeling. I was 8 when I was baptized and I know that I will have the Holy Spirit with me whenever I choose to hear.

 People always ask me if I talk with my family in Germany on the phone a lot. The answer is: "I do." When I call I can always anticipate a certain background noise. When my little brother answers the TV is on. When my dad answers sometimes Country music is on. On Sundays I can a Tabernacle CD playing. Sometimes in the summer I hear: "I can't come to the phone right now we're grilling Bratswursts outside." Late fall and Christmas it's always Christmas music. Yesterday it was the fanfare trumpet from the WM soccer match. Every time I call and hear those familiar sounds the same familiar feelings well up: homesickness and the reassurance that everything normal and fine.

I have the same feelings about prayer. I know that when I pray it will be quiet and and I will feel the familiar feelings. I can hear my grandparents' response to my complaints: "Just breathe." or pioneers saying: "Faith in every footstep" or the Holy Ghost reminding me that faith proceeds miracles. I know that the reason for knowing what I will hear and feel like is because I have done it enough times. I have called my parents so many times that nothing will surprise me. Prayer is good and reassuring. It strengthens me and uplifts me. It gives me hope and courage and the feeling that I am not alone.

My Father in Heaven is far away. My parents in Germany are far away sometimes it feels as far away as heaven but I know how to return I know the way back. In the mean time I have to hold to my faith until it's my turn to go home. But in the mean time I will work hard to make all of my parents proud.

Naomi answered…

The Holy Ghost is Heavenly Father's agent who is with us day and night. He hears our prayers, and is our protector. He will warns us of danger, or that we might be straying or being deceived. He is that small voice that I listen to, and trust when I need guidance. He is the part of the Godhead of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. After Baptism we are blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost, but cannot take it for granted.

Kyle Johnson answered…

Michelle answered…

We believe that the spirit is one of the members of the God head. The God head is made up of 3 separt beings; God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. We believe the Holy Ghost is a guide from our Heavenly Father to know what is right and wrong.

Damon answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, along with God the Eternal Father, and His Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. As a member of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost has an important work in the salvation of man.

During His mortal ministry, Jesus made several references to the Holy Ghost. One of my favorite references is in John 16:12-13, where the Savior says "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth". Jesus knew that His disciples were not prepared for everything that He wanted to teach them or able to receive it. But He established this pattern for how they could continue to be taught after His ascension.

The Holy Ghost testifies of truth, and testifies of Christ (John 15:26, Acts 10:44-45). The Holy Ghost is also called the Comforter (John 14:26). We can recognize the influence of the Holy Ghost by the feelings in our heart (see Galatians 5:22-23). It brings peace, comfort, and joy.

The Holy Ghost is a revelator. After Christ ascended into heaven, the disciples were guided by the Holy Ghost as the Savior directed earlier. There are great examples of this pattern in Acts 1:24-25, Acts 8:29, Acts 10:10-28, Ephesians 3:3-6.

We likewise today rely upon the influence of the Holy Ghost to guide us. As in older times, the Holy Ghost testifies of all truth and points us to Christ. We seek and pray for its influence and confirmation in our lives.

Greta answered…

Unlike Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit and the third member of the Godhead.The Holy Ghost is a wonderful gift that is given to us after baptism. Much like the gift of the spirit, or light of Christ we all born with, the gift of the Holy Ghost is more than this.This gift can be our constant companion after baptism. As long as we keep the commandments the Holy Ghost will stay with us leading and guiding us in our everyday lives. I rely heavily on the Holy Ghost to lead me and guide me with daily decisions in my life. I have learned to listen closely to that still small voice. At times I have not listened to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I always regret when I do not listen. I am so thankful for this gift that I have been given.

Kaili answered…

The Holy Ghost is the messanger of God that can speak with us in our hearts and minds, if we're listening. That means doing what you just know is right even if you can't explain why. If we follow that voice faithfully, it will lead us to the light and truth of God. 

Gladys answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is the third member of the God head we worship. It is a personage of Spirit, not possessing a body.

The Holy Ghost has an important role in testifying the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It can warn us of danger and comfort us when in need.

Russ answered…

We beleive that the Holy Ghost is the 3rd member of the Godhead,a seperate individual who is one in purpose with God and Jesus

Patrick answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, that he is a personage of Spirit, so unlike the Father and the Son, the Holy Ghost does not have a physical body. The duties of the Holy Ghost is to act as a revelator, comforter, and messenger of the Father to mankind.

Since we cannot physically be with our heavenly father, he has sent the Holy Ghost to reveal to us the things that God wants us to know. The Holy Ghost is what reveals all knowledge to mankind and without the Holy Ghost there would be no way for mankind to know the will of God.

Garrett answered…

The Holy Ghost is a member of the God Head. He's the guide in our lives. We weren't sent down here to just figure things out ourselves. The Lord gave us a way and a light. The Holy Ghost is that light. He's the compass that leads us from evil and takes us to the teachings of Christ.

Cierra answered…

The Holy Ghost is my best friend given to me when I made a covenant or a promise to the Father and Christ that I would follow the standards that I was taught. The Holy Ghost never lies to me, never leads me astray, He teaching me, comforts me, and lastly He is a perfect gentleman who never goes where He is not welcome. The very moment I walk away from God to break a commandment He leaves me until I repent. How the Holy Ghost speaks is by the words we know. That little voice in our head that tells us right from wrong... that’s him. The feeling that warns you of trouble... that’s Him.

Abby! answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, which we believe is God, the Eternal Father, his Son- Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost (The Spirit). We believe that they are 3 separate Beings. When we are baptized, we are confirmed and receive the "Gift of the Holy Ghost" which is the chance to have the Spirit to be with us at all times- as long as we are keeping ourselves worthy and standing in holy places. When we receive righteous promptings, it's through the Holy Ghost. Sometimes we receive those promptings through a burning feeling in our chest, or a thought in our mind. Sometimes we receive these promptings through other people, there are many ways we receive promptings from the Holy Ghost.

Ron answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. A personage of spirit who testifies of the truth. His power and influence can be a constant companion for members of the Church. As a personage of spirit, he can communicate directly to your spirit those things that are true.

LeMar Hanson answered…

What do Mormons believe about God?
We believe in a Godhead of three individual,personal and separate beings.God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

Benjamin answered…

The gift of the Holy Ghost is my favorite principle of the gospel. The church is not bashful nor hesitant to teach of his nature. He is a member of the Godhead and literally is the Spirit of God. His job is to teach and to inspire. He touches the hearts of men and carries the gospel unto their hearts. It is through the Holy Ghost that I receive answers to my prayers. And in those moments when I am truly worshiping God, or communicating with him, that is when the Holy Ghost is most present and recognizable. After baptism, you are entitled and will be given the gift of the holy ghost. Just as in times of old, priesthood holders lay their hands upon your head and the gift is given. The spirit is so exciting and wonderful, but most importantly, it is reverent and somber. God's peace is felt through this heavenly messenger.

Chandler Balkman answered…

The Holy Ghost is a spirit, who acts as God's messenger to each one of us. The messages he relays usually come through feelings or thoughts--inspiration. The Holy Ghost is what helps us learn truth about God. When I read the Bible or the Book of Mormon, I feel the Holy Ghost, which helps me know that what I'm reading is true. It's hard to describe the feelings of the Holy Ghost, because they are different than normal feelings. They are spiritual feelings. It is the Holy Ghost communicating with our spirit, and when it is felt, it is tough to deny. When you feel it, you always feel closer to God.

Shawnie answered…

We believe in a Heavenly Father, His son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost, a.k.a. the Holy Spirit. These are three distinct personages who are united in love and purpose. The three of them make up the Godhead. Each of these three play their own divine role. These three are one in purpose, not to be confused with being one person.

The Holy Ghost's job is to influence, instruct, inspire, comfort, and testify of the Father and the Son to our hearts and minds. When we bear testimony of a particular truth, we give the Holy Ghost the opportunity to shed its warm, reassuring influence to others. It will also signal to our own hearts and our minds the rightness of any real truth we come across. Our hearts usually have to be willing and humble to have such experiences. It takes practice to recognize and encourage the Holy Ghost to be in our lives but it is well worth it.

Brenda answered…

My testimony of the Holy Ghost is a strong one! The Holy Ghost is my friend, the one that will always be there with me to comfort, guide, console, remind, and protect me from myself. He bears truth to me constantly! For example, I have sat in classes where the science teacher is explaining something, and my heart will burn with, "This is a true principle!"

I truly believe in that day when we meet the three members of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost will be most familiar to me because he is the one constantly by my side.

Betsy answered…

Mormons believe that the Holy Ghost is the personage, in spirit form, who witnesses to us of the truthfulness of the gospel. He witnesses to us that Jesus Christ is, in fact, the Son of God. The Holy Ghost is the one that appeared as a dove at the baptism of Jesus, when God spoke from above. Once a person is baptized by one holding the authority to baptize, Mormons believe that the Gift of the Holy Ghost may be conferred upon that person and that if he/she lives worthily, the Holy Ghost will remain with him/her constantly as a witness, as a guide, and as a comforter. I can tell you that the whisperings of the Holy Ghost are very powerful and that through his witness and guidance, I have never doubted the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints even though I was a convert to the faith. I have been guided toward more purity in thought, word, and deed, and toward more faith in my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Joseph answered…

We believe that the Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead, meaning that He is an individual person working in harmony with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. His purposes are unified with Heavenly Father and Jesus, and his attributes also include perfectly loving, omnipotent and omniscient. However, we refer to Him as the Holy Ghost because he doesn't have a physcial body as God the Father does, but has a spirit only. His mission is to testify of truth and assist God's children on the earth through teaching, inspiring, and guiding.

The Holy Ghost doesn't communicate using voice or language, but rather communicates with our spirits which are within us. Because of this more subtle form of communication, it is important to learn how to listen to the Spirit. For me, I most readily can recognize the Spirit as a flash of inspiration, or as bolstered confidence. Occasionally I feel something almost tangible with what some people term as "swelling of the heart." I feel warm and comfortable with a more pronounced heartbeat, for example. At other times, the Spirit can open my mind so I more clearly understand something.

Julie answered…

The Holy Ghost is the comforter and testifies the very existence of God, Jesus Christ and their love for us. They are three separate personages.

Danielle answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. The Godhead refers to God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a spiritual being. He has the power to witness to our minds, our hearts, and our spirits the truth of all things. He testifies of Christ and the truths of His restored gospel.

Mickey answered…

The Holy Ghost is a Comforter, a Guide and a Testifier. The Holy Ghost will comfort and will teach you; will guide you in your trip through life; and, will bear witness of God the Father and Jesus Christ, his Son. You must be willing to do your part as well to receive this gift.

Once you are baptized, confirmation has two parts: (1) to confirm as a member of the Church, and (2) then to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost. The priesthood holder performing that ordinance “bestows the gift of the Holy Ghost by saying, ‘Receive the Holy Ghost’”.

“The Holy Ghost … opens the vision of the mind, unlocks the treasures of wisdom, and they begin to understand the things of God. …” (President Brigham Young).

Communication with the Holy Ghost seldom comes audibly. Most of the time it comes through your feeling: “…your bosom shall burn within you…” by the gift of the Holy Ghost you can know if things are right by asking faithfully in your prayers.

Karel answered…

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, along with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost is one in purpose with the Father and the Son, but is a separate being.

His special mission is to testify of the Father and the Son, to reveal the truth, to comfort us, and to sanctify us. He is a divine guide and teacher.

The blessings of the Holy Ghost are conditioned upon worthiness. The Spirit of the Lord will dwell only with us when we keep the commandments. He will withdraw when we offend him by profanity, uncleanliness, disobedience, rebellion, or other serious sins.
When you are worthy to have this gift, you will be strengthened morally and guided by inspiration and revelation.
