Below is copied from an earlier post on this same thread. The thread was about how Jesus Christ, the Word of God 'a He' is the Word of God we are preaching, not the Scriptures an 'It', also called the Word of God. The Scriptures are used to preach Jesus Christ, but it is knowing that we are preaching. When you use a phone you don't say the phone talked to me do you? Of course not. Still the phone is what you are hearing from and talking into. The Spirit is a person, but He only says what He hears and when He hears it. It is not His words you hear, but the Lord Jesus Christ's words you hear. This was coverd, but in case you missed it, I copied it again below.
Jn 16:13 when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak in His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
God is one, so perhaps this is not so important. But while the Spriit talks to us, the words He says to us are not His but the Lord's Jesus Christ's. The Father gave all things (including His words) to the Son. The Son the tells the Sprit what to speak to us and the Spirit tells them to us.
So Jesus Christ is called the Word of God because the Father gave the Son His words. The very words of the Father belong to the Son. The Son then has the Spirit tell you them. The Spirit does not glorigy Himself, but the Son.
Many people are saying the Holy Spirit talks to them, and so He may. But the Spirit of God is trying to glorify the Son Jesus Christ. He does it by simply passing on what the Son tells Him to pass on.
