89. What, then, is more divine than the
working of the Holy Spirit, since God Himself testifies that the Holy
Spirit presides over His blessings, saying: “I will put My
Spirit upon thy seed and My blessings upon thy
children.” Isa. xliv. 3. For no blessing
can be full except through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Wherefore, too, the Apostle found nothing better to wish us than this,
as He himself said: “We cease not to pray and make request
for you that ye may be filled with the knowledge of His will, in all
wisdom and spiritual understanding walking worthily of
God.” Col. i. 9. He taught,
then, that this was the will of God, that rather by walking in good
works and words and affections, we should be filled with the will of
God, Who puts His Holy Spirit in our hearts. Therefore if he who
has the Holy Spirit is filled with the will of God, there is certainly
no difference of will between the Father and the
Son.
