The Spirit works in all of these ways and more, yet against all of that at times. It uses ruach . The OT does not present ruach as the mediator between God and humans. The Spirit is God at work, not a go-between. Isaiah and Ezekiel give hints toward envisioning the person-ness of the Spirit, but it is not until the writings between the testaments that this vision takes on a clearer shape, and not until Christ that it is given its full dimension.
Verbs are 'action words', but then, in their own way, so are nouns like 'wind'.
The Spirit is an 'action noun', too. We can find out how well they work as a unit, but we have no handle on how that comes about. The Spirit is not merely ' in action '. The Holy Spirit is a source of energy, but the Spirit is not a divine wall socket . The Spirit can't be stored away for later use, nor saved up as if it were money in the bank, nor sprinkled over people like some sort of champagne.
