Abstract
The Holy Spirit is part of the discourse that develops in the communities of Christ’s
disciples. The Holy Spirit becomes a discourse, because it is closely related to social praxis in social
interactions and experiences, both in the community of believers and the general public. This study
tries to understand how the function of the discourse about the “Holy Spirit, The Giver of Strength
and Affirmation’ in the text of Ephesians 3:16-17. Functionally, there are at least two things, among
others: first, the Holy Spirit as the Giver of Strength and Confirmation of Faith; and second, the
Holy Spirit as the Giver of Strength and Affirmation in maintaining a substantial identity. Both
functions can be performed, when the Holy Spirit is in the inner man. These conditions will help
humans to have a complete self-awareness of the mystery of Christ. The mystery of Christ which is
understood only using reason will lead to division, but if assisted by the Holy Spirit who is in the
heart, the mystery of Christ will lead to salvation and peace.
