In many ways the work of the Holy Spirit in our personal lives and in the life of the church seems mysterious. It’s very similar to Christ’s comments to Nicodemus in John 3: the Holy Spirit moves like the blowing of the wind and accomplishes things, but we don’t know how.
The Hebrew and Greek words translated “spirit” mean “wind, breath, spirit.” The Spirit is not under our control.
The Holy Spirit led and gifted individuals in the OT, but this seems to be at specific times for specific purposes and was not constant.
In the NT the Holy Spirit accompanies conversion, is constant, convicts, encourages, guides into truth, reveals the Father, and accomplishes many other tasks on our behalf.
