No, the wind is in reference to being led by the spirit vs. the flesh. When you are in the spirit, like you’ve once said, it brings you in oneness with God Himself. When Jesus died and left the earth He said He’ll leave us The Comforter, The Holy Spirit.

How do we know we’re not led by the flesh vs. the spirit? I personally can say there are times in my life when I’ve been overtaken by this overwhelming feeling of love and peace. A feeling that cannot be explained; a feeling that lifts you up when nothing on earth could; a feeling which gives you hope in the most difficult times. This feeling normally comes about when I instill God’s words in my heart and worship Him in spirit and in truth. No man nor thing upon this earth can come close to such overwhelming peace and love. Every time I would look to my flesh for such peace and gratification I always come up short or with a void in my heart. God’s Comforter fills all void and always leave us not lacking for anything...and as always, I thank Him!

Is the Holy Spirit different from The Spirit of God that dwells within Man?

I feel that way when I look deep within and find where my heart lies in the matter at hand..Whenever I come from my heart a feel Peaceful and Loving.
I also find great pleasure in my flesh, and marvel at its ability to recieve and give comfort in a physical manner that is unique to its form.

Frankster you asked “Is the Holy Spirit different from The Spirit of God that dwells within Man?” and my response is no. You see, when Jesus Christ left, "the Comforter"/"Supporter"/"Advocate" (the Holy Spirit) came in His place. The Holy Spirit is able to work within minds and through people's activities, in the everyday realm everywhere. The Spirit draws us into the presence of Christ. The bond between us and the risen Jesus Christ is a bond sewn by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit won't live in someone who chooses to sin in spite of conscience, or who has no love in them. The Holy Spirit is not found where sin has its way.

Jesus when ask why is it that he spents so much time with sinner responded " it is the sick who is in need of a physician" to paraphrase.
I am of the opinion that the Holy Spirit resides in us all, regardless of our state or belief.
