Genesis 1:1-2
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Galatians 5:5-26 (NASB)
5 For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. 7 You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. 10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. 11 But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. 12 I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves. 13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. 16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another

[Any of the above renderings (spirit-Spirit, wind, breath) of 4151 (pneúma) is always theoretically possible (spirit, Spirit, wind, breath). But when the attributive adjective ("holy") is used, it always refers to the Holy Spirit. "Spirit" ("spirit") is by far the most common translation (application) of 4151 (pneúma).

To walk on the right path to God our Father you first need to receive the faith that comes from hearing and or reading the gospel of His beloved precious Son our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:14-17, Romans 12:3 NASB), then you must become a disciple (Christian) of His beloved precious Son our Lord Jesus Christ through repentance, confession, baptism and being faithful and obedient, abiding in the word, and enduring (Matthew 10:24, Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 12:46-50, Matthew 28:18-20, John 14:21, Acts 2:38-44, Acts 11:25-26, Acts 14:21-22), we are to strive to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus striving also to deny ourselves of ungodliness and worldly desires, living sensibly, righteously and godly in this present age (Luke 9:23-26, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 2 Corinthians 6:14-16, Titus 2:11-15 NASB) placing God our Father, His Son our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit first in our lives above everything else (Matthew 6:33, Matthew 10:37-42, Matthew 22:37-39, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Ephesians 2:14-22).
The path that leads us to God the Father through His beloved Son (John 14.6) and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-16, John 3:1-7, Acts 2:38, Romans 8:26, Titus 3:4-7, Jude 1:20), so that we will be able to be part of the body, the church, Church of Christ, in Christ. We need to follow our Lord Jesus Christ and learn and obey His commandments and His teachings (Matthew 7:21-29, Matthew 11:25-30 KJV, Matthew 12:30-37, Matthew 13:1-30, Matthew 13:36-43, Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 28:18-20, Luke 1:1-4, Luke 9:23-26, John 14:15, Acts 1:1-4, Romans 10:17), and His Apostles teachings (Acts 1:1-2, Acts 2:42, Romans 1:1-6), and the Hebrews writer (Hebrews 1:1-4), and the Lord’s brothers James and Jude (Matthew 13:55 NASB. 1 Corinthians 9:5, James 1:1, Jude 1:1), and the former teachings and examples of the Old Testament revealed to us by the men of God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit as written in the inspired word of God (John 16:5-15, Romans 15:4-6, 1 Corinthians 10:1-14 NASB, 2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 6:10-19, 2 Peter 1:19-21 NASB). and live a life being faithful and obedient until death (Matthew 16:26, Luke 8:15, Luke 21:19, Romans 5:1-5, Romans 8:18-25, Hebrews 10:35-39, Hebrews 12:1-17 ASV, James 1:3-4, James 5:10-11, 1 Peter 2:19-25, 1 Peter 3:14-17 KJV, Revelation 2:10-11,3:10-11).
We are to learn to do the will of God our Father (Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 12:50, Matthew 18:1-15, Matthew 21:23-31, Luke 10:21, John 6:27,40,57, Galatians 1:1-5, Philippians 2:1-13 NASB, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 NASB) and strive forward to becoming a good and faithful servant to our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:37-42, Matthew 25:1-30, Philippians 3:12-17 NASB).
We have the inspired word of God and the body of faithful baptized believers in Christ found within the Churches of Christ and individual homes around the world that follow the commandments and teachings that were revealed by the Holy Spirit of God (John 14:15-21, John 15:10, Acts 2:42, 2 Peter 1:20-21) to help us grow in faith, encouragement, fellowship and prayer (Matthew 21:13,22, Mark 11:17,24,12:38-40, Luke 6:12,19:46,20:45-47, Luke 22:31-46, Acts 14:21-23,16:11-15, Romans 1:8-14, Romans 10:1,12:12,15:30, Romans 15:4-6, 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Corinthians 7:1-40, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Philippians 2:1-13 NASB, Colossians 2:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 NASB, Hebrews 3:12-19, Hebrews 6:1-18, Hebrews 10:23-25).
As we grow and mature in the word through study (Ephesians 6:17-18, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV, Hebrews 4:12, 1 Peter 1:23) and bearing the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), learning to be humble (Matthew 23:12, 1 Peter 3:8, 1 Peter 5:6) and grateful (Colossians 2:6-7 NASB, Hebrews 12:28, 1 Timothy 4:4 NASB) having compassion and forgiveness for others (Matthew 6:14-15 NASB, Matthew 18:21-35 NASB, 2 Corinthians 2:6-11 NASB, Ephesians 4:32, Philippians 2:1-8 NASB, Colossians 3:12-13 NASB), being truthful with ourselves and others (Luke 8:4-15, John 14:6, Colossians 3:9-10, 1 Peter 1:22, 1 John 1:5-10, 1 John 3:18 3 John 1:3), comforting each other (2 Corinthians 1:3-7, 2 Corinthians 13:11, Philippians 2:1-3 NASB), loving your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 19:19, Mark 12:30-31, Romans 13:9, Galatians 5:13-14), doing good (Galatians 6:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:15, 2 Thessalonians 3:13, 3 John 1:11), and praying for all people (Ephesians 6:10-18, 1 Timothy 2:1-4), being kind and showing perfect courtesy to all people (2 Timothy 2:24 NASB, Titus 3:1-2 ) and spreading the gospel (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-16).
Conclusion
We need to grow in the grace, the word, the faith, love, and in the Spirit (Romans 4:13-5:5, Romans 8:26-39, Ephesians 3:14-21, Ephesians 6:10-18, Colossians 2:1-15, 2 Timothy 2:1-26, 1 John 2:14-29, 1 John 3:13-24, Jude 1:20-23, Revelation 14:12-13) and as we grow in faith, we seek the blessings of understanding, insight and wisdom of His words (1 Thessalonians 2:13,
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV, Hebrews 4:12, 1 Peter 1:23) and prayer (Mark 11:25, Luke 21:34-36 KJV, Ephesians 6:10-18, Colossians 4:2, 1 Timothy 2:1-4, James 3:17, Jude 1:20), and this helps us with the knowledge of how to live a peaceful and quiet life in godliness and dignified in every way (Romans 12:9-21, Romans 13:1-7, Philippians 4:8-9, 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5, 1 Timothy 2:1-4, Titus 2:2-14, Titus 3:1-11, Hebrews 12:14, 1 Peter 2:9-17, 2 Peter 1:3-11), so that we can proclaim the Lord's death until He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26), waiting to bring us home as we try to help grow the kingdom of Christ and God (Joshua 24:15, Matthew 6:24, Matthew 12:30, Matthew 18:11-14 NASB, Luke 9:50,11:23,19.10, John 8:12, John 12:26, 2 Corinthians 6:15-16, 1 John 2:19).
2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (NASB)
20 For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, 22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
The Holy Spirit is worthy of our praise and worship.
