"But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills (1 Corinthians 12:11)."
"...while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will"-Heb. 2:4
Having demonstrated that the Holy Spirit has a distinct mind, we will see that it is also evident that the Holy Spirit has a distinct will. The Holy Spirit distributes gifts according to his will, that is, on the basis of his desire. The Holy Spirit, by his sovereign prerogative and according to the will of the Father, determines who will get spiritual gifts, and who will get what kinds of spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit has a will which is distinct from yet subservient and functionally subordinate to the will of the Father, as we see from Rom. 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.-Rom. 8:26-27
The Spirit thus has a will according to which he distributes gifts of the Holy Spirit and he himself intercedes for the people of God according to the Father, who elects them and sends His Spirit to regenerate them. Lest a binitarian like a Jehovah's Witness who believes that the Holy Spirit is a mere maniestation of God's power, argue that this is mere anthropomorphism, we argue that in this very same chapter, the Apostle Paul describes Jesus, whom Jehovah's Witnesses acknowledge is a distinct person from the Father(yet who err in seeing the Son as a created being who is ontologically subordinate to the Father), as himself also interceding for the people for whom he has died(Rom. 8:34).
