Heb 9:13-14
First of all we notice a difference between verse 13 and 14.
And that is that the Old Testament sacrifices were not offered through the Holy
Spirit. So how then do we do things through the Holy Spirit? To do something
through the Holy Spirit means to know the mind of the Holy Spirit concerning
that thing and act in accordance with the direction you get on how to perform.
First of all, through the Holy Spirit implies that your spirit must be alive to
God i.e. you must be born again, because if you are not born again you can’t
even know (ginosko-revelation knowledge) God.
Secondly, through the holy spirit means you are doing it by the power and inspiration of the holy ghost meaning you are fully conscious of the Spirit and all his attributes especially the attribute of love because the bible said God is love and if you wanna relate with this God, you must do so on his qualification, of which the only one is that God must dwell in you and function through you with His love. So if your love doesn’t propel you to do anything, you are doing it through the flesh. The bible says-(imagine how i would say it with my typical demonstration)-there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the almighty gives him understanding. God guides you through your spirit. Jesus offered himself by the spirit. He was aware of Gods will and that will was that Jesus should die. Now it was his love for the father that propelled him to despise the shame of the cross and die the death of a criminal. The death on a cross is the only death that a man is cursed after dying through that method. Then you begin to understand why the bible said "cursed is every one that hangs on a tree." Yet Jesus, knowing the full consequence of what his father was asking him to do, still went ahead to do it. And he did it through love which is the same as saying through the spirit.

So through the spirit means knowing what god wants you to do
per time and doing it willingly with a heart of love.
Every human can love (eros and filio), but only God can love
(agape). When you were born again, you received the God kind of love and that’s
what makes you unique. That is what enables you to do things for God, because
God won’t accept anything that isn’t done through the spirit i.e. by the love
of the Holy Ghost flowing out of you which was deposited there by God himself
through his Spirit, and that includes your offerings *winks*
Hope this was beneficial.
