When we come to the Lord we are given the Holy Spirit as a covenant showing that we are of the Lord . The Holy Spirit guides us and directs us in the will of God. A vast majority many Christians have a understanding of the Holy Spirit but no relationship with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is just as much God as the Father is or the Son! The Holy Spirit longs to have a relationship with you, and if you don't have that you cant have the best and most productive relationship with God. Many Christians think that if you pray and read your bible and try to live righteously you will just "get" more of the Holy Spirit. This is not truth, while these things all have great benefit in your life they don't result in you "getting" more of the Holy Spirit. You never "get" more of the Holy Spirit. He comes and dwells in you, and quite simply lives. The choice is yours to let Him have more leading in your life. To have a better relationship with the Holy Spirit all you have to do is surrender; the more areas of your life you hand over, the more the Spirits influence becomes stronger. How can He lead you if you haven't given him control? If you want more of Gods influence, give him more of you.
John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease"
You need to read Forgotten God by Francis Chan... it's all about this very thing!
