The Holy Spirit lives in the believer but is not there to dominate. He does not overrule our will. He desires to work with our spirit so that our spirit and His Spirit will become a common wind advancing the Kingdom of God. As our spirit is more open to and aligned with His mysterious work in us, then we can move forward together, united in a common purpose to glorify the Father and the Son.
“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Romans 8:14 (NASB)
