Summary:

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity and has a twofold purpose—to fill you and to come upon you. He is God’s seed of power planted in every Believer and responsible for
every success in life. The Holy Spirit within you must be renewed daily
by fellowshipping with God. This can be accomplished through prayer,
praise and the singing of spiritual songs. Renewing your spirit daily is
essential to seeing God’s power in your life.
