As one devotional writer stated, “You can’t have a friendship with someone when you keep calling him “it.” Many people don’t have fellowship with the Holy Spirit because they view the Holy Spirit as a force instead of a friend. They see Him as a power, not as a person. Jesus never referred to the Holy Spirit as “it” but always as “He.” The Holy Spirit is a person.”

The Holy Spirit wants to have fellowship with us. True to the upside down ways of God’s kingdom, the deepest fellowship is found through sincerest surrender. Surrendering allows us to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice more clearly, leading to a greater understanding of His guidance. Surrendering involves trusting in God and obeying His commands, leading to a deeper dependence on Him and a closer relationship with Him. By surrendering our lives to the Holy Spirit, we align ourselves with God’s purpose and experience the joy, peace, and strength that come from walking in His will.
