Be acquainted with the person of the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love? (James 4:5, AMP)
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3
It is Christ In you the hope of glory. Christ who is your life.
There are many who have never become acquainted with the person of the Holy Spirit, only with His gifts. There is a desire to know Him with each believer and to see the hand of the Lord move in our behalf.
We were created to know the Lord in with real intimacy and a real knowing. The presence of the Lord lives within each one of us. The Lord longs to speak within you, to strengthen you, give you His confidence that supersede any self confidence, to give you the answers you seek, to empower you, capture your heart and give you satisfaction and fulfillment that only can be given from Him. 
The only way is to spend the time with Him and draw from Him. Spend time with the Lord, with His word ask Him to open your eyes to see Him, to know Him intimately. That He would give you a Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation. Sit with Him, let the presence of the Lord draw you, love you, heal you, fill you and from the Shepherd develop the realized presence of God that never leaves and will never leave. Worship Him, praise Him as you do know He does inhabit and changes the atmosphere within you and around you. You will move from a natural perspective to a supernatural one. He will satisfy and hold your heart. Realize that if you are in Him so are your situations. You don’t go continually from sheep to sheep to draw your strength. It won’t satisfy you. You will be back the next day doing the same thing. It is Christ IN YOU, the hope of glory that will. The Lord is your strength. It is from Him and the power of His presence, but when you do speak there is a real strengthening to those you are bond together in the bundles of life. Power and strength is imparted to one another, but it begins with each one in fellowship with Him. 
My sheep hear My voice and another they shall not follow.

Our "Race" in life

Image
  "Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain." 1st Corinthians 9:24-27 Our Christian race here on this earth is not a quick sprint! It's a long race (marathon)!  We might travel a short distance before stopping. We could then renew our spirits and continue. But in our race, we must pay close attention to the set course!  Our Savior has already paved this way, so there shouldn't be any detours.  Since we don't want to fall, we should concentrate on the immediate future and search for "signs" that will direct us in the right direction.  We've got a "spiritual map" That, in my opinion, is both the Bible and the Holy Spirit's "direction."  We will see brightness for many miles, but there will also be times of darkness and storms. We definitely need the Lord's assistance to get through.  We must constantly turn to our "Resources" thus prayer, the Holy S...
