And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee... (Psalm 9:10).

Many Christians know about the Holy Spirit, believe in Him, and acknowledge His existence, but they don't really know Him. As a result, they fail to enjoy the fullness of His ministry in their lives.

The Holy Spirit is more than an influence, a feeling, or an experience. He's more than a divine power that comes upon you from time to time. He's a Person. He's God, and He lives in you. There's a difference between receiving the Holy Spirit and recognising Him. 

Many have received Him, yet they haven't learned to recognise His presence, appreciate His ministry, or respond to Him as the divine Person who lives within them. But when you recognise Him, everything changes. His guidance becomes clearer, His ministry becomes more real, and your confidence in Him grows.

Recognising the Holy Spirit changes the way you live every day. You’re confident that God is with you and in you. You become more conscious of His wisdom than your own thoughts, more confident in His leading than in your own reasoning, and more attentive to His voice than to the circumstances around you.

Train yourself to recognise His presence in your daily walk. Acknowledge Him in everything you do. Honour Him as the One who lives in you, walks in you, and works through you. The more you recognise Him, the more naturally His wisdom, power and glory will be expressed through your life.
