E. DEEPENING YOUR WALK WITH GOD / INTIMACY WITH GOD

Where is the Holy Spirit? This question was asked recently by a believer in a church. He wanted to know what the Holy Spirit was doing. He had been in church for a long time and heard many things about the Holy Spirit from the gift of spiritual gifts, to infilling, to baptizing. He wanted some concrete answers and experience. He wanted to know how to experience the work of God through the Holy Spirit.
