God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Corinthians 1:9).
I recall the story of a certain minister who placed two chairs on his platform in church. He said one chair was for him and the other for the Holy Spirit. Whenever he wanted to fellowship with the Holy Spirit, he would sit down on his chair and say, “Holy Spirit, that’s your chair,” as though the Holy Spirit would sit down for them to begin a discussion.
It sounded like a nice thing to do but that’s not how God wants us to think about fellowship with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in you, not outside you. The Lord Jesus said to His disciples, “…he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” (John 14:17). In other words, while He was with them, God’s plan and purpose was for the Holy Spirit to enter into them and live in them.
On the day of Pentecost, the Bible says there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost…” (Acts 2:4). From that day, the Holy Spirit entered into them to live in them. That’s what has happened with you if you have received the Holy Spirit. He’s not sitting in a chair close to you. No.
He’s with you, in you, and all around you. It’s the reason you can hear His voice from inside you and from outside. How glorious your life would be if you’d constantly and consciously have fellowship with the Holy Spirit! Fellowship is intimacy with Him: knowing Him and relating with Him. It’s a sharing together; He’s no longer a stranger to you but one with whom you relate from your heart.
Always share your heart with him about anything and everything. Bring the consciousness of His presence and His love into your daily walk, into your life. Be ever mindful of His amazing ministry in your life. Talk with Him like He’s a living being because He is. Relate with Him like someone who’s ever present with you because He’s right there, and He hears you. Have discussions with Him. Share your thoughts with Him knowing that He cares deeply about you and always wants the best for you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in me. I enjoy rich fellowship with Him, walking in constant communion, guidance and intimacy. I am conscious of His presence, and I receive direction, wisdom and strength always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
