The eternal resting place of the Holy Spirit is the Word of God.
When Jesus was baptised the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove " rested upon him".
Noah set out a dove Twice . The first time it found no rest and came back to him who sent it.
The second time it found a place of rest and came with a token of that rest .
In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit came " upon " certain people to enable them t do the work of God .
In the new it not only came upon but filled those believers ( more than once) .
In as much and by the same measure we honour the Word of God and keep it in as much and by the same measure the anointing abides in you.
We can quench the Spirit and we can grieve the Holy Spirit as believers . We can resist the Holy Spirit if unbelievers .
How far or near He is depends greatly upon our attitudes and obedience .
"I am crucified with christ" Now that is quite a statement. " I am buried with Christ" That's another .
" I am risen together with Christ" and made to sit together with Christ .
Christ means anointed . So when Jesus spoke of some saying " lo here is Christ or there is christ " he was not saying they wil say o here is Jesus but the anointing .
Don't go running after them for it is not there at all it is always on the Word and if you go chasing after them it's line chasing that pot of gold thry say is at the end of the rainbow .
God means us not only to be BORN again by the Word of God and the Spirit of God but to be also filled and overflowing with the Spirit being led by Him into all truth and in the light of life .
It was to Christian's Paul was praying for that " the eyes of our understanding being opened that we might see and comprehend what is the exceeding greatness of His power thatbis towards us who believe .."
In another place " that I might know the pioneer of His resurrection .." you can't know the power of His resurrection unless you are "made conformable to His death ".
