The Holy Spirit reveals himself through the Word. The Word is mighty as no other book form because of the Spirit's endorsement.
We are privileged to believe from the Holy Spirit inspired Word that the Holy Spirit strengthens the inner man...directly...as the Word reveals....Ephesians 3:14-21.
And then in Ephesians 1:18-21:
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know
- what is the hope of His calling
- what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints
- and what is the suprassing greatness of power
These (hope, riches, power directed toward us...directly) are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ when He raised him from the dead.
We have coming at us the identical power as used at Jesus's tomb that one morning. My friend, may we awaken to the intricate co-existence with God's Spirit. May we yield that we might grow in Him.

Amen and Amen! Spirit written! I needed this today.
Oh Terry, you hit a homer w/this. I have learned so much from you...and continue maturing spiritually. Your thoughts/words are right on target and very much appreciated. Thank you so much for being 'so brilliant'. Most of all, for being so spirit led. Wow!!!
I personally love this, when Jesus was telling the twelve about the coming of the Spirit...."But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you" (John 14:26). What an awesome thing that He is still teaching us! It's not just up to us to only read the word. He will help us understand and decipher and discern.
