Every relationship without communication dies, irrespective of what that relationship is, whether it’s the relationship between parents and their children, spouses, etc.
On the other hand, good communication nourishes and enhances relationships. If you’re going to have a richer fellowship with the Holy Spirit, you need to commune effectively with Him in prayer. The foundational principles of developing a personal and intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is through the Word of God and prayer. He’s a person, and you’ve got to relate to Him as a person. Read our opening scripture again; it indicates the kind of relationship we’re supposed to have with the Lord. The Father is in heaven, and Jesus has gone to heaven; only the Holy Spirit is here with us. The God we know and relate to today is the Holy Spirit. He makes the presence of the Father and the presence of Jesus real to you. So, learn to talk to Him. That’s why speaking in tongues is also vital. Speak in tongues often.
If Apostle Paul realized it was necessary for him to speak in tongues so much that he could say he spoke with tongues more than the whole Corinthian church (1 Corinthians 14:18), then you must recognize its importance. Speak in tongues every day and every so often, and build a robust relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit; I recognize His presence in my life and yield fully to His leading. As I fellowship with Him, my spirit is built strong, and I’m empowered to live victoriously, every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
