NOTE
Every believer has the right to receive the Holy Spirit. When one presents his/her body as a living Sacrifice to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will come in, dwell and use him/her to do exploits.
Holy Spirit cannot dwell in a body that is not a living sacrifice. Without the Holy Spirit anything can happen. Without the Holy Spirit one will make terrible MISTAKES. The Holy Spirit is not a thing but a personality.
One of the things that will make people acknowledge that the Holy Spirit is in you is your ability to be honest in all you do. When the Holy Spirit dwells in ones life, troubles, tragedies and so on will run away from such person because he/she is carrying God. One of the things that grieves the Holy Spirit is anger (when one keep prolonged anger against his/her spouse or anyone the Holy spirit departs from such body). DON'T GRIEVE THE HOLYSPIRIT.
If one wants to receive the Holy Spirit, he/she must empty himself of those lives, attitude etc. that grieves the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit serves as a Helper in a time when one is helpless.
HOW TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
1. GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST: You need to give your life to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour because the Holy Spirit was sent by Him.
2. PRESENT YOUR BODY AS A LIVING SACRIFICE: When one presents his/her body as a living Sacrifice to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will come in, dwell and use him/her to do exploits.
