 Why does it seem like some believers have more of the Holy Spirit than others? Every true believer has the power of the Holy Spirit residing in them, so let's say that you have a large bank balance. The account profile bears your name, your birthday, your address, your ID number, and so forth. And in order to spend from that account, you are given a debit card. If you lose the card, that doesn't mean you've lost your bank balance, it's still there in your name. You didn't lose the balance, you lost your access to it. In the same way, the power of the Holy Spirit does indeed exist in all believers. Faith and obedience are the means by which you access and use what God has permanently deposited in you.
