Look at the disciples. Jesus breathed on them and they received the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit indwells in a believer when they are saved. The infilling of the Holy Spirit comes at the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, as in the day of Pentecost, which is evident by speaking in tongues. If you look at Jesus, the woman touched his cloak, and he felt the Holy Spirit flow out of him. He had the Holy Spirit without measure. We don't..so we get refilled!
I think the illustration of Holy Spirit in the above mentioned paragraph assume that Holy Spirit is a "power".
When "Jesus breathed on them" merely means that Holy Spirit entering the spiritual realm of the disciples. She/He is with them from that time onward.
The "infilling of the Holy Spirit" means not only Holy Spirit to be in our subconsciousness, dream and inner world, but she is also besides us to protect and accompany us.
"Speaking in tongue" is a gift given by Holy Spirit to us. The tongue is a sign that Holy Spirit is with us. The language we utter is completely incomprehensible to non-follower of Christ and Satan.
"He feel that Holy Spirit flow out of him" should be interpret as "Jesus feels that Holy Spirit leave him temporarily to heal the person" or "Jesus feels that Holy Spirit release her power to the person who touch her cloak"
How wrong we are int he last 2000 years to think Holy Spirit as a FLOW OF ERERGY of POWER from God. No! Holy Spirit is commission by God to bring people back to God by various ways on earth. She is God. The third God who is like lover to me.
