He (the Spirit) will glorify Me (Jesus),... (John 16:14)
And when He (the Spirit) comes, He will convict the world (us) ... (John 16:8)
As we turn our heart to the Lord and call upon His name, Lord Jesus! we immediately touch the Spirit in our human spirit. We may not have special feelings, but two things will happen spontaneously: exalting Jesus and convicting us. On one hand, the Spirit will glorify Jesus and cause us to appreciate Him, treasure Him, honor Him and love Him. On the other hand, the Spirit will expose us, condemn us, rebuke us and cause us to deny ourselves.
... no one can say, Jesus is Lord! except in the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:3)
... call on the Lord out of a pure heart. (2 Timothy 2:22)
