The Holy Spirit works as one with God the father and God the son. They work in perfect unity, but each has their own roles. There is no power dynamic with them. It all happens naturally and flawlessly. If you are a Christian, then you get a basic understanding of this now. However, when we enter Heaven, we will be a part of that perfection.
The Holy Spirit is active in creation, life, salvation, resurrection, and our eternal hope. He bears witness of who Jesus is and always has been. He confirms to us that Jesus is Christ. He discloses and reveals Jesus to us in a more intimate way. He never speaks of himself, only God and Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is the minister in our hearts. His role in salvation is vital. He lives in our heart, cleans house, and helps build us into someone more like Jesus. He is our counselor to convict us of sin, reveal righteousness, and motivates judgment on our conscience. His residence in us is our seal that allows us to enter Heaven. If he has not marked us, then we will never enter.
When a person is saved, the Holy Spirit comes along side their soul to live out the rest of the human life with that person. He pours himself into them abundantly like a person that is very thirsty drinks up water. If you limit the Holy Spirit's access, then you limit the abundance that He is trying to give you.
You are only as close to God as you want to be because the Holy Spirit doesn't force himself into you or on you. You have to be willing and want it. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit only occurs once when you get saves, but he refreshes, strengthens, and changes your daily.
