We live in a world in which the ego is exalted in very exaggerate ways. However, I'd like to warn you: if you want to accomplish great things with Hashem, you will have to leave your ego behind. No matter how far we can look back, great men and women of God have accomplished great deeds with the Holy Spirit. 
Working with the Holy Spirit is only possible if you are willing to empty you of yourself and allow the Spirit of God to take over and give you direction.

Understanding the nature of the Holy Spirit

We first hear about the Spirit of God in the Book of Genesis:

"And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters."

Before our Messiah Yeshua ascended to Heaven, the Spirit of God filled a few, chosen children of Israel who were invested with its power. Some of them fulfilled prophetic missions.
After His Resurrection Yeshua gave the Holy Spirit as a gift to His disciples. Any true disciple is entitled to receiving the Holy Spirit. 
I have experienced baptism in the Holy Spirit and discovering Yeshua's permanent presence in me has been a tremendous blessing.
The Holy Spirit has been guiding me each and every day since Yeshua saved me, two years ago.
However, our Lord made it clear to me that I needed to empty myself much more and to surrender completely in order to experience the Holy Spirit at full power.

A lot of disciples in our contemporary world think that receiving the Holy Spirit is enough. In fact, it isn't. You MUST let the Spirit direct you completely; otherwise, you might miss a lot of blessings that Yeshua has in reserve for you.

"Your will be done, not mine"

A true disciple must be committed to our Lord. But not as a slave, because Yeshua calls us His friends. Friends of the King of the Kings we are and since we are His friends, we should be committed to doing His will.

Yeshua gave us a perfect model of prayer, our Father.
The third verse says: "your will be done".

A true disciple should be committed to do our Father's will and to accept it with humility, in the same way Yeshua did, on that tragic night when He foresaw the way people would treat Him and murder Him.

Our Father, in His immense wisdom, always knows better.

Once we become humble enough to accept Hashem's plan, even if it is not exactly what we projected for ourselves, we are ready to empty our jar from all selfish wishes. The greater the degree of emptiness and surrender, the more the waters of the Spirit will flow throw us and rain down as tremendous blessings to the ones we encounter.
