The Holy Spirit is the one that make sure that the gospel is spread through out the world truthfully, and He make sure that everyone understand the word. He sort of bring the word to life in your daily lives so that you can relate to it and know its true meaning.
2 Samuel 12:12 The Lord sent Nathan to David. When he came to him, he said, “There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor. 2 The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, 3 but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him.”
5 David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die! 6 He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.”
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!

The Word is our rock and foundation. The way we know truth from untruth. The Spirit leads, guides and comforts us, within the parameters set up by the Word. Sometimes that is also rebuke, or teaching when we have been wrongly taught.
I am most aware of the work of the Spirit when I read my Bible, but also when I am doing ministry in my chaplaincy. The Holy Spirit always gives me the Bible verse the person needs most for encouragement and hope.
I am so grateful to be able to have the freedom to read and preach the Word, under the continual guidance of the Holy Spirit. So yes, there is a HUGE relationship between the two.
