I agree with what Ohio said. Piper was talking about experiencing the Spirit.
A simple example maybe would clarify:
We read in the Word (The Bible) about loving our neighbor or our enemies. We realize that in ourselves we cannot. We pray God to manifest His love in us. He answer our prayer by filling us with His Spirit, His Love, etc.. We experience more of God Spirit. If this is what Piper meant, there is nothing wrong with it.
