The Holy Spirit empowers my life to be spiritual, because I am rightly related to the Spirit of God. I am a Christian because I am rightly related to Christ Jesus who saved, redeemed, and called me out of darkness into His marvelous light (Chafer, p. 17). God drew me to His fellowship by the power of His Holy Spirit. I could not believe in God id it had not been for the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit enables me to cast down vain imaginations and any high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and I can bring every thought captive into the obedience of Christ Jesus only by the power of the Holy Spirit I can accomplish that feat on a daily basis (2 Cor. 10:5). I am enabled to Walk in the Spirit and avoid fulfilling

    The Doctrine and Covenants is a book of divine revelations, given to members of the Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Doctrine and Covenants is a companion to the Book of Mormon and is the capstone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

    What my husband's advancement to Chief Petty Officer means to me? The answer of that question could be 10 pages long or I could just resume what I feel in one word, "extremely proud", well I guess two words. I met Christian 16 years ago, he was full of energy, funny, and he had the ability to turn any sad or bad situation into a joke making everybody laugh; that is what make me fell in love with him.

    The read of the article “A Pentecostal Way of Doing Theology: Method and Manner”, by Archer was a lot to digest. The dilemma is to be able to resurrect and define Pentecostalism Pentecostal. I haven’t given this concept much thought recently, but I’ve known this for a while. I was brought into the Pentecostal “mode” in 1975 to a church that was practicing the true traditional Pentecostal theological ways. Since then, I haven’t been able to find a comparable church proclaiming or practicing these beliefs.…

    Galatians 5:22-23 states, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Throughout the scriptures, it talks about identifying the Spirit with a burning in the bosom, however, that is seldom the case. Doctrine and Covenants 8:2 explains how the Spirit communicates with people. “Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart. D & C 9:8 states, “But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it…

    praising Him, venerating Him, and paying homage to Him, not just externally but in our hearts, as well (Isaiah 29:13; 1 Samuel 15:22-23. EVS). ” For this reason, God is to be exalted internally, because He controls the very breath in a person’s body. The author, Paul F. M.

    A recent renaissance of the doctrine of Trinity in the latter half of the twentieth century has shown to be the impetus for many prominent theologians to apply this theology into all traditional loci of systematic theology. One such enrichment is the Third Article theology (because of the Holy Spirit's position in the creed), by which pneumatology assumes first place in terms of theological methodology. Standing on the shoulders of giants, such as Karl Barth or Paul Tillich, who did not have the opportunity to finish this project, recent works from well-known theologians have reassessed numerous theological topics from a distinctively pneumatological viewpoint, which have shed new light on contemporary issues. One of the key theological…

    Sire challenges the human race with asking this question, because as humans we never really think what exactly are we, what are the characteristics we hold, we are too busy trying to figure what the next species of fish is and what are its characteristics. A human being is the most advanced creature on this planet, yes we are creatures just like a dog and ape, but we are the only creatures to take on a spirit. Larsen, from the University of Oslo, says “The spirit is the one acting while the human body only serves as the spirit’s receptacle” (8). Larsen is talking about actual human spirits and not the Holy Spirit, but it works for both. Our flesh bodies serve as a disguise for our spirit, ad when we die our spirit goes up to heaven and our bodies stay here.…
