Spirit

First of all, the Holy Spirit gives believers the freedom to grow in sanctification and to glorify God. Believers have freedom simply because it is God’s gift to us, thus it can only be exercised in faith by walking by the spirit. (“galatians 5:13-26”) God has not given this freedom so people can live their lives for their own pleasure, but for the first time, they can do what God desires out of love for Him. The Holy Spirit gives true believers this desire to serve God. Believers will not enjoy…

574 The Holy Spirit is teaching me how to teach and preach with inspiration and anointing, and what 575 to do and what not to do to flow with the Holy Spirit. Sometimes there is more inspiration and 576 anointing and sometimes less. I am really in a learning experience. 577 About three o’clock, Barbara and I went down to the ocean to go swimming, but when we got 578 there one of the boys was on the beach fishing, so we watched. He had a long stick (about seven feet 579 long) with several sharp…

father, the son, and the holy spirit…” about 12 times in a day. Now despite this relentless repetition I didn’t really understand exactly what I was saying. It was only until I was in about 8th grade when I began to understand the doctrine behind the Holy Trinity. Along with this initial understanding, I have gained a new knowledge of it in this class. We’ve learned that the three persons posses one nature which is God. The persons, The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit all coexist, and were…

However, there are times when The Holy Spirit – as only He can will cause the eyes of my understanding to be enlightened [Eph. 1:18] concerning a passage I thought I had a full understanding of. Recently, I’ve been spending some time in study regarding deliverance. You see, I came to the Lord many moons ago. My conversion took place during a time when churches still made altar calls and when persons who answered that call and were bound by demonic spirits the preacher and the mothers would…

From the video “Two Spirit People”, different people talk about being “two spirits”, their beliefs on it and sexual orientation. In the video, all speakers voices are according to their sex, but their physical appearance says something else. The first speaker is Benjamin, he has long hair, which he puts in pigtails and added pink hair accessories to it. He is wearing a gold long drop earring, a necklace, and lots of gold rings that look to be mostly for females. His face also seems as though he…

J.M.J. Holy Trinity and Spirit of Christ Holy Trinity and Spirit of Christ are two Catholic Churches in Westminster, Colorado. Both churches have details that are unique. Though they are in such proximity with each other, they have characteristics that differ. On the other hand, Holy Trinity and Spirit of Christ share several similarities. In examining their similarities and differences, we can discover that Holy Trinity and Spirit of Christ are wonderful churches in their own way. Holy…

If we are not preaching Christ, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father; our preaching is not Christian. Some churches and people for whatever reason attempt to eliminate Christ’s presence from their preaching. It is Christ who told us, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” Jesus is in time what God the Father is in eternity. Our preaching is not authentic when we don’t exalt and lift up the name of Jesus in our preaching. We have forgotten that Christ is the one who bleed and died for our…

Once again, Clark H. Pinnock opens wide my eyes to the power of the Holy Spirit at work in the world through the church. He highlights the need for the church to be empowered by the Spirit in order to complete God’s mission. For example, Pinnock says, “Like Jesus, the church must live not out of its own resources but by the power of the indwelling Spirit, which breathes, strengthens, inspires and guides” (Pinnock 115). This is a huge reminder for me not to depend on the world’s ideas or even my…

plurality or threeness of the Trinity can best be explained in the following depiction: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are truly distinct from one another because of their relationship with one another; however, they are entirely God due to sharing the same essence. This suggests that the threeness of God can be found in the Eternal Processions or relations between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as indicated by Gregory of Nazianzus. While each created thing is made up of a substance or…

the time, for it allowed people to social climb and the exhibition of social snobbery. James took very hands on approach to this. Through the problem of false teaching wisdom is necessary that is, true wisdom. Wisdom is linked to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of wisdom and of understanding. We know proverbs as the book of wisdom and Paul is known to us as one of the wisest apostles. Paul’s wisdom is linked to Christology as James presents us with…
