Reflections on His Spirit

God, the Father, and Jesus Christ the Son, are often the focus of the Christian faith with little thought or attention given to the third member of the Trinity--the Holy Spirit.

More Description

God, the Father, and Jesus Christ the Son, are often the focus of the Christian faith with little thought or attention given to the third member of the Trinity--the Holy Spirit. In John 14: 16-21 Jesus promised His disciples, when He left, that He would ask the Father to send a 'helper' to be with them in His physical absence to comfort, guide and empower them to continue His ministry on earth. The book of Acts records the powerful coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the acts performed by His followers after that event. Throughout the New Testament writings, evidences of the Holy Spirit's power and presence are attested to by Paul and others who were empowered to share the gospel and the love of Christ in supernatural ways through His presence. Too often, the Holy Spirit has been thought of as an 'it' rather than a person and has been neglected in church teachings because of misunderstandings as to His nature and His role in the life of the born again believer. In Reflections on His Spirit, the author uses poetic expressions to help readers to recognize and understand at a deeper level who the Holy Spirit is and His role in the Christian's life. Utilizing prayer as a means of growing more sensitive to His gentle, quiet voice and a heart filled by the Holy Spirit leads to obedience to His leadership and produces the fruits found in Galatians 5:22-23: "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
