The Power of the Spirit - Christian Inspirational Book for Personal Growth & Faith Strengthening | Perfect for Bible Study, Devotional Reading & Spiritual Guidance

This is the THE BOOK, besides the Bible, that Christians, both new and old, should read! Remember what Jesus told his disciples?John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.All of these years have passed by, yet I never understood the Holy Spirit! I have been a Christian for about 20 years. Upon my conversion, I was just happy that I had found Jesus and was "saved'. However, I became frustrated over time, trying to be a "nice Christian" all of the time. There had to be something more! Something was missing. By reading this book, I realized that I had it all wrong! I was not supposed to be "trying" on my own! There is no life in"trying" when it comes to Jesus Christ. And I had big issues that needed solving in my own life. So, about 5 months ago, I felt a real pull on my heart to really seek out God, and asked Him to reveal himself to me. I was lost without His guidance. I had my first "real" Holy Spirit experience.... it was such a blessing and encouragement! God Himself had reached out to me, I believe, because I reached out for Him! My heart told me to read the Bible to gain understanding about God and His Trinity. (I have not read most of it.....I'm sure there are many Christians who haven't read the Book either. No condemnation!) By now, I am almost through the Old Testament. God even gave me the gift of joy as I read his Word (I was worried at first because I thought it would be boring to read. I was wrong!). So ask for that gift of joy! The Old Testament has taught me so much about God, the Father. This knowledge that has changed my heart!I write all of this to give you my perspective. Even though I believed in God, I hadn't really seen him lately at work in my life or those around me. My husband already had this book, and suggested that I read it alongside the Bible. My eyes were OPENED! I had no idea how I had been short changing myself all of this time. Here's the short of it: The Holy Spirit puts God's desires in your heart, then HE works THROUGH YOU. A constant companion and minister of the WORD. God with you!I have have TWO HUGE breakthroughs in my life these past couple of months as a result of faithfully following the leading of the Holy Spirit. Those strongholds were simply demolished. One I had asked for, and the other was just a gift from the Lord. My hard heart turned soft, full of love.... like God's, for which I prayed. Unbelievable! Wonderful!PASTORS: Tell your congregations to just start reading the Bible, and instruct them to pray to the Holy Spirit for life, help and guidance. Do this instead of preaching about what the church goer "owes" the Church. (Tithes)CHRISTIANS, please read this book. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to you, and He will! Don't let His message be diluted or distorted. When you stand before Him at Judgement, you will have no excuses. Do not be deceived!Read The Parable of the Ten Virgins Matthew 25:1-13. The last verses are haunting to anyone who confesses with their lips that Jesus is Lord:11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’12 “But He replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. It is your heart and your mouth, which determine your salvation in Christ. I want to KNOW and BE KNOWN by our Lord. I pray that all who read this review will be blessed, in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit waits for you.
