Popular author Jack Levison offers a fresh take on the Holy Spirit through a careful reading of every reference to the Spirit in the Gospels. Viewed through the lens of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, the Spirit shows up at odd times and in odd teachings - in desert sojourns, a strange saying about scorpions and snakes, and puzzling sayings about birth from above and springs from below. Grounded in scholarship yet accessible and inviting, this companion volume to Levison's A Boundless God analyzes key aspects of Jesus' experience of the Holy Spirit.

Prophets have always been God's covenant lawyers. Under the Old Covenant, they came as God's lawyers to prosecute his case against his covenant partner, Israel. Now, in the New Covenant, they are still God's covenant lawyers, but the covenant has changed. Instead of pointing out guilt, sin, and condemnation, the New Covenant lawyer's job is to point to the New Covenant, to declare, "You are released from shame; you are forgiven; you are free!"

Listening to the Holy Ghost is a book ordained by God given to me through a vision in a dream in July of 2011. For years I thought I knew about God, but I had no idea of His TRUE power. In my personal walk with God, I found out that I was not alone. In fact, many people were and are still unaware of the true power of God. This book covers everything relating to what the Bible calls the Mysteries of the Kingdom. Topics include God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, Angels, the devil/satin, the antichrist, demons, Prayer, and more.

The Purpose and Motivation Behind the Gifts The gifts of the Holy Spirit are bestowed upon believers for specific purposes that align with God’s overarching plan for His Church. These gifts are not given for personal glorification or self-exaltation but to serve others, to strengthen the Church, and to advance the Kingdom of God. The Apostle Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 12:7 that “the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.” This underscores the communal nature of the gifts; they are meant to benefit the entire body of Christ. Edification of the ...

In 1 Corinthians chapter 12 the apostle Paul writes: “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant.” Sadly, today many Christians are poorly equipped to understand what the Bible has to say about the Holy Spirit. Throughout the Old Testament we see the revealed power of God referred to as the “Spirit of God” (at creation, anointing prophets, etc.). Yet clearly the Holy Spirit is more than just the force of God, he is a person. In the New Testament Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Triune God.

Sometimes Christians - even those of us who have been following Jesus for a long time - have a sense of something missing. We feel that we should be more comfortable and confident in our relationship with God. We wonder, "Shouldn't I be more capable, peaceful, joyful, and spiritual?" We are hungry for more.

Examining the claims of revival both historic and present day. How to test modern day revivals, dividing the authentic from the fake.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit is the prominent feature of the New Testament church. In the Old Testament God promised that His Spirit would be outpoured upon all flesh. On the day of Pentecost, God’s promise was fulfilled. In the pages of this book, the dynamics of the promise of the Father; that is, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues will be explored.

The Bible clearly highlights the New Testament gift of prophecy as a powerful blessing that is meant to encourage, exhort, and comfort the body of Christ. Tragically, however, decades of unbalanced teaching, unaccountable prophecies, and unhealthy prophets have driven many churches and individuals to abandon the prophetic ministry altogether. In these troubling times the church cannot afford to neglect any of the Kingdom resources that God has made available to His people. "Prophesy" lays out a clear theological framework for the purpose and necessity of the gift of prophecy among us today....

The Holy Spirit in the Christian Life offers a brief account of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, focusing specifically on the question of the person and work of the Spirit in the Christian life.

"I'll be there in spirit." We say this knowing it isn't really possible. Yet we often find ourselves dislocated from the present, inattentive to things in front of us: people, work, culture, ministry opportunities, prayer, and even the Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit, however, relocates us in the present, motivating us to fully engage whatever God puts before us. Instead of relating narrowly to the Spirit based on just a few of his gifts, this book broadens our engagement with him, touring aspects of his vast character that often go unexplored.

Unity Through Repentance is the story of God interrupting the lives and plans of an ordinary couple to invite them into the adventure of a lifetime—gathering all the major streams of Jesus-followers in Wittenberg on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. God gave the vision; tested and confirmed the calling; formed an international leadership team; and inspired a series of gatherings dedicated to joining with Jesus through repentance, forgiveness, and praying John 17.

Through this focus, this book offers detailed help for those who sense a need for the breath of life and the supernatural lift afforded through the wind of the Spirit.

There is great confusion and controversy over the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Who is he, and what does he do? Is he some type of force? Is he an energy or a thing? Likewise, topics such as spiritual gifts, the baptism in the Spirit, and being filled with the Spirit tend to incite differing views and discord, even amongst the sincerest and most devoted Christians. Because of all this, some have hesitated to study or teach on the Holy Spirit. This is unfortunate, since the Holy Spirit makes possible both the redemption (John 6:8-9, Rom 8:11) and sanctification (1 Pet 1:2) of believers. In ...

The fantasy worlds of some of our favorite books are not as far away from real life as we might think. The spiritual world of the Bible is dense. In the midst of existence is the Trinity, angels, demons, Satan, monsters, giants, supernatural gifts, the afterlife, bodily resurrection, and much more. As we gaze deeper into these biblical glimpses of the hidden world, we begin to reshape both our understanding of our everyday life and the way in which we can and should live out our faith as Christians.

This book, Holy Spirit the Forgotten God, gives a classical revelation of the Holy Spirit who though is somewhat forgotten in the world, today, but He is the God who is in charge of this era, known as "the Era of the Holy Spirit". Scripture affirms the fact that Jesus had promised not to leave us as orphans (when the time of his departure had come), that he would ask the father and He would give us another helper who would take his place.

In this book, we will explore the mystery of God; that is, the doctrine of the Trinity or Triune God. For years, the debate continues as to whether Jesus Christ and the Father are the same or if they are separate. Answers to this controversy are within the word of God which clearly reveals the truth. In this publication, we will plainly discuss the Godhead; that is, the divine nature of God. Through the presentation of biblical truth, we will bring clarity to this controversial subject.
